Folks have asked me about the mysterious WorkflowShell that I had used during CSD lap talk at the PDC. Here it is.

Usage:
>workflowshell hendrix.xoml fenderstrat.dll

PDC Rocks!

Earlier today, Don, Mike, Doug and I did the CSD lap around. Don wrote some amazing haikus for the talk. The session was a blast.

Wrt. the WWF segment of the talk, it was great to be able to show building “transparent” programs in XAML that make the program control flow, and semantics like concurrency etc. explicit.

Hope those who attended the session, enjoyed it.

WWF was announced today on 7/14/05 in the morning keynote at the PDC. It was years of hard work by an extremely passionate group of people. And we are not done yet.

And yes, now I can proudly say that I work on the Windows Workflow Foundation team!

Since the inception of the WWF project, our goal has been to make the workflow programming mainstream. It is a dream come true to finally be able unveil the technology to the developers.

I have been dying for this day to come so I can blog about workflows, Activities and all of the cool stuff we built, publicly. I plan on blogging on WWF architecture a lot in the near future. Stay tuned.
