Paul Andrew, James Conard, Scott Woodgate, "Presenting Windows Workflow
Foundation"
Sams | ISBN 0672328488 | 2005 Year | CHM | 7,27 Mb | 312 Pages
Presenting Windows Workflow Foundation is a premium reference that provides
information on a key part of WinFX, providing universally accessible and
consistent workflow technology for the Windows platform. Windows Workflow
Foundation delivers an API as part of WinFX and a workflow designer hosted in
Visual Studio 2005.
The Windows Workflow Foundation supports development of both sequential and
state-based workflow involving both human and system interaction. Sequential
workflow is a map of activities that may be in series or parallel. State-based
workflow is a state machine where events cause transitions. Rules can be
specified that drive decision making in a workflow and can be updated easily at
runtime. Workflow can be created as a model and executed inside many host
applications including Windows Forms, console applications, or Web applications.
Key Scenarios that can be developed with Windows Workflow Foundation include:
Document management: The steps involved in the review and approval of shared
documents or other content.
Line of business application: The processing flow or business logic in an
extensible part of the application.
Website page flow: The flow of state variables between web pages.
IT management: Handling of common systems management processes.
Decision making logic: Where complex business logic is well described by a
sequential or state diagram.
Consumer: A common series of steps for consumer PC usage.

Smart web developers will tell you that the sooner you detect your code
mistakes, the quicker you can fix them, and the less the project will cost in
the long run. Well, the most efficient way to detect your mistakes in PHP is
with PHPUnit, an open source framework that automates unit testing by running a
battery of tests as you go. The benefits of PHPUnit are significant:
a reduction in the effort required to frequently test code
fewer overall defects
added confidence in your code
improved relations with your open source teammates
