Is there any book or links that I can read some tutorial about the WPF ribbon control. I need to get some basics . Also can any one recommend good book in WPF or a starter kit.
Thanks.
For learning the WPF Ribbon
CodePlex project with the WPF Ribbon Preview from MS

WPF Book Recommendations
Take a look at the What WPF books would you recommend? thread. Though, the thread is over a year old, the books there are still highly recommended.
Learning WPF
Finally, take a look at this post on learning WPF: MVVM: Tutorial from start to finish
This looks fairly comprehensive. It uses Expression Blend 2 to create the ribbon, but if you have 3 then I would have thought it would translate fairly readily.
But a search for "wpf ribbon control tutorial" should turn up quite a few. Vary your search terms if non are exactly what you're looking for.

I'm wondering to replace our WinForms technology to WPF.
Is WPF mature enough to migrate to?
What are the migration risks?
Is it tweaked and robust enough? Isn't there any plan to deprecate WPF like SilverLight?
I'm wondering to replace our WinForms technology to WPF. Is WPF mature
enough to migrate to?
Yes.
What are the migration risks?
Time and training to understand SOLID implementations of MVVM.
Is it tweaked and robust enough? Isn't there any plan to deprecate WPF
like SilverLight?
WPF is "depricated" in Windows 8... but all of the features are still there - it's hard to explain...
Metro Apps will still use XAML and DataBinding to describe the UI and interraction with the View Model. Applications can still be written in C#, and there is a .net framework dedicated to it (4.5). But instead of compiling to CLR - it compiles into Native Code.
So, while WPF is technically depricating, what we are left with (Metro) walks, talks, and otherwise behaves just like a WPF development effort.
That said, WPF apps can run on the "Classic Desktop" of a Windows 8 computer, and the .net framework 4.0 is still current technology.

So I've been developing in WPF on and off for a little while, and so far labored at making my controls look and behave sleek and intuitively from scratch. The only control suite I've checked out were Infragistics.
What are some cool/sleek/useful/time saving WPF controls you've come across of?
Very nice and free set of controls for displaying graphs: DynamicDataDisplay. Two major flaws - lack of documentation and project seems to be abandoned. But being compared to other libraries I've tried it is the most perfectly constructed.
We`re using the Telerik RadControls! Really good quality, good documentation, good forum support and really cool look and feel.

Prism
Cinch
MVVM Light
From the above which one you people will suggest?. Is there any good framework available which is more flexible when compare to this?. (Right now i am concentrating on WPF projects and later i will move to Silverlight). At that stage will it easy to convert from one framework to another or we have to do the same thing from the scratch?
You have to try them out yourself to make an informed decision. I personally like MVVM Light and it does have Silverlight support. Obviously you will also be interested in the framework staying around / gaining mind/market share so your investment (in time and research) won't go away.
This podcast might be interesting with you on the topic:
Hanselminutes Podcast 241 - The MVVM Pattern with Laurent Bugnion
They are covering MVVM fundamentals and two specific frameworks - MVVM Light and Caliburn, another MVVM framework that is not on your list yet.
MVVM is the pattern. Prism, MVVM Light and Cinch aren't patterns, they're frameworks that help you to implement the MVVM pattern.
I've experience MVVM Light and it's fine for what I need but I believe Prism is more feature rich but requires more work to implement?
my view is keep it simple, and just use the WPF teams MVVM toolkit

Is there is any need to pass existing (or developing) projects from WinForms to WPF?
or even Silverlight?
If the project is OK, worth it to be switched in WPF? Can Silverlight replace WPF in the future?
I am asking because there a rumors that Microsoft will abandon WinForm (maintenance and support) for WPF and Silverlight. I believe Winforms will be supported as longer Windows will be?!...
Will the development of Winforms obsolete in a lot of years?
Microsoft has certainly never said that, and there are new Winforms features in VS2010.
Consider the fact that their C++ UI technology from 1992, MFC, continues to be shipped, supported and extended with every version of VS.

I am very new to WPF and I am interested in learning it. I have gone through some tutorials, but I am looking for a website or book containing projects/assignments along with solutions so that you can code and learn. As I work through a project, I'd like to be able to refer to a solution in case I get stuck somewhere.
Can someone please share any links/material if you have which can give me some WPF Projects/assignments to work on along with solution.
Thanks.
I would search StackOverflow ... as there is already a lot of good stuff on this topic.
In particular, check out: WPF Sample Applications
But here are some additional links to get you started in WPF:
What are the best resources for learning WPF?
What did you find hardest to understand when learning WPF?
How to begin WPF development?
What WPF books would you recommend?
What applications could I study to understand DataModel-View-ViewModel?
Good luck!
I found http://www.drwpf.com/blog/ very helpful.
I think nobody has referred to the WPF Boot camp, it's 3 days free training by the experts and it was really helpful.
If you want to directly download all videos try this
You should take a look at MVVM pattern: NDC2009 MVVM talk is really good.
I've read a few WPF books. This one has been my favorite:
Pro WPF in C# 2008
I would also recommend this one:
WPF in Action with Visual Studio 2008
Sounds like you are looking for some hands-on labs. Check these out:
