Building Enterprise Applications with Windows Presentation Foundation and the Model View ViewModel Pattern

Create rich, flexible, and maintainable line-of-business applications with the MVVM design pattern Simplify and improve business application development by applying the MVVM pattern to Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) and Microsoft(R) Silverlight(R) 4. With this hands-on guide, you'll use MVVM with data binding, commands, and behaviors to create user interfaces loosely coupled to business logic. MVVM is ideal for .NET developers working with WPF and Silverlight--whether or not you have experience building enterprise applications. Discover how to: Dive deep into MVVM--and learn how it differs from other UI design patterns Build a simple Customer Relationship Management application you can adapt for your own projects Implement MVVM to maintain separation between UI declarative syntax and presentation logic code Create a Domain Model to define your application's business context Write dynamic code for the data access layer with the Microsoft Entity Framework and NHibernate Enforce complex data-validation scenarios using Windows Workflow Foundation 4 Implement MVVM using frameworks and toolkits such as Microsoft Prism Get code samples on the web For system requirements, see the Introduction.
