It??™s a good idea to check the Apress website or http://www.prosetech.com to download the
most recent up-to-date code samples. You??™ll need to do this to test most of the more sophisticated
code examples described in this book because the less significant details are usually left
out. This book focuses on the most important sections so that you don??™t need to wade through
needless extra pages to understand a concept.
To download the source code, surf to http://www.prosetech.com and look for the page for
this book. You??™ll also find a list of links that are mentioned in this book, so you can find important
tools and examples without needless typing.
Feedback
This book has the ambitious goal of being the best tutorial and reference for programming
WPF. Toward that end, your comments and suggestions are extremely helpful. You can send
complaints, adulation, and everything in between directly to apress@prosetech.com. I can??™t
solve your .NET problems or critique your code, but I will benefit from information about
what this book did right and wrong (or what it may have done in an utterly confusing way).
