WPF 4.0

Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) is Microsoft's user interface technology ... aa much much advanced version of so called "Windows development". It has great graphic capabilities, very responsive and with a great control toolkit. With Expression Studio as far as creativity and rich user experience goes sky is the limit. It has a strong MVVM (Model-View-ViewModel) pattern .. pretty much on the lines of Model-View -Provider. A strong Prism (advanced Composite Application Block) library with unity container for IoC makes enterprise development pretty elegant. Overall the roadmap for WPF looks very promising. With Silverlight which is a subset of WPF for web, Microsoft has captured the attention of developers towards rich user experience on web too. Definitely WPF and Silverlight are excellent technologies to watch out for in future!
