Workflow Foundation (WF), released as one of the four pillars of the .NET Framework 3.0, is a very powerful technology for building robust, scalable, and flexible applications capturing complex business processes. This talk will provide a short overview of core capabilities and the underlying infrastructure - including workflow runtime, instances, and activities as well as tracking and persistence services. We'll then take a deeper dive and demonstrate techniques for integrating and extending your workflows using both local services and external services hosted in WCF.
