Amazing Course. But I will not use WPF so much I think. Most of programming I do I do for myself and then it is easier to use Window Form Applications. But I will give it more chanses while I goes thru this part 2 of the Media Player
By Haris Abbasi on 10/31/2024
The course project is very interesting. However, the course content isn't structured properly. The instructor used already written code in the videos and just explained it like a boring theory class presentation which is difficult to follow. Also, I feel a lot of important concepts are still missing; so if someone wants to take this course then he/she should also learn from other materials in order to master WPF.

love the course; learnt a lot; excellent job; thank you.

Instructor has an excellent grasp of the subject matter and his delivery is excellent, clear, straightforward and easily understood. Great course.

A great presenter and and clearly an expert. Excellent detail given and every step is related with useful additional information. Great for learning c# with a real world application. I'm sure I will return to this course many times for reference material.
By Kurella Satya Narayan on 9/20/2019
The course teaches some good stuffs but is faster and is more like a powerpoint presentation rather than an interactive session where trainer and trainee can write code simultaneously. The instructor seems to be moving fast by just showing already written code instead of writing it while teaching. It would have been better if there was an introductory lesson on the WPF project walk through to understand a WPF project structure, contents, files etc. The course covers most of the topics which are actually available free online. It doesn't mean that the instructor lack knowledge, but expected a lot more deep dive into WPF.

For OpenFolder_Click event you can use Ooki.Dialogs Nuget package that provides VistaFolderBrowserDialog which is better than the old one. Great course - used it as a WPF crash course. Thanks!

I am impressed with the depth of knowledge Huw conveyed, in such an easily understand manner. Explaining each of the capabilities, suggesting improvements, and identifying the strengths/weaknesses of the language/program/project. Grateful for the lesson!
By Raimundo Torres on 10/15/2018
So far, the explanations are very well done and very clear. But I thought that a single project was being built as you progress through the lessons, which for me it would have been more rewarding and easier to follow.
By Wstewlin@yahoo.com on 5/28/2018
Just getting started, but I can say it is well presented and easy to understand. I have learned some worthwhile things already.
