SharePoint 2010 is a huge technology with tens of thousands of companies adopting it from all across the globe. Within the SharePoint product stack, workflows are one of the most compelling and ROI generating features for many business.

SharePoint 2010 Workflows in Action will take you through the SharePoint workflow fundamentals, and all the way to very advanced topics to help you meet your most complex workflow requirements. This includes covering topics such as the out of box workflows, and building custom workflows with SharePoint Designer 2010, Office Visio 2010, and Visual Studio 2010.

Additionally, the book covers topics that are very important to workflow such as building forms with InfoPath 2010, building custom task processes, building custom activities and conditions, and how to leverage external data sources in your workflows via Business Connectivity Services. Other goodies include building State Machine workflows, leveraging ASP.NET forms, workflow event handlers, and publishing custom actions and conditions into SharePoint Designer. The book is a one stop shop workflow resource for anyone building workflows for the SharePoint 2010 platform.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good starter book, April 28 2011
By Andrew Teasdale - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: SharePoint 2010 Workflows in Action (Paperback)
New to workflows. Not a programmer. Been doing basic stuff with SharePoint for a few years. Just was given access to SharePoint 2010 and want to demonstrate what workflows can do.

Bought this book. It's a good fit for my experience level. Good combination of background and follow-along exercises. Got me to the point where I could quickly build simple workflows that interacted with data off multiple lists.

There's more to this book than I need right now. Will probably be referencing it as I progress.

Once you purchase the book, you may download an electronic version. Was handy as I travel and didn't want to lug the book.

2.0 out of 5 stars Gets you close, but leaves much to be desired, Oct 20 2011
By S. Brown - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: SharePoint 2010 Workflows in Action (Paperback)
This book does an OK job of introducing some of the workflow concepts and capabilities in SP2010. However, I found many of the examples to be lacking certain key steps, skipping critical parts and/or just plain wrong. This is particularly true when you get into the final section of the book about custom-coded workflows. The early SPD workflow examples are OK, but when deployed, most did not function in SP the way the author said it would. The more advanced state machine workflow just gives you some pictures and brief descriptions about how it works, but does nothing to tell you how to implement the workflow. Perhaps the author intends for the user to figure out some stuff on their own (which is a perfectly acceptable instruction technique), however there is little/no guidance for what to do when workflows don't behave as expected.

Overall, this was a frustrating read. I felt like I was learning, but kept having to overcome obstacles (some significant) to get the job done. I wouldn't recommend this back to anyone looking to learn workflow in SP2010. Of course, this is equally frustrating since (at the time of writing) there are so few resources available discussing SP2010 workflows in depth.

3.0 out of 5 stars Great starter, Nov 15 2011
By C. Harrison "geek" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: SharePoint 2010 Workflows in Action (Paperback)
Put simply, if you're looking for a nice, high level tour of workflows, this is a perfect book. If you're looking for something that's much more in depth and covers more advanced topics, look elsewhere.

Unfortunately for me, I was looking for the latter. :-(
