I was a speaker at Microsoft Summit 2015, where I presented Windows Workflow Foundation. The conference took place in Bucharest, Romania, at the Parliament Palace.
I held the presentation on the 4th of November, in the Human Rights Hall – a very impressive conference room. I was happy to see so many people interested in Workflow Foundation, a not so well known technology from the Microsoft .Net stack:

The purpose of the session (part of the “I am a Developer” conference track) was to show an overview of WF: history, architecture, use cases, technology, future. The complete presentation is embedded below:

I ended my session with a demo, in which I showcased:
- an extended Rehosted Workflow Designer (open-sourced on github): real-time execution log + output, 460+ system activities + custom ones, WF operations (design, save, open, start, stop)
- Workflow which connects to Azure & powers on / off a Virtual Machine
- Workflow to demonstrate the State Machine concept: it monitors a critical Windows Service & notifies via SMS when it’s state (running / stopped) changes
