I’m driven to write this post after reading one by James Dellow over the weekend called Gartner: Yammer or SharePoint? The choice is still unclear. The choice indeed may still seem unclear, but I think that the statement addresses the wrong questions. In my opinion (I’m the only one here – you talkin’ to me?), we should stop…
Dave Coleman (@davecoleman146davecoleman146) and I had a grand time – Dave and I always seem to have a grand time – with the webinar we did yesterday. It was part of the MetaVis SharePoint MVP Webinars Series and I presented Creating a Great User Experience in SharePoint. It was somewhat a reprise of my SPTechCon…
Introduction I ran across this SPServices Story in a post on the blog at CTS. The author of the post, Matt Ingle, is a Senior Consultant at CTS in Birmingham, AL. According to Matt, he is a team lead for a group called the SharePoint Factory. The SharePoint Factory team roles correspond to the various areas of…
[important] Mark Miller (@EUSP) and I did a webinar on Friday, March 15, 2013 at to show the demo again and take questions about how we built it. If you’d like to look at the demo yourself, check out the publicly available page on NothingButSharePoint.com. The video is embedded below. [/important] It’s not every day…
I’ve just posted a new alpha (ALPHA4) for SPServices 2013.01. This alpha implements the return of a deferred object, aka a promise, as well as executing a completefunc (if provided) for backward compatibility. Note that the deferred object capability was introduced in jQuery 1.5, so this version of SPServices requires that version or greater. I’ve done…
Well, I’m back in the snowy Northeast after a great four days at SPTechCon San Francisco 2013. As always, the BZ Media folks put on a great show. SPTechCon is consistently well-run and packed with excellent content, vendors, and attendees. I wanted to post links to the slide decks from my three sessions. They are available…
I’ve started really cranking on the new version of SPServices and I’m having a blast, as usual. I’ve learned a few things already, and I thought I’d capture them in a post. “use strict”; Just gotta do it. I balked at implementing this previously, as it kept hating my code. Well, it hated my code…
Introduction Today’s SPServices Story comes from Prateek Kulkarni in Bengaluru, India. Prateek posted this originally on the C# Corner site as jqGrid Implementation Using SpServices in SharePoint. As with several of the earlier SPServices Stories posts, I found this one interesting because it shows how to use SPServices with another framework to render the results…
As I gear up to work on the next release of SPServices, I want to make some pretty fundamental changes/improvements to the internal plumbing. What I’m hoping to do with this post is to gather any ideas and feedback that the user community has about the implementation before I go too far with things. Deferred…
Introduction Here’s another SPServices Stories post that is a bit older and talks about how you can use SPServices with other popular plugins and frameworks. While this is possible with the CSOM, I’ve always found that SPServices provides a much tighter and more controllable syntax. You probably can’t trust me on that, though, since I wrote it….
