Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF)

Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) is a Microsoft technology for building visually rich and interactive desktop applications on Windows. It allows developers to create interfaces with sophisticated graphics, animations, and layouts using a declarative language called XAML. WPF separates the design (how the app looks) from the functionality (how it works), making it easier to develop, update, and maintain applications. It leverages hardware acceleration to provide smooth visuals and supports various media types such as images, videos, and vector graphics. Overall, WPF enables the creation of modern, attractive, and user-friendly Windows desktop applications.
