Cyprus .NET User Group – Event No. 5
Another Professional Developers Conference is behind us with the pile
of new and interesting technology glimpses, enough to take weeks of your
time for at least serious review of some of them. Beside the goliaths that
marked this year’s PDC like Vista, Avalon, Indigo, LINQ and others, an
announcement that seems to pick everybody’s attention is Windows Workflow
Foundation – the programming model, engine and set of tools for fast
building workflow enabled applications on Windows. This time we will have
the group president Evangelos Hadjichristodoulou speaking about why we
should think of WWF and what it can bring to us developers.
Introduction to Windows Workflow Foundation
(by Evangelos Hadjichristodoulou)
Windows Workflow Foundation is a broad and general-purpose workflow
framework, designed for extensibility from the ground up and at every
level.Windows Workflow Foundation -based solutions are made of
interconnected components backed up by Microsoft .NET code and running in
a host application. Just as you create your Web pages visually in a
tailor-made environment, you compose the steps of your specific workflow
in a visual designer, and add codebehind workflow components to implement
rules and define the business process.Windows Workflow Foundation provides
a workflow engine, a .NET-managed API, runtime services, and a visual
designer and debugger integrated with Microsoft Visual Studio 2005. You
can use Windows Workflow Foundation to build and execute workflows that
span both the client and server, and that can be executed within all types
of .NET applications.This session provides a smooth introduction to
Windows Workflow Foundation and shows how it works, through a few
demos.
An event will take place on Wednesday, October 5th at the
conference room of Miramare Bay Resort hotel in Limassol, with start at
19:00 (map here).
