Want a free copy of Activiti in Action?

I haven’t read it yet, but I’m excited to see that Tijs Rademakers’ new book on Activiti has finally gone to print. Several people have had access for some time through Manning’s Early Access Program (MEAP) so hopefully we’ll start to see some feedback on the book soon.

To celebrate, Manning has been kind enough to let me give away at least one copy of the book to readers of my blog. Respond to this post and I’ll pick a name at random from all of the responses I receive by noon Central/US time on Friday, July 20. It would be cool if you’d say how you are using Activiti (or how you are planning to use Activiti) but don’t feel like you have to make up something. One entry per person, void where prohibited, yada yada yada.

UPDATE: The contest is over. The winners have been selected and notified. The winners were jeanjot, Remy Girodon, and Ben Graham. Congratulations!

If you didn’t win and would like to purchase the book, Manning has provided a discount code for 37% off when purchased from http://manning.com/rademakers2/. Just use 12aiajp when you checkout.

    We all definitely need an easy to implement workflow engine. Big solutions aka EMC’s, IBM’s are expensive to buy and expensive to implement/cusomize.

    I have never tried Activity BPM. I have experience on JBPM and savvion BPM. So this can be the time I can plan building some processes using open source Activiti.

    Hi!

    We develop our business processes using activiti after it was included in alfresco (3.4.e). Now we have many business processes, such as review, endorsement, acquaint and many others. In our project we have many types of documents, but its have many similar parts in their lifecycles and we reuse our processes for that purpose.

    Hi Jeff,

    We’re integrating Activiti into our existing J2EE and ESB architectures to provide ad hoc workflow capabilities in our SaaS Vendor Management System. We’re about 8 weeks in so this book is very timely!

    Best Regards,
    Joe

    Yep.

    I’m part of a team that recommends development technologies for a large public institution. BPM, and Activiti in particular, is on my list of interests, among many other things.

    Hi,

    Just heard about the give away and since I’ve been working with IBM BPM (you may read about it on my blog) I wish I could read/experience how it is to work with Activity. Count me in!

    Hello, I manage Startup company that is writing java based web applications. We are using Play!Framework. Now, we need to append business processes into current project. We have used Alfresco then we want to use Activity as our BPM. Official documentation isn’t bad, but the book’ll help us a lot.

    Best regards.

    We’re planning to use Alfresco in G2C services. As Activiti is available as part of the Alfresco we’ll use it as the engine for the document submission and retrieval workflows.
