To get the most knowledge and experience and skills, i recomend that
you work hard before viewing the source code, at least; This is my
opinion thanks.

Chapter Outline:
---------------------
This book’s projects (chapters) are grouped into five sections. In many
cases, the same solution is provided in all chapters in that section,
with each chapter providing new features to the project from the
previous chapter.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Section 1: Basic Concepts:
---------------------------------
In the first section, you’ll build three simple workflows. In Chapter
1, you’ll create a workflow using the workflow designer and some of the
basic built-in activities. In Chapter 2, you’ll re-create the same
workflow in code. This will give you an opportunity early on to see
both designer workflows and coded workflows. Both types will be
demonstrated throughout the book. In Chapter 3, you’ll use the
flowchart activity, which provides the ultimate flexibility in
designing complex workflows.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Section 2: Designing Workflows:
-----------------------------------------
In the second section, you’ll build a workflow that computes the cost
of an order. Each chapter will add additional features to the project
from the previous chapter. The project in Chapter 4 demonstrates how
to pass data into and out of a workflow. In Chapter 5, you’ll
interactively execute activities based on a
collection of objects. Chapter 6 will show you how to handle and throw
exceptions. In Chapter 7, you’ll explore the two main ways to extend
the workflow activities: creating a custom activity and executing the
InvokeMethod activity.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Section 3: Communication:
---------------------------------
In the third section, you’ll build workflows that take advantage of the
integration with the Windows Communication Foundation (WCF). The
project in Chapter 8 builds a console application that communicates
with other instances of the same application using WCF messages. In
Chapter 9, the console app is replaced with a Windows Presentation
Foundation (WPF) application, which demonstrates how the application
and workflow can interact with each other. In Chapter 10, you’ll host
a workflow in a WCF web service. You’ll also consume that service using
a workflow application.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Section 4: Workflow Extensions:
----------------------------------------
A key component of workflow design is the use of extensions to
configure the environment in which the workflow activities operate. The
project in Chapter 11, for instance, demonstrates how to use the
standard SQL persistence extension. This extension allows the state of
the workflow to be written to a SQL database and retrieved later, when
the workflow is resumed. In Chapter 12, you’ll explore ways to
extend and customize the persistence operation. The project in Chapter
13 demonstrates how to track the execution of a workflow in a variety
of ways. In Chapter 14, you’ll use database transactions to ensure
data consistency across multiple activities. In Chapter 15, you’ll
execute the application updates on the same database transaction used
to persist the workflow state. This will guarantee that the workflow
state and application data stay consistent. Finally, in Chapter 16,
you’ll learn how to configure extensions when the workflow is
instantiated by a WorkflowServiceHost.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Section 5: Advanced Topics:
-----------------------------------
Chapter 17 demonstrates how to include logic within the workflow design
to handle abnormal conditions such as compensation and cancellation. In
Chapter 18, you’ll see how to use both built-in and custom activities
to support collections of objects. The project in Chapter 19 uses the
Interop activity to execute workflows and activities that were created
using previous versions of WF. In Chapter 20, you’ll use the Policy
activity from version 3.0 in a WF 4.0 workflow.
