I sat down with Bob Familiar from Microsoft last week in Los Angeles to talk about Windows Azure and cloud computing in general. Bob's a smart guy (and a fellow musician), and I really enjoyed the conversation. If you're interested, the video of our discussion is here.

The Workflow Way  
# Monday, May 18, 2009
 
Windows Workflow Foundation (commonly called just WF) is a useful technology. It's not so simple to understand and use, however, and so it's not a widely used choice among enterprise Windows developers today. A primary goal of WF's next release is to change this, making the technology more approachable and more popular. For this to happen, people need to understand what WF really offers.

Toward this end, I've written a new introduction to WF. Called The Workflow Way: Understanding Windows Workflow Foundation, the paper's goal is to explain WF to mainstream Windows architects and developers in a straightforward way.

To me, everybody who builds software on Windows ought to understand the basics of WF--it's a fundamental part of the application platform. And while workflow isn't always the right approach, it's sometimes just what you need.
