SharePoint Workflows from Scratch
 In
SharePoint Workflows from Scratch, Peter Kalmström
explains how workflows can be used to automate SharePoint
business processes. The book is intended for SharePoint
admins and other users who already know the basics of SharePoint.
SharePoint Workflows from Scratch has several parts.
After giving general automation information, Peter describes
how the few built-in SharePoint workflows can be used. Then
he continues with SharePoint Designer and explains the basics
of workflow building with this application.
The major part of the book consists of example workflows
for common business processes, from basic workflows to more
advanced ones. Use them for practice or as templates for
your own workflows.
The example workflows are gathered in chapters that sometimes
have more than one workflow, when Peter gives several options
on how to achieve the automation goal. Each chapter has
one or several theory sections connected to the current
workflow that further expands the knowledge given in the
book's earlier chapters.
SharePoint Workflows from Scratch has multiple links
to kalmstrom.com
Tips articles with video demonstrations. These articles
give explanations in other ways and make the learning more
varied.
SharePoint Workflows from Scratch is available on
Amazon, as e-book and paperback.
From an Amazon review: "It's not easy to find such high-quality,
complete instruction on how to create workflows for SharePoint
2013/2010...and these versions are still in use in a lot
of organizations.
SharePoint Workflows from Scratch is easy to read. The pace
is perfect for the designer or developer who is well-acquainted
enough with how lists and libraries work in SharePoint,
and how to recognize a scenario where a workflow created
using SharePoint designer would be helpful.
The examples contained in the book perfectly illustrate
most every situation where a particular workflow would support
a business rule. No distracting details...no step omitted.
I will definitely read more of Peter Kalmström. Time well-spent!"
