Temps near 100 F and 100% humidity make for some pretty uncomfortable days

Windows Workflow

• Sometimes you have to go beyond the two root models of WF which are Sequential and State. We needed to and ended up using a hybrid of rules driven and state. Matt Winkler has a post with an ungainly title of Different Execution Patterns with WF (or, Going beyond Sequential and State Machine) How do I do this?
• Matt also has Implementing the N of M Pattern in WF

Orcas

Software Design/Agile/XP/Castle/Windsor/MonoRail

• Scott Bellware on Dependency Patterns
• Jeremy continues his outstanding series on software design, of which I have learned a lot, with Build your own CAB Part #10 - Unit Testing the UI with NUnitForms. Personally I have not bothered with  NUnitForms as I focus on utilizing MVP/MVC to separate out all logic and test it and leave the UI widget testing to Microsoft as its their job but there is something perhaps I could learn here
• Billy has an outstanding post (as usual) on Integrating Castle MonoRail into Legacy Applications

Software Development Tools

• GhostDoc 2.1.0 Released [via Mike]
