I've decided to seriously commit some time to learning these technologies. I've casually glanced at them and never really worried about them. Until now. Now I have a real reason to want to use them, so I'm going to put an effort into it.

I've just had a crack at writing my first workflow. A simple hello world thing that loops around until you give it an answer it's expecting. That took about 30 seconds. Now I know where all the bits are, I need to bite into something more meaty. Off to find some examples.
