eek! Thank you for joining us last week for Developing Service Oriented applications with Visual Studio 2008, Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) and Windows Workflow Foundation (WF). We'll have the recording up soon if you missed it (and if I flubbed the recording I'll do it again - only fitting).

The presentation is up on SkyDrive (let me know if your company blocks SkyDrive).

The demos? Mostly borrowed from the Visual Studio Training Kit - grab it!

1. I showed the experience in Visual Studio 2008 for service oriented developers including the new integrated templates for WCF and WF, the tools for WCF development like the WCF Test Client, etc.

2. Windows Workflow Foundation (WF) Development - for this I used the following samples from the Training Kit (directories are relative to the location you install the training kit into).

a. Demos\12 - ConnectedApplication\Demo\ExpenseReporting - to showcase WF capabilities.

b. Demos\03 - WF\2 - Durable Services\Durable Services Demo - to showcase the advanced workflow techniques.

3. WCF Syndication Services using the PictureSyndication demo located in Demos\14 - WCF - Syndication Services\PictureSyndication. Shows RESTful design and syndicating data. It is this project that has a nice demo of Unit Testing in Visual Studio.

P.S. And yes, I do get paid for the number of words in the title of my presentations :)
