When I was in the UK a few weeks ago I sat down with my good friend and fellow SharePoint MVP Nick Swan to record an interview for the SharePoint Podshow. We talked about a wide range of topics, including my favorite subject, SharePoint performance, and it was good fun. Give it a listen and […]

Just a reminder that the August meeting of the D/FW SharePoint Community is Tuesday the 19th. K2 will be presenting one of their workflow applications and my friends over at Barracuda Software will be talking about user permission management and their DeliverPoint product. In the Developer breakout session we will be discussing the use, creation […]

Last night I presented Full Speed Ahead – Developing High Performance Applications for Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 to the SharePoint UK User Group in London. We had a record turnout of 139 people; in fact, so many showed up that we ran short of pizza and drinks. Fortunately, the local pub was a quick […]

Today marks the official launch of the International SharePoint Professionals Association (ISPA). This is an exciting project that I have been involved with for some time. Go to the ISPA web site and Bob Fox’s blog to get the official lowdown. From my perspective, what excites me the most about this organization is the tremendous […]

Join me at the July meeting of the D/FW SharePoint Community. I will be doing a presentation on Configuring MOSS for Optimal Performance (hey, me, doing an Admin talk? What’s the world coming to?) and Idera will be discussing various management and monitoring tools for SharePoint. During the Developer breakout sessions Rajesh Satluri will show […]

Thanks to fellow SharePoint MVP Goran Hussman I’ll be presenting two talks at the SharePoint and Exchange Forum (Warning: Link is a machine translation – please don’t blame me for the garbled Swedish!) near Stockholm, Sweden in September. I’m really looking forward to this trip for a few reasons: 1) I’ve never been to Sweden […]

Afterwards, the Developer community spent some additional time discussing various toolsets, looking at the new […]

SharePoint MVP and WCM expert Andrew Connell will be dropping by to give us all some guidance and tools for SharePoint developers and administrators. He’ll then be joining the Developer breakout group for a more in-depth […]

Another day on booth duty. Not much excitement here but the motorcycle giveaway by Avepoint drew a pretty big crowd. The SharePoint Nation is well represented in the exhibit hall; the only partner zone banner hanging this week was for SharePoint. I didn’t take a formal survey but it seemed as if there were at […]

Well, it’s finally over. My two week marathon stint at TechEd has come to a close and I’m so happy to be out of here that I would do a dance if I had any energy left. I spent so much time on my feet and walking back and forth across the mammoth OCCC building […]
