WPF

Windows Presentation Foundation

Introduction

  • Framework for building UIs for Windows
  • Works for old Windows versions (e.g. Windows 7), too
  • XAML for defining views
    • Like HTML being the language for web views
    • See also XAML Standard
  • WPF is "done"
    • Stable
    • Backwards compatible
    • No huge investments for future enhancements

Alternatives

  • Consider Xamarin for mobile apps written in C#
    Also uses XAML
  • Consider UWP for native Windows 10 apps written in C#
    Also uses XAML
  • Consider Cordova-based frameworks (e.g. Ionic) for mobile apps written with web technology
  • Consider Progressive Web Apps for apps that should also work in the browser
