MSDN Webcasts - General Workflow (WF 3.x)

	MSDN Webcast: Introduction to SharePoint Products and Technologies for .NET Developers: Workflows (Level 200) Robert L. Bogue- 6/4/2008 Did you know that you can write Windows Workflow Foundation (WF) workflows in Microsoft SharePoint Products and Technologies without having to worry about storage, persistence, or how to interact with the user? Join this webcast, one of a 10-part series on SharePoint Products and Technologies for Microsoft .NET developers, to learn how from Robert Bogue, Microsoft Most Valuable Professional (MVP). Workflows make it possible to implement processes that require interaction, such as e-mail approval or form completion, by people in your organization. In this webcast, we show you how to use the Microsoft Visual Studio development system to create simple workflows in SharePoint Products and Technologies that involve approvals from people by e-mail and for meeting room resource bookings with an administrator.
	MSDN Webcast: Workflow Foundation Tools in Visual Studio 2008 (Level 200) Zain Naboulsi- 4/23/2008 What is the big deal with Windows Workflow Foundation (WF) anyway? Here we take a brief look at why WF is cool and how Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 makes writing WF applications even cooler. So put down that copy of MSDN Magazine for a little while and let's see some real excitement with workflow!
	MSDN Webcast: Introduction to Windows Workflow Foundation (Level 200) Glenn Gordon - 8/24/2007 Join this webcast where Glen Gordon introduces you to Windows Workflow Foundation by examining, modifying, and extending the workflow components of the DinnerNow sample solution. Learn to create custom activities, manage workflow persistence and tracking, and take some time to understand how Windows Workflow Foundation was applied in this application.
