The goal of this course is to help people immediately get up to speed and productive in creating automated business processes as workflows in SharePoint 2013. The target audience for this course are developers and power users as I cover building workflows and assigning tasks using both SharePoint Designer 2013 and Visual Studio 2012. There no specific customer focus… everything I show you works both in an on-premises deployment as well as a hosted environment such as Office 365.
