Easy to read and very succinct ! Loved this course. Its better than most other courses  out there that are either half baked or way to detailed. 

Excellent,  time and money well spent on this.

Worth it !

# What is SWF?


It is a web service that makes it easy to coordinate work across distributed application components.


Think about an expense report that you submit. It may require a report that you submit. It may require 3 approvals you submit. This would be the job of SWS, you can create a workflow to get approval from manager 1 and then send it for approval to manager 2 and then 3. When the workflow is completed it could even trigger an email notification to you. 

**SQS** is  message-oriented and **SWS** is  task-oriented.

**SWS – Actors**: 
Workflow Starters – an application that can initiate a workflow. Example: your expense reporting tool. When you hit the “submit” button.

**Workflow Decider**:
Control the flow of activity tasks in a workflow execution. i.e. if a task is finished in a workflow or if it fails the decider, decides what to do next.

**Activity Workers**
carry out the activity tasks.
