I don't have any free copies and to my knowledge the entire book is not available electronically. However, InformIt is running a 35% discount right now and you can download a couple sample chapters from here:

Thanks James for the response , but i already had that Smile , moreover i also had its examples too ( also the Labs from PDC ). Are you in any mood of wtiting more Articles on MSDN about WWF coz the 2 articles done quite well but as we are moving forward couple of issues arising which needed to be explained ( offcourse which you know better than me ) . well thanks anyways i really wish anybody got a e-book cauz you can take printout , easily goto sections and best of all have it on u r laptop .

Hello

Is the book any good ? Is it worth buying to help expand upon the Workflow samples ?

I have read the sample chapters, but at 300 or so pages have assumed that it would not be particularly comprehensive.

Unfortunately it is not availbale in the UK, so have to buy via the US.
Any views or reviews.

There will be more articles coming on MSDN. Also, I would suggest monitoring the news & articles feed on http://www.windowsworkflow.net. Several members of the product team and other developers in the community are starting to write articles in their blogs and we're aggregating them into a news feed.

Hi jules
ya as i already had fone thorugh the Labs (whuch are quite a good starting point ) i aspect bit more from the books like some acute treamtment on Activites and very important some sort of introduction on creating smart host application , thats very important specially when you look for host application for SPS2003 , CMS 2002 and others .
ya well comprehensive dont need to be a very lenthgy but what i perticulary want to see are example with working code . Also i think as we will have beta2 in december it gona be not that fruitful to have book right now . I am very disapointed that their adre no e-format available :(.

The book is really quite good as an overview and the InformIT discount makes it very inexpensive in terms of computer books. Don't expect deep drill downs but its an excellent way to get up and running quickly on all the different aspects of WinWorkflow.
