I purchased this book because I was tasked with writing ASP.NET Workflow apps using K2. While the book does indeed contain tons of information about K2, I found very little of the content useful in what I was trying to do. There was only about 5-10 pages that assisted me in programming K2 workflows.
If you are creating WFs using the GUI designers in Sharepoint or K2 Studio, and leave it at that, this book might be more helpful to you.
My opinion of K2 is when it works, it works great and saves you a lot of time, but when it doesn't work - good luck. As another reviewer mentioned, the error messages in K2 can be very cryptic. Indeed, I brought a security excpetion message to the attention of the K2 rep and they admitted they were just throwing general errors without including a specific message about the real issue.![K2 blackpearl license cost calculator K2 blackpearl license cost calculator](/uploads/1/2/4/8/124881778/636447564.jpg)
