I sorted this comment section by 'Newest' out of curiosity, and to my surprise you're still responding to new comments you're getting. That's amazing dude! What a helpful guy.
-
You are an amazing teacher. You explain the concepts with incredible clarity. Excellent content!
-
I've watched a ton of videos on XAML and various programming languages and it is very rare that anyone will go into detail on what they are doing. Most people will just program something real quick and you are just along for the ride leaving you feeling lost at the end. They don't explain everything they write like you do. I don't have that lost feeling when I watch your videos. Very well done!

I learned more from this single video than a semester in college. Thank you so much!!!!!!
-
Thank you so much for this tutorial. This is going to sound goofy, but I had it in my 'sleep learning' playlist and I was able to grasp data binding the next day after being confused about it for MONTHS. Your other C# videos have been wonderful, too. Some of the best free learning content I've ever heard is on this channel. <3
-
Fantastic tutorial! I've done a couple of projects in WPF before by self teaching myself but this is amazing information that I really haven't seen anywhere else! You also explain and clarify everything in a way that anyone can watch. Thank you for making this video!
-
Just want to say thank you for all the content. I've watched so much IAmTimCorey over the last few weeks that I feel like I know you. Even the stuff that covers topics that I already understand has been time well spent. It's all full of seasoned developer nuggets.

I am currently making an application in WPF, it's my first project in WPF. Funny that this video came along right when I needed it.
-
This is perfect! I've just been looking for sources for digging into WPF, and was looking for tutorials from you - like literally just a few hours ago! It's like you read my mind, and decided "Yeah, here you go" :-) Thanks, Jakob
-
This video was coming at the right time. Thanks Tim for such a great basic tutorial. I'm looking forward to see more of these tuts.
-
Wow! I'm so glad I found your channel. You cover everything I need and more! Keep up the great work Tim.
-
This is a great tutorial! You get straight to the point and explain things as simply as possible, making everything so easy to understand. Keep up the good work!
-
Great video Tim. I wish more tutors took this kind of pace to explain concepts.
-
You're a good instructor. I've not had people actually _pausing_ like you to do let information settle in, its calming, and an important part of being a teacher. To used to having a million concepts thrown at me at once, thanks for giving those things the moment of silence to let your students process them.
-
This is the second video by you that I am watching and I am amazed by the effort you take to keep things simple and understandable. I subscribed immediately after watching your first video - Desktop UI Showdown and it kind of led me to this one. Thank you.
-
I'm glad I picked your video here to get a proper overview of what I was looking for. Even though I knew many things already, I never felt the urge to skip parts which I usually always do in that case. The amount of information and the pace were just perfect to easily follow what's going on without getting monotonous or repetitive. Now I'm just happy seeing all those other videos on your channel waiting to be watched.
-
every second is precious for me. wonderful - not only this video but your whole channel <3

Hello, Tim! Greetings from Russia :) Thank you very much for your work, i found all the C# video really useful. This is my first expierence in WPF, and due to you XAML seems quite simple and friendly. Guess, that's not my last WPF application)
-
You are a blessing! I have followed paid courses, and no one explains c# applications as well as you do. Thank you so much!

First time to watch Tim Corey. Very impressed. He has a talent for making things look easy. Highly recommended.
