Learning WPF in 2020

I was a desktop app developer when I started my programming journey, I wrote VBScript, VB.net, and C#.net. I've switched to web programming since I started Softinn (2012). 

Now, with the need to connect online to offline, I will have to re-visit desktop programming. I have developed a few applications using WPF in the past (when it was fairly new), I have to say that i'm not impressed by the framework then. 

Recently, I've got the chance to re-learn WPF and found that it's now a viable solution. Here's what I've discovered:

  •  A good read to learn about Data Binding on WPF
  • PrismLibrary - A good application framework for WPF desktop application
  • A good read to learn about Templating
