“Effectively using .NET Windows Workflow
Foundation requires users to harness the Visual Studio workflow design
tools. As a result, the process of developing workflow applications is
a very interactive experience lending itself well to video instruction
of a LiveLesson instead of printed book chapters,”
said author Brian Noyes. “In this
LiveLesson, I’ll lead users through
acquiring the key knowledge they need for developing applications with
WF and will show them through detailed demonstrations how to employ
that knowledge.”
