Across WF...? TONS! Specific to Services SendMessage / ReceiveMessage activities replace Send/Receive activities Better integration with WCF capabilities Easier correlation for calls between workflows Agenda SOA Overview WF Service Capabilities Exposing WF Workflows as Services Consuming Services from Workflows Workflow 4.0 Coming Changes Workflows in the Cloud Workflows in the Cloud Set of new activities for integrating with Cloud Services Run workflows in the cloud Scalable, robust, reliable infrastructure for running workflows Workflows in the Cloud Child Workflow Step 1 Step 2 Parent Workflow Start Process Client App Invoke Sub-Process Aggregate Results Notify Client Summary WF fits nicely into the SOA picture with .NET 3.5 and 4.0 capabilities WF fits nicely into the future of cloud computing Consider WF for front end service coordination (orchestration) Consider WF for service processing implementation Can be used for workflow-workflow coordination Resources IDesign WF Master Class Developing Applications with Windows Workflow Foundation, Brian Noyes, LiveLesson training DVD http://www.softinsight.com/LiveLesson Essential Windows Communication Foundation (WCF): For .NET Framework 3.5, Resnick, Crane, Bowen, Addison Wesley Pro WF, Bruce Bukovics, Apress Essential Windows Workflow Foundation, Dharma Shukla and Bob Schmidt, Addison Wesley, 2006 http://www.awprofessional.com/bookstore/product.asp?isbn=0321399838&rl=1 E-mail: [email protected] Blog: http://briannoyes.net 10 pairs of MP3 sunglasses to be won Complete a session evaluation and enter to win! © 2009 Microsoft Corporation.
