Thank you to everyone for helping the channel reach 10, 000 subscribers! To celebrate, this week's video is just a bit longer than usual 😄 🎉

I have never posted a comment on YouTube but this video has really helped me out so much that I wanted to say thank you for taking the time to produce it. I still have a long way to go building my own competency and will be watching this on repeat until all of the concepts sink in. Thanks once again. Now let’s have a look at some of your other videos.

[jennibgmailcom]

Thanks Sean. I like the underscore in fields. Good visual reminder between the public and private variables.

[RupOase]

Gem right here! This comes in such a perfect timing for one of the things that I'm training for!

[CRBarchager]

This is by far the best turorial on WPF coding I've ever seen. Good presentation, explination and knowledge on WPF and it's querks. Thank you!

[Dichill]

Exactly what I needed!!! Great content as always

[MegaBasti]

Holy coder! I just watched how u set up that interface. I know its just some "simple stuff" but the amount of knowledge you have about all the details is astonishing - or your video editing skills are impressiv as well :D. I mean you simply translate your talking to coding without hesitation.

Anyway just wanted to say thank you for giving a much needed step by step MVVM Tut. Keep it up

[ahmadkelany]

The best WPF content creator strikes again 😁😁

Thanks for the amazing channel and the amazing video 💐💐

Hi Sean! Neil Singleton here! Lol. Finding this extremely good and clear. I'm looking to change jobs and focus on WPF, which I did touch on a few years ago. Thanks bro. 😉

[matteobarbieri]

I've folloed your video step by step. It took me probably more that 8 hours. It is very complete and rich of interesting cues. Very good job. Thanks

[sergeys]

Very cool lessons on WPF! Keep it up please! There are few good wpf tutorials on the internet

[omostan]

Awesome! Thank you so much for your time and energy. I learned a lot from it and will definitely try these techniques in other applications.

[charlesroscoe]

THE best WPF DeepDive Video! Others take up to 4h but never go in depth as you. Please keep it up! Maybe evaluate some WPF Nuget Packages.

[natlinux]

very great usefull stuff. that´s already what i need. thank you so much 💚

[BloodHaZaRd]

That's Great 4 hours of pure new things to learn :D u made my day

[cesarbravo]

Thank you for sharing your great videos, there are full all good information, it is awesome!!

[johnnyserup]

Fantastic, really detailed and nicely done

[webdevfs]

I'm just starting this video, Sean you rock! I'm planning to build an engineering app in WPF for my company. Thank you!

[Trunkss]

Hey Singleton, any chance you could make an application that uses a calendar? Where you can add some kind of events and maybe even an option for sorting depending on the type of the event that would produce some kind of a list?

[brandonberisford]

I've been on a Hiatus from the defense/aerospace company I previously worked at (which did desktop/WPF applications for military aircraft), too do some web development, both frontend and backend. I'm going back too the aerospace company though, so this has been an amazing refresher on WPF, Styling, MVVM etc. I didn't forget it all, but after working in Typescript and react for the past 10 months I def needed this. Thanks Sean!
