WPF for Silverlight folks

Question

For the last couple of years I have worked with Silverlight (from version 2 to 4) and never seriously used WPF. Are there any quick tours/links/tutorials that explains and introduces WPF: differences to Silverlight and its unique features?

A possible duplicate of WPF vs Silverlight?

Anyway, it won't be hard, as WPF introduces a greater feature set, and most are MORE extensive than SL. It's a like bit more features built ON TOP of SL, so your existing skills will definitely do. (I did the other way around, from WPF to Silverlight - for some web apps, and I confirm that it is harder)

Thanks. That question is about two years old and some of the answers are outdated, but it is still a great link! – VoodooChild Jul 20 '11 at 01:51
