I am a .NET developer at heart but I was really nervous with the introduction of .NET 3.0 and Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF or as it was known as Avalon) as this changed the whole landscape for creating UI rich applications.

But being the glutton for learning that I am I installed all the required bits and set about scavenging the blogs for any existing resources that might be out there for the WPF newbie. After getting my resource links all set up and some reading done I decided on a learning app to develop my WPF skills with; and as such Pulse came into being – well at least on my system anyway for now.

Pulse is going to be an MP3 file name cleaner, tag editor and maybe a few other things which I am still thinking about. Through these beginning steps I have really fallen for the ability of what WPF can do to create a really rich (cool) user interface and how easy it really is once you get your head wrapped around how it is done.This is still a project in the works but wanted to show just how cool WPF can be to work with.
