Boulder .NET User Group - Monthly Presentation for January - Building Data Visualization Applications with the Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) with Tim Huckaby

Join Us for Our January Presentation

Tim Huckaby- Building Data Visualization Applications with the Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF)

Intended Audience:
Software developers, application architects, designers with some prior experience with .NET.
Level: 200 (with small amounts of advanced, 300-400, topics - broad appeal)

Description:
This session will be heavily demo focused to accentuate how the power of the Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) can be used to visualize data. WPF is the next-generation presentation sub-system for Windows. It provides developers and designers with a unified programming model for building rich Windows smart client user experiences that incorporate UI, media, and documents. WPF uses vector based graphics rendering, which results in better graphics and presentation for an application. WPF also has other features such as layout, styling, and data binding, which, when you mix with interactivity, enables scenarios such as interactive data visualization. When you put all this together, you have a unified API for various presentation components, such as 2D and 3D documents and declarative programming through XAML, which is a powerful platform for data visualization that can be used to really “light-up” you enterprise applications.
