Download "Simple Human Workflow Quickstart Sample Code"

Here’s a quickstart for WF that just went up on MS downloads. Download description: “The Simple Human Workflow Quickstart contains sample code that demonstrates how to build activities that interact with people so that a developer can easily build workflow enabled applications which involve simple approvals and escalation. In this sample we demonstrate how to make use of Active Directory or an alternative directory for organizational hierarchy lookups. We also demonstrate activities that interact with Microsoft Live Communication Server for user presence detection and also sending and receiving of instant messages.

Best WF related blog yet!

Nathan Talbert (RSS) has easily the best WF tech related blog yet. This is an excellent insight into how WF works. He first few entries have been Question/Answer related type entries where he takes a question about the runtime and custom activities and delves into how it works. Highly recommended if you want to get the dirt on WF.

New WinFx CTP has the same Workflow bits as Jan.

I noticed this on another blog (can’t find the reference again), but if you are working with WF and you noticed that the Feb. CTP for WinFx came out don’t worry about rushing out to grab it. It has the same WF build in it as the Jan. CTP did.
