Simple Data Entry form 2. Master-detail Data Entry form 3. Data Entry form implemented by stored procedure on SQL server ( every day life for many LOB applications) 4. something like datagrid with dynamic columns in runtime ( yes, that 's right !) 5. ability to do undo/redo - save batch of data from easy to hard:

Having a View with partials/regions each datatemplated with a ViewModel holding a business model , CRUD operations are not possible because the regions need data from each other like SelectedCustomerViewModel,SelectedOrderViewModel etc... but there is only DataContext for all those viewmodels (main and the regions) and I do not think we should use the Mediator pattern to shoot around the needed data between those related regions aka viewmodels. So if you can show complex master-detail count in as your most grateful customer :) I am dealing with Master-Detail scenario and MVVM for 2 months now.

For example: When UX team designs views in the expression blend, they don't need to interact with real models. How to use seperate models in design mode,debug mode and release mode would be helpful. I think giving Silverlight or WPF samples would add lot of benefit. It would be helpful if you discuss how seperation of views from models would help different teams.

So I would expect Database access, a datagrid and CRUD for complex ( at least parent-child ) data. Error handling. Dialogue boxes, printing and some asynchronous process handling. A book is an opportunity to start with the basics and explain them then cover both how you do the routine and handle the exceptions. On the web there are examples but they are mainly trivial. Those few that are more complex are badly explained. If you're a genius who has worked in MVVM for years I suspect it's difficult to work out what bits the rest of us need explaining.
