There are quite a few articles and resources out there that walk developers and newbies alike on how to create custom workflows in Sharepoint 2007. In this article, I’m going to outline some of the more popular articles in one post. All links are after the break

1. Lets start off with the first Walkthrough provided by MSDN titled “Walkthrough: Creating Office SharePoint Server 2007 Workflows in Visual Studio 2005″. This walkthrough is good starting if you are not familiar with the basics. Three pieces of information are important when a user is presented with a form:
   • The Microsoft Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 user ID of the person to whom the workflow should assign the task
   • Any instructions for completing the task
   • Any other comments the workflow initiator wants to provide
2. Channel9 has a nice video on how to create a workflow.
3. Did you know you can use Infopath to add forms for each workflow step? Well Infopath forms allow you to add richer functionality to workflows. As a developer, you don’t have to create two separate forms, one for use on the server and one for use in the client, to provide the user with this client application integration.

Do you know of any other resources for creating custom workflows?
