The Sela Developer Practice (SDP) took place this week at the Crown-Plaza hotel in Tel-Aviv with many presentations on various topics, all of which given by Sela’s experts. Sasha and I gave two presentations on Tuesday – one on “Parallel Programming with .NET 4.0 and Visual Studio 2010” and an additional one on “Building Workflow Services with WF 4.0 and WCF 4.0”. Parallel Programming in .NET 4.0 and Visual Studio 2010 In this presentation Sasha and I presented the new Parallel Programming paradigms...
I’ve worked a lot with WF 3.0 and WF 3.5 in the past, and I almost always ended up with some mixed feelings. On the one hand, WF is an amazing technology which allows you to do some pretty incredible things when you think about it – easily create a Domain-Specific Language (DSL) and allow domain experts to accurately model the business logic as they see fit in a graphic manner, just dragging-and-dropping some cubes around.

If you are new to WF than I recommend watching the videos once they get published as these sessions start from a very basic level without requiring prior...
