			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As <a title="Simon Segals Blog" href="http://www.simonsegal.net/blog" target="_blank">Simon</a> mentioned in his last post he felt that it was time to get started on <a href="http://www.simonsegal.net/blog/2008/08/01/the-time-feels-right-its-time-to-learn-wpf/" target="_blank">learning WPF</a>, I have decided to join him on the quest. So as of today I will be assisting him in developing the Point Case Estimation application as an XBAP. </p>
<p>Having used XAML in my last project I am sure that seeing the following will not freak me out too much</p>

<p>Can anyone actually tell me what “<em><font color="#ff0000" size="1"><strong>F1 M 256,32L 352,32L 416,192L 352,352L 256,352L 192,192L 256,32 Z</strong></font></em> “ actually means without a some sort of reference guide? Maybe <a href="http://www.sellsbrothers.com/" target="_blank">Chris Sells</a> might be able to help me much like he did with <a href="http://www.hanselman.com/blog/LearningWPFWithBabySmashAndBackToBasicsMakingAssumptionsAndWhenToTurnToBooks.aspx" target="_blank">Scott Hanselman</a></p>
<p>I guess that is the ultimate challenge. </p>
