Hard to believe that it’s already October and SharePoint Conference 2009 is just around the corner. I’ve been working overtime on a couple of cool developer-oriented presentations that will highlight some of the new functionality in SharePoint Server 2010: Session Title: Integrating Customer Data with SharePoint Composites, Business Connectivity Services (BCS) and SilverlightSession Date and […]

As part of the web services presentation I did at DevLink in August I updated my SharePoint List Viewer utility to emit XML results in a browser object (using IE’s native XSL formatting) and cleaned out some of the old legacy dependencies. Naturally, I forgot to post the new executable. It can be downloaded from […]

We wrapped up DevLink 2009 today in Nashville, TN. John Kellar and crew did a fantastic job organizing the event. I don’t know what the final numbers were but there were lots of devs from all over the country there (and a few other countries as well). As predicted, the SharePoint nation made it’s presence […]

I’ve recently upgraded all my development environments to pure 64-bit (except, of course, for Visual Studio, which continues to be a 32-bit laggard) to take advantage of the extra memory space available in x64.

Since I released Part One of this series into the wild there have been many heated discussions around SharePoint and Test Driven Development. As always, Andrew Woodward has a great deal to say on the subject; in fact, we recorded a SharePoint Podshow on this very subject at the European Best Practices conference (and traded […]

Hard as it is to believe 2009 is already half way gone. It’s been a hectic year for the SharePoint Community and, despite summer vacations and attempts to escape the heat, July is shaping up to be just as busy. Here’s a quick update on some upcoming events: SharePoint Saturday Ozarks Join us for the […]
