How do I download the videos?
- To download, right click the file type you would like and pick “Save target as…” or “Save link as…”
Why should I download videos from Channel9?
- It's an easy way to save the videos you like locally.
- You can save the videos in order to watch them offline.
- If all you want is to hear the audio, you can download the MP3!
Which version should I choose?
- If you want to view the video on your PC, Xbox or Media Center, download the High Quality WMV file (this is the highest quality version we have available).
- If you'd like a lower bitrate version, to reduce the download time or cost, then choose the Medium Quality WMV file.
- If you have a Zune, WP7, iPhone, iPad, or iPod device, choose the low or medium MP4 file.
- If you just want to hear the audio of the video, choose the MP3 file.
Right click “Save as…”
- High Quality WMV (PC, Xbox, MCE)
- MP3 (Audio only)
- MP4 (iPod, Zune HD)

Solid introductory series overall. If you guys do future WF series, it would be interesting to see labs like this on WCF+WF and maybe even the various testing options available.
Thanks - I'm already working on some others like this. Please take a moment to go to Visual Studio Gallery and Rate/Review the lab - that will help to insure that we can do more of these.
Will there be any lab on hosting workflow or communication services on AppFabric? As there is ISS Express for easing the development/debugging process in VS2010, will there be an AppFabric Express also? Is there any way of turning the bottom right webcam off. Watching such webcasts (tutorials) at office are allowed but webcam catches so much attention.
Yes - I'm going to update the Workflow Services lab. I don't know about an AppFabric Express.
As for the webcam in the picture - there is no way for you to turn this off. I've tried different strategies with this. There are basically 3 options
I've gone with option 1 because it is less work
However I'd be interested in the feedback - if you think that option 2 or 3 would be better let me know.
Ron, great work. A lot of time and work went into that, and it was most helpful.
For an upcoming project, I can see where WF4 would make a lot of sense, however this is not exactly an enterprise client and would need to run in a very sparse environment ... web server, db and whater-hosts-the-work-flow on the same machine. Given that, what would you recommend to host the workflow? A Windows Service? Something else?
Also, you're using Microsoft Blueprints and the Guidance Browser. They seem to have taken it off of Codeplex. Anywhere that can still be downloaded? I create tutorials for developers (even have created some for Microsoft) and would like to see how to deliver training using that tool.
Thanks again, and please continue to create this level of quality in upcoming lessons!
Blueprints is now known as Feature Builder Power Tool
I prefer hosting workflows in IIS where possible - that is how you will get the maximum benefit of AppFabric.
