I'm replacing another developer in the final phase of an ASP.NET project using workflows. As I understand it, most of the project is complete but the workflows parts are still work in progress. This was a surprise assignment and now I have a long weekend to prepare.
Can you recommend any resources to get me up to speed? I can learn on the job, but I need a very clear idea of the basics of WF, particularly as it applies to ASP.NET.

Virtual Labs are a great place to start. For me, nothing beats hands-on. Good luck with your assignment!
draconis : Cheers. I didn't even know these labs existed. I'm going to start using them a lot more often as intros to new subjects.JP Alioto : Great! Glad to hear it. The labs are fantastic. -
The ondemand(previously recorded) webcasts from Microsoft are normally really good, but it's a painful number of clicks to actually get to the point where you can download the file, and sometimes you find that it is not available.
draconis : Thanks for the tip. Like you said, they are a real pain to download. I'll probably try again later. -
Microsoft Windows Workflow Foundation, Step by Step. That's the book I used to learn WF one long weekend.
Also, there's a WF Developer Center on MSDN at http://msdn.microsoft.com/wf/.
draconis : Both very useful resources. However, the Step By Step book lacks a specific section on using workflows in ASP.NET, which I really need. I'll come back to this book once the rush is over and go through it systematically. -
Get Pro WF: Windows Workflow in .NET 3.5 by Bruce Bukovics and prepare for a weekend without sleep.
draconis : Day 1 is coming to a close and I have a massive headache coming on. However, I feel the dawn of WF enlightenment, so I'm bearing the pain with a smile.
