Description: Now you are writing WPF applications, and wondering – what is all this code in the code behind? Shouldn’t we be doing something different? Our cousins working with ASP.NET MVC don’t even have a code behind! The answer is YES – you should indeed be doing it differently. The MVVM pattern is the WPF adaptation of the Presentation Model pattern first documented by Martin Fowler. In this session we will build an app that shows how the MVVM pattern is utilized for building SOLID WPF applications that are also testable.
