Windows Workflow Foundation (WF) is a groundbreaking 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 into 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.

He's willing to look at alternate or unorthodox solutions to a problem if that's what it takes. He is employed at Radiant Systems, Inc., in Alpharetta, Georgia, as a lead developer and architect in the centralized development group.

Reviews for Pro WF: Windows Workflow in .NET 3.0

[This book] offers an important and impressive comparison between the innovative economic policies of the Kennedy administration and the controversial experiments of the Reagan administration. Professor Karier does a superb job of presenting the central ideas of Keynesians, monetarists, supply-siders, and free-floaters and then tracing their successes and failures during the decades of the 1960s and 1980s. This is a valuable book for anyone trying to understand the economy and the role of economic experiments. In addition, it will provide an excellent supplement for any undergraduate course in macroeconomics. -Clair Brown Professor of Economics and Director, Institute of Industrial Relations University of California, Berkeley
