Windows Workflow Foundation 4.0 Tutorials / Introductions [closed]

Answer 1

I've discovered recently myself that there's not a lot of online content available. Check out the Workflow Foundation 4 Resources and Community site on MSDN for some good articles and labs. Also, download the WF4 Samples. I've learned a lot from poking through these samples and trying things out locally.

As for the WHY of Workflow, you can read David Chappell's take here. I don't agree with some of what he claims (a bit too pie in the sky for me), but it's a good primer on the goals and rationale of WF.

Hope that helps!

Answer 2

Take a look at endpoint.tv on MSDN Channel 9. Plenty of good videos on WF and WCF 4.

Answer 3

I thought this intro was pretty good, using the new (to me) guidance feature in VS 2010

Hands On Lab for WF4 done by Ron Jacobs

Answer 4

Check out the Pro WF Windows Workflow in .Net 4 book by Bruce Bukovics. Great book imho, worth the price.

Answer 5

I have amassed quite a number of resources for learning WF 4:

• MSDN: Windows Workflow Foundation Tutorials - basically dive in all the scenarios you would see for developer WF application There are more info (via. MSDN blogs) but for starter, but I'm only allowed to post one link as a starter :( I think these should suffice :)
