In 2009 when I was a student in Southern Cross University of Australia (SCU), I was supposed to do a project as my final project. It was quite a while that I was heard about Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) and I was in love with that. So I thought it would be great if I create a WPF application as my final project. So I decided to write an application to learn WPF in action and this project came to existence. After that, when I graduated from SCU I decided to make a video demo of the app in action and put that on the Youtube. 

 

After putting this video on Youtube, I received many feedback and requests from students in academia to share the code with them. They were interested in how I had created this app using WPF technology. I hadn't decided to share the code in public mostly because it was my first try on WPF and I knew that it is not well developed to be considered a guide for new learners. In fact, I was a newbie in WPF and I didn't want to put others in a wrong direction. Therefore, when I was receiving such requests I was forwarding them to the open source Family.Show application from Verrtigo and Pro WPF in C# book by Matthew MacDonald that were among my best resources in learning WPF.

It's almost 3 years passed now from when I did this project but I still receive such requests and feedback from academia students. To be honest, I am tired of replying such insistent student who ask for the code even though I reveal this fact with them. Therefore I've decided to share the source code of the app with everyone who is interested by the subject as is.

But I highly emphasize that this is a project that was done by a WPF newbie, hence you should consider that there might be better ways to do the things that were done in this application in terms of coding, designing and etc. In fact, If I'd wanted to create this application now, I would do that differently and in a more standard way.

Anyway, here is the whole thing you need to know about this project.
