C# WPF Desktop Application Development with EF Core

Want to build professional, data-driven desktop applications for Windows? Mastering modern desktop development requires combining a powerful UI framework with robust database integration. In this comprehensive text-based course, you will learn how to design and develop desktop applications using Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) and C#. You will master the Model-View-ViewModel (MVVM) pattern to keep your code clean and maintainable, while integrating SQL databases seamlessly using Entity Framework Core (EF Core) for modern data persistence. What you'll learn: - Understand the foundational architecture of WPF, XAML layout systems, and essential UI controls. - Implement the MVVM architectural pattern to cleanly separate your business logic from the user interface. - Configure Entity Framework Core to connect your application to SQL databases and manage data models. - Apply async and await patterns to keep your desktop interface responsive during database operations. - Build dynamic, data-bound user interfaces with custom styling and resource dictionaries. - Perform database migrations and execute CRUD operations reliably within a desktop environment. You will start with the essential building blocks of XAML and WPF control basics before moving into data binding and event handling. From there, you will transition to structuring your application with MVVM and linking it to a database using Entity Framework Core. This course is designed for learners who have a basic understanding of C# and want to transition into desktop application development. No prior experience with WPF, XAML, or databases is required. Start reading today to build your first database-driven desktop application.
