Caveat - I do LOB work and have limited skills or interest in building fancy UIs

I start of with a pencil and paper, rough out the shape of the view I want, identify the <grid>s I will need and then start coding. Until I have the basic shapes and controls laid out I don't even think about styles, resources or anything but where the controls are going to live.

You may recognise this style, break it down to small, easily understood pieces and start from there.

I have never bothered to learn blend I an more than happy with the VS display. A WPF view can be extremely complicated, as can a web page, part of the job.

You must remember you are looking at a finished view in the book, it may have taken the author a couple of hours to build and that will not include the pre built resources and styles he has pulled in.

Having been dipped in the sh*t pile of the current HTTP/CSS/JS stack I have to say WPF is AWESOME!
Never underestimate the power of human stupidity
