.NET/WPF/SQL/Web Technical book recommendations
-
Training requirement. One option is to read a book.
Related to job areas listed in title.
I have two technical areas, a WPF client application, a web application using MFC/Knockout and older tech.
Also of interest is a good book about client/server models, since the CEO's right hand man has shown interest in moving to a thin client model.
Clean Code

I used it when I had to learn MVC 5. Also touches briefly on AngularJS but the other parts should cover most things a ASP .NET MVC 5 dev would likely need to know.
Thoroughly recommended.
PS: This book feels outdated if you consider ASP .NET Core is in the picture but I'm assuming companies are not gonna move to it anytime soon from what I've seen.

You may not find a good book on knockout, since its javascript tech that was only in fashion for about a year, but is actually pretty good to work with; their website makes pretty good documentation though, IIRC.
As for books about WPF, those probably exist; I mean, the old editions of Head First C# taught you WPF, and it's stable enough that a book makes sense. The problem is that people have drastically different ideas on what makes a good XAML app, with some going full PRISM overkill. Maybe you could find a book dealing with MVVMLight? That thing seemed less monstrous than most...
But mostly, your best criteria are going to be MVVM and simplicity - since you've crossed out clean code, I assume that book is a given, which eliminates most WPF books for being full of overcomplication.
