Workflow Foundation: Selling it to your manager and then using it in anger
Sun 16 Sep 2007
This month’s QMSDNUG meeting looks at Workflow Foundation.
One impression of the .NET 3 uptake is that Windows Workflow puzzles a lot of people. They are not quite sure about how it can apply to them. Microsoft has focused on the “sexy” features of workflow such as “driving ASP.NET web site navigation” or the “Designer Rehosting capablities”. Developers are asking “How does it apply to me?”
First-up, Michal Postula from Citect will explain how Workflow can help developers in their day to day application development. He will show how this powerful architectural tool can reduce code coupling and increase development agility. Specifically he will show how WF can apply to small and day-to-day projects.
Then, Joseph Plant will go into more detail focusing on the Pitfalls of Windows Workflow. Joe will use demonstrations and code samples to hilight the things to watch out for in the current release of WF.
