For some time now, I’ve felt the need to set down my thoughts on the power of development in the Middle Tier for SharePoint. Today, I’m publishing the first edition of my white paper The Middle Tier Manifesto: An Alternative Approach to Development with Microsoft SharePoint. I say ‘first edition’ because the days of spending…
Over the last week, my submissions have been accepted for two large, impressive SharePoint events. (They impress me, anyway!) I’m also looking forward to the launch of the USPJA Academy. SharePoint Saturday DC First up is SharePoint Saturday DC (#SPSDC). On May 15th at the the NVCC Community Cultural Center in Annandale, VA, I’ll be speaking on How…
I released v0.5.4 of the jQuery Library for SharePoint Web Services (SPServices) last Friday, April 9. There were quite a few important changes in the library in this release, as well as a nice new function, $().SPServices.SPAutocomplete. Before this release, there were issues with the $().SPServices.SPRedirectWithID function in MOSS. It had been hard to nail…
Mark Miller (@EUSP) over at EndUserSharePoint.com is always coming up with something fun and new. I saw him tweet just a little while ago about his Community in SharePointpost over at EUSP. I figured SPServices deserved one of these, too. [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FlwJhHqYYec&hl=en_US&fs=1&]
Christophe Humbert, of Path to SharePoint fame, pinged me yesterday and asked me if I had an autocomplete function in my jQuery Library for SharePoint Web Services. Unfortunately, “no” was the answer, so I decided to build one. Et voila! There are lots of functions like this one out there available on the Web. I…
Every once in a while, someone comes back to the jQuery Library for SharePoint Web Services (SPServices) site and shares something they have been doing with the library. I read through one today that was impressive, so I thought I’d post it here so more people can read it and see what neato stuff is…
In a previous post entitled The jQuery Library for SharePoint Web Services and SharePoint 2010, I talked about the fact that the jQuery Library for SharePoint Web Services (SPServices) basically works with SharePoint 2010. I also promised to pursue “certification” for SharePoint 2010 on a function by function basis so that users of the library could be sure…
Over the last few days or so, Christina Wheeler (@cwheeler76) and I were trying to figure out why my jQuery Library for SharePoint Web Services (SPServices) wouldn’t work when SharePoint was enabled for anonymous access. I had always assumed that it was just one of those things. Even though I couldn’t find any definitive documentation…
Jim Bob Howard (@jbhoward) always asks me good questions. Today he was interested in setting the value of a People Picker on a form with script. I pointed him at my old post about doing it with JavaScript, but we’re jQuery buddies, so I wanted to give him some jQuery instead. That and the fact…
It’s a little late, but I wanted to get a blog post out about v0.5.2. I released in on Sunday, March 7. Since then there have already been almost 200 downloads! Also see my prior post for information about the library with SharePoint 2010. There was one interesting thing I dealt with in this release which…
