What you'll learn
Microsoftâ??s Windows Workflow Foundation (WF) provides a
framework for creating scalable applications consisting of independent
program units called activities. WF 4 was a major rewrite of this
technology, offering significantly higher performance and making it
easier to create and execute workflow applications. WF 4.5 contains new
activities, designer capabilities, and a new workflow development model
(state machines). It also supports the use of C# expressions in C#
workflows. This four-day course covers WF 4.5 and uses Visual Studio
2017, which provides a visual designer for creating workflows.
Prerequisites
The student should have programming experience in C# and the .NET
