Tags:
programming languages

Overview Workflow, rules, and communications are both omnipresent and critical in the retail and hospitality industries, whether it is the checkout process in a brick and mortar store, or the check-in process at a hotel; the calculation of tax or loyalty card points, or communicating to a third-party payment provider. This webcast explores multiple real-world scenarios where applications based on the Windows Communication Foundation (formerly code-named "Indigo") and Windows Workflow Foundation (formerly code-named "WinOE") features of the WinFX programming model can be used in the retail and hospitality industries. Demonstrations and code samples are also provided.
