They have been built to a new paradigm that—if harnessed correctly—can yield unprecedented power and performance. This book shows you how to control that power to produce clean, testable, maintainable code.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\n \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\n It is now recognized that any non-trivial WPF or Silverlight application needs be designed around the Model-View-ViewModel (MVVM) design pattern in order to unlock the technology's full data-binding potential.  \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\n \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\n However, the knowledge of how to do this is missing from a large part of the development community—even amongst those who work with WPF and Silverlight on a daily basis. Too often there is a reliance on programmatic interaction between controls and not enough trust in the technologies' data-binding capabilities. This leads to a clouding of design values and an inevitable loss of performance, scalability, and maintainability throughout the application. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\n \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\n \u003cem\u003ePro WPF and Silverlight MVVM\u003c\/em\u003e will show you how to arrange your application so that it can grow as much as required in any direction without danger of collapse.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Apress\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2010-12-29\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9781430231622\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-1-4302-3163-9\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 254cm x178cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 272\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Apress","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47672163926156,"sku":"9781430231622","price":53.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9781430231622.jpg?v=1776521102","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9781430231622","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
