Thanks for that!

Me and a collegue are going to give a course in WPF at our company, we can use this!

Hey, thanks! Books always beat online tutorials for learning new stuff, IMHO, but it's a big step to buy an expensive book on the whim of hopefully finding it interesting enough to pursue. Free e-books are the perfect alternative.

Also: Foundation of Programming e-book

If you need a datagrid for Silverlight check out Scott Morrisons blog. DevExpress already have a beautiful little Silverlight Datagrid that is free as well.

Ooh, thanks for the link, I hadn't spotted that one.
I'm going to send copies to all our developers (who don't use Unit Tests and haven't seen NHibernate until recently).

Nice! I didn't know about that Petzold one.

I just put the link to that page on the Wiki's front page, by the way. If anyone thinks it'd be better off in a different section, feel free to move it.
