Building workflows in a declarative fashion, and hosting them as services, is a natural way for building business logic that is tiered away from running applications that subscribe to them, therefore providing flexibility for when business processes change. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn Pro WF 4.5, author Bayer White walks you, as the developer, through the steps and explains the concepts of declaratively modeling domain specific business processes that can be hosted and exposed as services, either on premise or as cloud services within Windows Azure. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGives you a practical knowledge of WF 4.5, Windows Server and Azure AppFabric.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBuilds a foundation for building workflows that can be exposed on-premise or in the cloud.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShows how to use the tools available for managing workflow services.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003eWhat you’ll learn\u003cul\u003e  \u003cli\u003eUnderstand the changes introduced in Windows Workflow Foundation after WF 4.0 \u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eBuild workflows by understanding what tools are available so they can be hosted as services \u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eDiscover what hosting options are available with AppFabric and how to determine which one to use. \u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eUnderstand how to install and configure Windows Server and Windows Azure AppFabric. \u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eDeploy workflows as services using Windows Server and Windows Azure AppFabric. \u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eDetermine current health of running services by understanding what tools are available for monitoring. \u003c\/li\u003e  \u003c\/ul\u003e  Who this book is for      \u003cp\u003e     \u003cem\u003ePro WF 4.5\u003c\/em\u003e is for developers and architects interested in building healthy long-running services either on-premise or in the cloud.         \u003c\/p\u003e     Table of Contents\u003cp\u003eWhy Workflows?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIntroducing Windows Workflow Foundation\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWorkflow Activities\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eState Machine Workflows\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFlowchart Workflows\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDynamically Changing and Versioning Workflows\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePatterns for Hosting Workflows\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePersisting Workflows\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTracking Workflows\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRe-hosting the Workflow Designer\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStateful WCF Services Using Workflows\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWorkflows in Azure\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWorkflows in Windows Server AppFabric\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Apress","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47127485153520,"sku":"9781430243847","price":34.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781430243847_p0.jpg?v=1763753380","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781430243847","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
