As I prepared for my WWF presentation I read through Presenting Windows Workflow Foundation. The book is written by the people involved with the project out in Redmond. It is based on Beta 1.2 (Beta 2 was just released on last Thursday), so keep that in mind when you read it.
Over all I thought the book was well done. There was a great chapter describing what was coming out with the next version of Office and SharePoint.
Well, I gave my presentation at the Code Camp today. The presentation was on Windows Workflow Foundation. It was an Intro type presentation so I didn’t get too deep into any one aspect of the new technology, but I hope everyone got something out of it. You can download my slide deck, presentation demo code and resources (~842 KB Zip File) to get a peek at what it is all about in case you didn’t make the talk (which would be most of the readers I would assume, though I had about 30 people or so in the session, which is about 25 more people than the amount I expect read this blog).
So, last week I posted about the new Trio 700w from Verizon. I had asked how Verizon planned on hamstringing this phone and, thanks to Nino, I have the answer. The current Verizon plan is to NOT allow the phone to be used as a Dial Up Networking Device, so no using your phone to attach your laptop to the Internet. And even if you could, they expect you to pay for an additional EVDO account to do so.
