Event Details

Aberdeen Developers are pleased to present a talk by David Muir on Thursday 22nd March 2012 at the Robert Gordon University.


A Step into Workflow Foundation 4

As software developers, we are currently on the lookout for tools and frameworks which we can utilise in order to improve our efficiency and productivity. It is important to understand what these are, what they can do, why they are useful and most important when we should use them.

This session aims to provide introduction by example to Workflow Foundation 4. We will look at what Workflow Foundation is, what it can do and why we should use it. We will then look into some examples with emphasis on:

  • Workflow Authoring Models
  • Working with Data
  • Custom Activities
  • Workflow Services

As a conclusion to the session we will then look at when we should use Workflow Foundation.

Hosted By

Aberdeen Developers .Net User Group



Formed in June 2010, the Aberdeen Developers .Net User Group is a non-profit user group which aims to benefit software developers in and around the Aberdeen area.

Primarily, we aim to offer in person events which deal with the various aspects of .Net Development. The topics for these meetings are decided by the User Group Committee, however, if there is a particular area that you would like to see an event on, then please feel free to get in touch with us.

It is our hope that all events will be provided absolutely free, or at a very minimal cost. We are able to do this through the generous support of our sponsors, without whom this group would not exist.
