Next Gig 8/12 - Workflow Foundation
Workflow Foundation (WF) is one of the pilars of .NET 3. If you think WF is an end
user tool then you’re wrong. It is a framework targeted at software developers that
want to embed workflow into their custom applications. This session will explore
the WF basics and focus on implementing State Machine Workflows, how to use the
workflow runtime and where Windows Communication Foundation fits in the whole picture.
Mark Blomsma is a software architect, author, speaker and instructor for
Develop-One. He also co-organizes the Maine
Developer Network, which holds quarterly meetings in Augusta.
Register for this event now. And please register
early if you are coming, so we know how much pizza to order.

on the right side of College Circle. When you come to College Circle, turn
