Windows Workflow Foundation (WF) is a revolutionary part of the .NET 4
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
workflow-based solutions 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 4 provides you with the skills you
need to incorporate WF in your applications, using a lively tutorial
style with each example illustrated in C#. This book gets you up to
speed with WF 4 quickly and comprehensively. Learn about WF 4's new
designer, it's updated programming paradigm, and the completely new set
of activities that can enable and extend your workflows. 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.
