Professional WPF Programming : .NET Development with the Windows Presentation Foundation from Wrox Press is available for pre-order on Amazon. This title is co-authored by Scott Van Vliet, Shawn W. Livermore and Chris Andrade. The book will be around 650 pages and is due for release in early October 2006. None of the authors are notable figures in the WPF community, however by limiting the number of co-authors to 3 this book will hopefully not suffer from the weaknesses that plague other books in the series that are co-authored by dozens of authors and lack cohesion. The book description raises a number of other interesting questions - frequent mentions of ASP.NET and talk of "built-in server controls" and mention of "Ajax/Atlas" makes the book sound at best like a very web-centric view of WPF, and at worst fundamentally misguided about what WPF is really about. Hopefully the final book will be better written than the current description that appears on Amazon.
