January 10th - Matt Winkler - Windows Workflow Foundation (WF)
Matt Winkler is coming! - January 10th, 2006

Matt Winkler, Technical Evangelist for Windows Workflow Foundation (WF), will be speaking at our next meeting on January 10. If you haven’t heard, WF is the programming model, engine and tools for quickly building workflow enabled applications. WF radically enhances a developer’s ability to model and support business processes. Sound interesting? Make sure you don’t miss AADND on January 10th starting at 6:00 pm.

Matt Winkler is the Technical Evangelist for Windows Workflow. He was born and raised in St. Louis, Missouri, home of Budweiser, and toasted ravioli. After college at Denison University, he returned to work for a consulting firm and a software development firm. For the last few years he has been focused on integration and workflow technologies, so he’s very excited about Windows Workflow, and looking forward to finding many different cool uses for it.

But wait if you act now... And if thats not good enough...

(I realize that)

Hey but what a great meeting last night. For those of you who missed the Workflow discussion, Matt Winkler dove into Workflow and explained why Microsoft would what to do this, what they are doing, and where they are going with the Workflow technology. I don't know about you but, if I had this technology years ago, my life would be so much easier.

I think the ability to wrap a framework around this workflow idea will help allot. This now solves the way processes are passed through your corporation. I am working on an application right now which executes a workflow process, which has different states, and has rules around these states. I can't wait to get my hands into Windows Workflow. Now if I only had VS 2005, but thats another story.

We will be posting the slide show soon.
