Ann Arbor in September

I’ll be speaking at the Ann Arbor .Net Developers Group on September 12th. The topic will be Windows Workflow. I plan on doing a short basic overview of the technology (an adapted version of the talk I’ve given a few times already in various locations) and then I’ll go into detail on the Rules Engine of Workflow. Thanks to Darrell Hawley for extending the invitation. 

Trying out Live Writer

Since I started blogging several years ago I mainly used the web interface to do all my blogging. I then switched to writing almost everything in OneNote, then posting via the web interface with the HC&P (Human Cut & Paste) API. When Office 2007 came out I tried the OneNote 2007 blogging feature (via Word). It worked okay, but I didn’t like having to go through two programs to get the job done.

MAX has a Workflow class

It looks like MAX Technical Training is having an in-depth, 3 day class on Windows Workflow Foundation (WF). This is a great technology and if you are interested and learn well in a classroom environment this may be worth your time to look into. I’ll be giving a talk on WF for the Ann Arbor User Group later this year around the rules engine, but more on that later.
