Hey all.
I have a very fundamental understanding of the C# language, that is, I have written a small OOP program in it a while back, and a small client-server program (both for school). So I wouldn't say my knowledge of the language was top notch. However, I have to (or want to rather) write an application in it, and I want to do it with WPF. My problem is, I have no experience with WPF, and am having a very hard time finding material on it. I generally learn well from reading books with practical examples (that are well explained) but I can't find any that don't go very far into theory. I was wondering if you guys had any tips for me.
A little on the application I want to build: It's a program that will be, well, very simple, I want it to take user input, and I want it to interact with a MySQL database (for starters). So the book would have to contain enough material on WPF for me to get that at the very least. The book can of course explain how to interact with any type of SQL, I only mention MySQL because I intend to build a web application on top of this one later, that will interact with the same database, and well, I've already built a fair bit of it and am using MySQL.
But I'd appreciate any pointers.
