Introducing SharePoint Visual Studio Workflows is the name of the first Visual Studio workflow issue of Understanding SharePoint Journal. In this issue, I will introduce you to the Visual Studio workflow authoring experience. and show you various aspect of developing workflows for SharePoint in Visual Studio 2008.
Even better; you won’t need to write any code. This is a low-code introduction, targeted at workflow developers who may have experience with SharePoint Designer workflows or out-of-the-box workflows, but want more control and far more power.
You don’t need to buy Visual Studio or other software either. I will tell you how to get all the software you need.
The issue, spanning 100 pages, covers the following aspects of SharePoint Visual Studio workflows:
- Creating the development environment, including getting free or trial versions of all required software
- Workflow in a Nutshell
- The Visual Studio workflow desiger
- Sequential and state machine workflows
- SharePoint workflow activities
- Branching, conditions, and loops
The issue is available on http://www.sharepointvisualstudioworkflows.com/

I would like to do a lot more with work flows, and hope this article really helps explore different paths these can take!
Bruce,
I certainly hope so too, let me know if you have any questions or if there’s something you’re still looking to learn after reading the issue
