 | Ramp Up: Developer Introduction to Windows Server AppFabric (Part 1): Hosting Services |
The combination of Windows Workflow Foundation in Microsoft .NET 4 together with Windows Server AppFabric provides a new way to create these business processes, to coordinate services and to expose these workflows as services themselves.
- Many business applications have a significant code base responsible for back end business processes and activities that are both hard to write and even more challenging to manage. With Web Services being the primary way to expose and consume business logic, building services, coordinating services and implementing the long running processes across these services needs to get easier. The combination of Windows Workflow Foundation in Microsoft .NET 4 together with Windows Server AppFabric provides a new way to create these business processes, to coordinate services and to expose these workflows as services themselves. This Ramp Up track provides you with the initial knowledge needed to build services and workflows and to understand how to configure and manage these using Windows Server AppFabric. The training assumes that you are a competent .NET developer and know your way around web applications, databases and Microsoft ASP.NET. No prior workflow or web services experience is necessary.
