With apologies to Wille Nelson, I will be on the road again for INETA. Monday night will be a brand new area and talk for me on WF. With the increasing use of it in my architecture for the next phase at work, I have developed quite a love affair with WF.

Introduction to Windows Workflow Foundation - Presented By Sam Gentile

Until recently, Windows developers who wished to use Workflow in
their applications were forced to look at a variety of "big gun" solutions
such as BizTalk Server and K2 among others. Windows Workflow (WF) is part of
the recently released Microsoft .NET Framework 3.0. WF provides one common
workflow foundation for all of Windows. In this talk, Sam will provide an
introduction to Windows Workflow showing how the Runtime works in running
Activities that you can create yourself. In addition, Sam will cover using
the Graphical Designer to edit Workflows and how to host the Designer in
your own applications.
