How Can I become a better WPF developer? [closed]

Question

For Quick learning WPF,I am following few books of WPF.But I don't know how to start it and which steps I have to follow to get Quick knowledge on WPF Programming with C#

Answer 1

Try to think of interesting and useful projects. I suggest a charting library with data-binding support. You will learn many important notions like:

• Composing elements in a container
• Creating custom dependency properties
• Providing data-binding support for the list of points to draw (for example), using INotifyCollectionChanged interface
• Using fast rendering techniques to plot thousands of points (look for DrawingVisual class)

And most importantly: you will learn to create your own components that suit your own needs, instead of always relying on existing ones.
