Well as you can see the title is quite but extremely accurate. The book covers a "real world" use of Windows Workflow foundation. The author takes you through Windows Workflow Foundation by building a bug tracking application which is an ideal candidate for a workflow technology. I think this approach is what makes this book stand apart from other Windows Workflow foundation books. It is short and concise and gives you a real application of the technology. This is not a book filled with marketing fluff or the Hello World app (with the exception of the first chapter).
Overall, this book is a good read for those that want to get started in Windows Workflow Foundation.

Announcing the Upcoming AgDataGrid Suite for Silverlight
Available Free-of-Charge without any licensing or royalties from DevExpress
As the release of Silverlight draws near, DevExpress has invested the engineering resources needed to deliver a feature-rich grid control for Silverlight. Not just a "preview" of what is possible with Silverlight, the AgDataGrid Suite was developed to ...

Excerpt from the post...
We are very excited to announce the release of a new developer tool from Microsoft, Source Analysis for C#. This tool is known internally within Microsoft as StyleCop, and has been used for many years now to help teams enforce a common set of best practices for layout, readability, maintainability, and documentation of C# source code.
Source Analysis is similar in many ways to Microsoft Code Analysis (specifically FxCop), but there are some important distinctions. FxCop performs its analysis on compiled binaries, while Source Analysis analyzes the source code directly. For this reason, Code Analysis focuses more on the design of the code, while Source Analysis focuses on layout, readability and documentation. Most of that information is stripped away during the compilation process, and thus cannot be analyzed by FxCop.

Desert Code Camp is coming back to Tempe, AZ.
This is the third time we've run Desert Code Camp, and each time it keeps getting bigger! Those who were with us in the past always seem to sign up to attend again, and each time it gets better and better. Folks even fly in from as far away as Florida and Canada to attend. Why? This free weekend event brings out top talent and high-quality presentations. There is no right or wrong language, platform, or technology. If a topic relates in any way to the code that causes a machine to produce a desired result, you'll find it being discussed at camp.
