Abstract

This one hour Introduction on building Workflow solutions will concentrate on the “How to” (demonstration) of building Workflow into .NET solutions, with a little bit of “What is” (PowerPoint) at the beginning.  We will spend the bulk of the time building a demonstration application that takes you from the basics of building a simple (albeit more complex than Hello World) and slowly add additional Workflow functionality, ending with a basic Document Processing Workflow example.

Who Should Attend

Architects, Developers, and who would like to get insight and a head-start on how to build workflow into their applications.

What you will learn

- A brief background as to what Windows Workflow is, how it fits into .NET 3.0 and how it differs from BizTalk

- How to increase developer productivity with Workflow

- How to pass “work” into the Workflow

- Building custom Workflow Activities (conceptualizing Business Logic into Workflow Code)

- Communicating with your workflow

Note : This will be a developer-centric talk, with code and Workflow design for the bulk of the talk (versus PowerPoint Overview) and is meant for a Developer audience.  I will be doing a series of webcasts next month that will give more of an “Overview” for Managers.
