Product Description

Product Description
Windows Workflow Foundation is a ground-breaking addition to the core of the .NET Framework that allows you to orchestrate human and system interactions as a series of workflows that can be easily mapped, analyzed, adjusted, and implemented. As business problems become more complex, the need for a workflow-based solution has never been more evident. WF provides a simple and consistent way to model and implement complex problems. As a developer, you focus on developing the business logic for individual workflow tasks. The runtime handles the execution of those tasks after they have been composed into a workflow. Pro WF: Windows Workflow in .NET 3.0 provides you with the skills you need to incorporate WF in your applications. This book gets you up to speed with Windows Workflow Foundation quickly and comprehensively. The practical aspects of using WF are covered in a lively tutorial style with each workflow concept illustrated in C#. This book also includes detailed coverage of how to customize your workflows and access them in a variety of ways and situations so you can maximize the advantages of this technology.

About the Author
Bruce Bukovics has been a working developer for over 25 years.
During this time, he has designed and developed applications in such widely
varying areas as banking, corporate finance, credit card processing,
payroll processing, and retail automation.

He has first-hand developer experience with C, C++, Delphi, VB, C#, and
Java, and he rode the waves of technology as they drifted from mainframe to
client/server to n-Tier, from COM to COM+, and from Web Services to .NET
Remoting and beyond.

He considers himself a pragmatic programmer. He doesn't stand on formality
and doesn't do things just because they have always been done that way.
He's willing to look at alternate or unorthodox solutions to a problem if
that's what it takes.

He is currently employed at Radiant Systems, Inc., in Alpharetta, Georgia,
as a lead developer and architect in the centralized development group.

5.0 out of 5 stars Clear and Comprehensive, 5 Jul 2007
By NewWorldMan (Milton Keynes, UK) - See all my reviews
I bought this book a couple of months ago and was pleasantly surprised by how well-written and accessible it is. It manages to be both comprehensive and clearly explained, which is not always an easy thing to do. Also the fact that it's packed with runnable examples helps. Often when one finds tech samples online they don't run or else require some trial and error to get them to run! Highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars Comprehensive and Concise, 14 Jun 2007
After going through four other books on Windows Workflow Foundation I came upon this. The book is current and quite substantial. Unlike some of the other books that provide an introduction to selected topics, this covers most or all of the topics you would ever be interested in, in considerable depth, and with useful and comprehensive examples. It's the only WF book you will need.

4.0 out of 5 stars Nicely written book that covers the subject well, 23 April 2007
By Mr. M. Randall (Wakefield, UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
This book covers the subject area quite well and is up to date with the release version (unlike previous books that tended to suffer from the fact that they are based on the Beta versions of WF).

Bruce has a conversation writing style that I found to be quite easy to read. He ensures that all code is listed in the books and is available for free download. The examples are easy to follow, comprehensive and useful.

This book is a good entry point into the subject - although you should be aware that you are required to have a good understanding of C# and the .Net framework in general.

One minor gripe is that Apress charge an extra $[...] in order to download the electronic copy of the book. This seems a little steep as you've already paid for the paper version (and they quiz you with page/word questions to ensure you have it). Other Apress books have been free to download the electronic version in the past, so I don't know why they've changed their policy now - other than to earn extra revenue, of course!
