Document Workflow in MOSS 2007

Kevin Dean — Fri, 12 Oct 2007 21:12:00 GMT

I ran across this info and thought it would be of interest -

For those of you who are interested in a free training resource, Robert Shelton just published: SharePoint Document Workflow for Developers and it's available for free download from his blog www.sheltonblog.com (Top Left Link). The series is focused on empowering Visual Studio Developers with the ability to build custom document workflows using ASP.NET Forms on the MOSS 2007 platform.

The series promotes the advanced features of Visual Studio and MOSS 2007, and is filled with:

- Step-by-step “How-to” examples

- Source code for each workshop

- Examples of how to send a Task to a user from MOSS 2007

- References to books, blogs, websites that might be helpful

Robert wrote the workshops after trying to figure out how to build Custom Workflow Forms in ASP.NET and was not able to find enough resources on the web or in the current set of books on the market. If he had this problem, then you may as well.

SharePoint Resource Guide

Take a look at the attached file, which contains a wealth of resources for Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 !

The premise behind the attached SharePoint Resource Guide is that almost everything in the booklet is the result of an education customer asking for more information. Many people on the education team contributed to this guide and Larry Short pulled it together.

Thanks!
