Product Description

Workflow is the glue that binds information worker processes, users, and artifacts. Without workflow, information workers are just islands of data and potential. Workflow in the 2007 Microsoft Office System details how to implement workflow in SharePoint 2007 and the rest of the 2007 Office System to help information workers share data, enforce processes and business rules, and work more efficiently together or solo.

This book covers anything you're likely going to need to know -- from what workflow is all about, to creating new Activities; from InfoPath forms to ASP.NET forms; from the Rules Engine to the object model. Theres even a section on integrating Office 2003 clients with SharePoint 2007 workflows. Youll come away from reading this book with solid knowledge of how to implement workflow in the new world of Office and SharePoint.

a book coulpd be better, 2008-10-30
This is a good book about workflow but the author is not a good organizer so if he would do some change (if it's republished.) this will be a better book. I mean some details, he omitted some steps which can be important for the reader. Then we need spend more time to figure out what's going on? why we can't get what it reads, etc. Anyway for technical publications, very few good authors, they're good at tech but not good at how to teach. And any good book should give a complete, practical sample, people who read the book can use it directly. That's most people want from the book. Anyway it's a good one compared to other workflow books.

excellent reference material for SharePoint and WF, 2008-05-27
I think this book is a great starting point for SharePoint and WF. I have not another found a consolidated reference on the topic... makes it easy to find all of the needed material to get started in one read.

one of best book i have read in years, 2007-11-22
I wish all authors (programming) could write as clearly and as understandable as this author; no hidden stuff or tricks, just straight to guts. If you are new to workflow and want to get going fast enough, get this book.
I put this author in the category of authors like Stanley B. Lippman, Dr. Grimmes, Dr. Major, Dino Esposito, Ted Pattison, and John Papa.

Very comprehensive review of Workflow in MOSS 2007, 2007-11-19
I bought this book as a reference book, but found myself actually reading through it instead! It is very well-written and easy to understand for a non-programmer like me. It covers very simple workflow and also gets into the more complex things you can do to solve very specific business problems when you add Sharepoint Designer. Excellent coverage of workflow from beginning to end.

Steps not clearly defined., 2007-11-14
Steps are not clearly defined. Author puts steps in paragraph when he should be putting each instruction line by line. Its very easy to miss one crucial step and nothing works after that. Reason I gave four stars because author tries his best however may be the subject or so many steps you need to perform to make workflow work in sharepoint.
