Author and fellow SharePoint MVP Bill English will be presenting at next month’s DFW SharePoint Community meeting.  This is a great opportunity to meet Bill and win some cool prizes so be sure to put it on you calendar.   NOTE: I will be at the SharePoint Connections conference in Las Vegas so keep an […]

With a bit of a hangover from Oktoberfest (did I really drink nearly two pitchers of beer by myself?) I stumbled my way into Day Two of the Tulsa TechFest. The first presentation from Corey Roth was on MOSS Search and the BDC. Corey showed how to create BDC definition files both manually and with […]

I arrived a bit late in the morning and missed the opening Keynote on Silverlight by Jason Zander and Sean Alexander. The SharePoint track started with Richard Oltmann from OakTree Software. His topic was "Preparing for SharePoint 2007", which primarily covered planning for a new SharePoint deployment. This is a really good topic and I […]

Now this is right up my alley.  Andrew Connell has wisely offered to arrange an after-conference get together at the Coral Reef Lounge in the Mandalay Bay Hotel on Tuesday, November 6th from 6-8PM.  If you are planning to attend the SharePoint Connections conference in Las Vegas, you absolutely must stop by and hang out.  […]

I will be presenting "Building Scalable and Secure Line of Business Applications with SharePoint Server 2007" at the Tulsa TechFest on October 20th, 2007 at 2:30PM.  This is a great conference with tons of content on .NET, SQL, SilverLight, DotNetNuke, AJAX, and lots of other topics.  If you are in the area, make plans to […]

We have some great companies presenting their new SharePoint 2007 software […]

Me! That’s right, yours truly is a shiny new SharePoint (WSS) MVP. How cool is that? As with any award, there are lots of people to thank. First and foremost, my thanks go to the one-and-only Bob Fox, who looks after me, tries to keep me out of trouble (hey, he’s not perfect) and without […]

Sean Skinner has posted the slides from his presentation on Building Scalable and Secure Line of Business (LOB) Applications with SharePoint 2007 at the DFW SharePoint Community meeting on September 18th.  Get ’em while they’re hot!

Last Monday’s user group meeting in Reading was full of excellent information.  Patrick Tissegham had to distill a week’s worth of information into about an hour and a half but he did a fine job introducing the group to Office Business Applications (OBA).  Steve Lamb reminded us that Security Matters and made some very good points […]
