Virtually all software today supports a discrete series of business steps known as a workflow. Until now, applications needed to implement their own workflow management framework. With Windows Workflow Foundation, one of the pillars of the .NET Framework 3.0, you get a programming model, engine and toolkit for quickly building workflow-enabled applications on Windows.
In this session, we’ll introduce you to concepts including activities, business rules, control flow, state management, and more. You’ll see how to model both human and system workflow and we’ll explore the architecture of Windows Workflow Foundation, including how to design, build and debug workflows. At the end of this session, you’ll know how to effectively use workflows in everyday applications.
This session will explore:
• Workflow concepts such as activities, business rules, control flow, and state management
• Human and system workflow models
• Architectural highlights of Windows Workflow Foundation
• How to design, build and debug workflows for everyday solutions
Russ wisely shelved dreams of rock and roll stardom in order to share his vast knowledge with developers nationwide. Given that he can’t sing or play an instrument, other than in Guitar Hero, we’re all very grateful. Russ has more than 25 years of software development. He’s the creator of the Russ' Tool Shed developer seminar series and has donned his trademark suspenders, hardhat and tool belt in presentations for over 75,000 developers at 1,700 events. Russ also has expertise in developing Visual Basic and Web-based solutions using Microsoft tools. Before joining Microsoft eleven years ago, Russ worked as a VB instructor, headed up a development department, and created several client/server applications and system software products. His specialties include development with VB.NET, XML Web services, ASP.NET, XNA, Silverlight, Development Tools and debugging. But make no mistake – Russ is not all brains. His big heart led him to establish Take a Swing at Cancer, Inc., a non-profit organization that holds softball and golf-based fundraisers to battle cancer. You have to know the code to get in the shed. KNOW THE CODE!
