What is a workflow? A set of activities that coordinate people and / or software. . . Example activities…. Escalate. To. Manager Check. Inventory …organized into some form of workflow. Like a flowchart…. Or a state diagram….

Workflow is everywhere Every “if” statement Every Web page transition Think about all the places where your app has conditional logic… Need to take the next step Get the complex workflow logic out of the applications Capture this logic into a system Expose this system to developers

Windows Workflow Foundation Extensible framework & API to build workflow centric products Single workflow technology for all of Windows Fundamental part of the Office “ 12” value proposition

Concepts and Components Key Concepts Workflows are a set of Activities Workflows run within a Host Process: any application or server Developers can build their own Custom Activity Libraries Components Base Activity Library: Out-of-box activities and base for custom activities Runtime Engine: Workflow execution and state management Runtime Services: Hosting flexibility and communication Visual Designer: Graphical and codebased construction Visual Designer A Workflow An Activity Custom Activity Library Windows Workflow Foundation Base Activity Library Runtime Engine Runtime Services Host Process

Consistent and Familiar Experience for Development Workflow Designers (À la ‘ASP. NET’ Designer) Sequential Designer State Machine Designer Create new workflows Visual (/code) authoring Visual debugging Themes support Activity Designer (À la ‘User. Control’ Designer) Create new activities Inherit from base activities or start from scratch Activity Designer

Windows Workflow Foundation

Windows® Presentation Foundation Enabling app developers for amazing UX

Why hasn’t UX taken off in software? UX is often not recognized as a top level requirement “Functional” is often sufficient Development complexity is the main challenge Great UX takes more time Application UX design is an emerging discipline Craft, best practices, and technologies to drive UX design and development are still emerging

Developer Capability – The Lever to Superior UX By unlocking developer capability & spurring productivity… End User UX can be brought into scope… And significant new & expanded business opportunities will come into reach

Windows Presentation Foundation Microsoft’s strategic UX technology The common foundation for UI, documents, and media on Windows Vista Windows Presentation Foundation consists of: Hardware accelerated rich media presentation engine built on Direct 3 D v 10. NET Framework programming and object model XAML Declarative Markup language for describing content and UI

XAML Declarative Programming Extensible Application Markup Language –XAML Declaratively program the object model One-to-one correspondence with object model Each tag corresponds to an object model class Easy for tools to consume and generate Enables interoperation between design and developer tools Consistent programming model Consistent model between UI, documents, and media <Button Width="100 px"> OK <Button. Background> Horizontal. Gradient White Lt. Blue </Button. Background> </Button> Button b 1 = new Button(); b 1. Content = "OK"; b 1. Background = new Solid. Color. Brush(Colors. Light. Blue); b 1.
