## What it is
A curated awesome-list of WPF (Windows Presentation Foundation) resources, including UI control suites, themes, libraries, tutorials, books, and sample apps. It serves as a discovery index for .NET desktop developers building Windows applications.

## Use cases
- find WPF UI control libraries for a desktop app
- discover free WPF themes and toolkits
- learn WPF with tutorials and courses
- find sample WPF applications to study
- compare paid vs open-source WPF control suites
- find resources for migrating WPF apps to .NET 8

## When to choose
- you are starting or maintaining a WPF desktop application on .NET
- you want a curated index of WPF controls, themes, and learning material
- you need to evaluate commercial and open-source WPF UI toolkits

## When to avoid
- you are building cross-platform GUIs with Avalonia, MAUI, or web technologies
- you need a library to install rather than a list of links
- you target WinForms, UWP, or WinUI instead of WPF

## Facets
- artifact type: learning-resource
- maturity: active
- function: ui-components, developer-tools
- domain: awesome-lists, desktop-applications, windows, cross-platform
