The best technical session I've attended all week.... hands down.  Finally I was shown some real details about the possibilities of the technology and how I can begin using them to make myself more productive right now.

The session was focused on utilizing the new capabilities of WPF from a data binding point of view.  The presenter spent the first half of the demonstration showing off all the capabilities while prototyping in XamlPad (included in the latest SDK's), and I must say I was very impressed.  Quick prototyping and styling looks like a breeze, data binding straight forward and simple... all in a light weight utility.

The demonstrations bound data from simple object model models, and I was glad to see that I didn't have to see another sample of data bound via a datatable.... real objects.  Separation of your objects and visualization is a breeze with the DataTemplating features.

List bindings, and synchronized collection viewing over multiple controls... very sweet... all the messy event firing, event handling, and ui toggling code can almost be completely eliminated!  You have to see the demo.  Built in support for sorting, grouping, and filter on collection views... I like it.

Two way data binding (make sure you are implementing the INotifyPropertyChanged Interface on your objects) is yet another very nice feature.

There was much more that I'm sure I've missed.  If you are interested in, playing around with, or are already using WPF... you have to watch the video from this session.
