To create WPF applications, you should get the Windows Desktop edition, which can be downloaded for free from this website. The latest version, as of writing this text, is Microsoft Visual Studio Express 2012. This version contains less functionality than the real Visual Studio, but it has everything that you need to get started learning WPF and make real applications. NET and WPF, so they have created a free version of Visual Studio, called Visual Studio Express. Luckily, Microsoft has decided to make it easy and absolutely free for everyone to get started with. NET/WPF IDE is Visual Studio, which costs a lot quite a bit of money though. However, most developers prefer to use an IDE (Integrated Development Environment), since it makes everything, from writing code to designing the interface and compiling it all so much easier. All of it can be edited in any text editor, even Notepad included in Windows, and then compiled from the command line.
WPF is, as already described, a combination of XAML (markup) and C#/VB.NET/any other.
