Building Desktop Applications Using the ArcGIS Runtime SDK for WPF

This course teaches how to get started using the new ArcGIS Runtime development environment to create lightweight applications that feature rich, interactive maps and tasks. You will learn the ArcGIS Runtime architecture and supported functionality, then apply that knowledge to build an application that allows desktop users to work with local and online geographic data and services. Licensing considerations and best practices for application deployment are covered.
