Recent WF Content Summary

I've been having some fun playing around with Visual Studio 2008 and the .NET Framework 3.5, and wanted to summarize some of the content I've put up on channel9 and other places.

Samples

The Conversation Sample remixed -- if there is one sample in the SDK to help you understand what is going on with context passing and duplex messaging, this is the sample that helped me learn it. I had this sample reworked a little bit so that you don't have 5 console windows open.
Pageflow sample 1, live hosted -- watch this as pageflow is hosted "live" in the cloud. This lets you interact with a pageflow as well as dive into the code using some tools my team has built.
Pageflow sample 2, live hosted as above -- this is the sample that shows how we can leverage the navigator workflow type to be in multiple paths at the same time (a parallel state machine almost).

Screencasts

Intro demo -- a 10 minute walk through of building Workflow Services
0 to Workflow Service in 60 seconds -- a very quick tools walkthrough
Dynamically creating service contracts using Workflow Services in Net 3.5 -- the way to dynamically create a contract using a workflow first approach to building it.
BizTalk Server 2006 Extensions for WF -- A screencast from Jon Flanders walking through the work that has been done to host WF inside BizTalk.
Building WCF Services with WF -- A screen recording with the PM responsible for the WF-WCF integration
Introduction to the Windows Workflow Foundation Pageflow Sample -- A screen recording with the dev responsible for building pageflow.

Channel9 Videos

Programming JSON with WCF in .NET Framework 3.5 -- an interview with a Dev and PM from the WCF team talking about how and why talking JSON over WCF is interesting.
WF and WCF Integration In .NET Framework 3.5 -- meet the team that brought us the Workflow Service features in .NET 3.5

In the upcoming months, we've got more samples and content coming out about these features. If you've got questions, keep 'em coming.

Two Cool Technologies, One Great Solution

My peer, David, has a great screencast posted on Channel9 that shows off a solution from FullArmor that incorporates WF and PowerShell and one really cool looking designer.

On my list of cool things to check out when I have free time (currently June 2015) is PowerShell. It's a great tool for devs to make their apps much more managable, by both devs and our dear friends, the IT Pro. David has built some samples that build right on top of things to return collections of data in order to PowerShell enable them.
