WPF

Its been little over 6 months that I am attempting to teach myself WPF. 


I am liking many things about WPF but still bit unsure about XAML. Don't get me wrong I am not intimidated by learning a new format or a new paradigm.  I learnt windows programming by hand coding .RC files so I am all for XAML coding.


What I am worried about is Microsoft's penchant for abandoning technology with lesser adoption or worse introduciong a drastically redesigned version.  I hope I would not be left high and dry after investing my time and energy into this.


I have jumped straight into 3d WPF instead of Windows GUI. Whether this is a good idea only time will tell.


Meanwhile if anyone has any recommendations of either books or WPF podcast do let me know.


At the moment I am wiring myself strongly with codeplex, several WPF books and some excellent 3d samples out there.
