Book Description

February 15, 2007

Workflow is the next hot area in Office-based technology and enables workers to share data, enforce process and business rules and work more efficiently, both together and individually. This book is written by a developer and architect with 9 years of experience building Information Worker solutions, including building custom workflow engines and working with existing third-party workflow products. It takes an approach rooted in real world business and technical problems from the Information Worker space and methodically walks through the process of building a solid, useable workflow solution.

The author challenges the reader to look at the Office System in general, and workflow specifically, in a new light and to expand their comfort level developing solutions within the Office System. The book is targeted at the serious Information Worker developer, a growing group in IT, who is interested in learning the inner workings of workflow and Office 12, not just in scratching the surface of this exciting new technology.

5.0 out of 5 stars Outstanding coverage of a difficult topic, March 14, 2007
This review is from: Workflow in the 2007 Microsoft Office System (Paperback)
I have been creating workflows in SharePoint 2007 since early in the beta. The process is challenging and - at times - frustrating. David has done an excellent job providing the details and examples necessary for developers to be successful. You will find answers in this book that are not available from any other source.

4.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic WF+MOSS 2007 reference, March 27, 2007

This review is from: Workflow in the 2007 Microsoft Office System (Paperback)
I struggled with workflows, especially integreating the webified versions into MOSS 2007 Forms Server going back to the very early beta days. While I was able to get them to work, some concepts were hazy to me. David's book brought it all together with some fantastic examples. If you're new to WF, this first section will address the core concepts... no need to go out and get another workflow book. The three chapters on creating a custom activity, creating a sequential & statemachine workflow, and making it available over the web via Forms Server are fantastic.

Only reason I'm not giving it a 5 out of 5 is because the book is very conversational. A book of this type should be more reference, not "chatty."

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent coverage of an undercovered topic, March 14, 2007
This review is from: Workflow in the 2007 Microsoft Office System (Paperback)
Having used MOSS 2007 and WF since their beta timescales I've always struggled to find a source of useful information on this topic . . . enter "Workflow in the 2007 Microsoft Office System".

The book starts off basic, covering the concepts behind WF and workflows using SharePoint Designer. Then it gets down and dirty into the essentials like activity development, sequential workflows, state machine workflows, workflow forms and lots of other good stuff that you'll need to know should you want to write custom workflows for MOSS.

Excellently covered and very informative and easy to follow - a must for a SharePoint developers bookshelf.
