On contiunations and clouds
As I mentioned in a previous post, Bob and Dharma are working on the "Essential Windows Workflow Foundation" book. Having only written a small part of book myself, I can easily recognize the daily dreary expressions they carry which can only be achieved as a consequence of getting close to finishing the book and incorporating preview reader's feedback.

Don has caused a stir with his continuation blog entries (reference Gilad Bracha and Joe Duffy) which I find quite insightful. While I think a large majority of developers might not be familiar with the concept, I would bet heavily that they suffer from the issues that continuations solve (and by proxy, Windows Workflow Foundation solves)... but, you'll have to read the book to get the zen.

In other news (non WF related), I have been recently working on some experimental projects which we have made public today. Today, we shipped the Microsoft Live Labs Relay and Microsoft Live Labs Security Token Service. You can read more about them on the Relay blog, STS blog and Hervey's blog.

Essential Windows Workflow Foundation
Bob & Dharma are getting ready to ship their book.

Having worked with them for the last few years, its a safe assumption that it'll be worth every penny you pay for it.

Here's the Amazon site

Back from TechEd Israel
What a fantastic event. I'll provide a detailed write up in a few days when the jet lag has subsided.

Paul asked that we advertise the TechEd Boston Chalk Talks. Looks like there are going to be some great sessions!
