I can honestly say that I’m sure that everyone enjoyed SharePoint Saturday Chicago yesterday. From the location at the Hard Rock Chicago to the fantastic speaker line up (I snuck in) to the overall convivial atmosphere, it was an event to remember. Kudos go out to Kris Wagner (@SharePointKris), Doug Hemminger (@DougHemminger), Chris Geier (@chrisgeier), and Bryan Gulley (@UXJester)…
Thanks to everyone who attended my session at SharePoint Saturday New Hampshire (that’s SPSNH to many of you) over the weekend. Thanks also to everyone who worked so hard to make SPSNH happen this year. It’s a helluva lot of work to put together events like this, and everyone deserves a big round of applause,…
Last week was a busy one for me, not so much with client work (though I managed to get a lot of that in, too), but with speaking at SharePoint events. On Saturday, September 22, I was honored to deliver one sixth of the sessions in the keynote slot which kicked off the day. My…
I’ve had a wonderful time over the last four days as an attendee and speaker at two great SharePoint events. The first one was SharePoint Saturday Boston, right in my own backyard at Microsoft’s offices in Waltham, MA. Helping Pradeepa Siva, Talbott Crowell (@talbott), and Geoff Varosky (@gvaro) with the organizing a bit certainly gave…
It was a great pleasure to be able to make a small swoop through Europe this last week to present at SharePoint Saturday UK (SPSUK) in Nottingham, England and at the SharePoint and Exchange Forum 2011 (SEF11) in Stockholm, Sweden. Both events were well-attended, with something like 250-350 eager learners at each. it’s always interesting…
I thoroughly enjoyed speaking at SharePoint Saturday Tampa yesterday. Michael Hinckley and his team (Is there a team, really, or is it all Michael??? I know his daughter was there helping at the Speaker Dinner.) did another crackerjack job with the event. It was great to see old friends like Michael Oryszak (@next_connect), Michael Greene…
Thanks to everyone who attended my session at SharePoint Saturday EMEA yesterday. If you’re interested in looking under the covers of the demo that I did on Developing in SharePoint’s Middle Tier, there is a Site Template (MiddleTier.WSP) available on my Sympraxis Consulting demo site in the upper right which you can download and instantiate…
I’ll be doing a session at Live Online SharePoint Saturday EMEA on January 22nd, 2011 entitled Developing in SharePoint’s Middle Tier. (I know I’m going to get some guff about continuing to use the ‘Middle Tier’ moniker; I’m OK with that.) While most of the market focus in SharePoint development lies with .NET skills and…
This weekend, I had the privilege of speaking at SharePoint Saturday Boston #3. Talbott Crowell, Pradeepa Siva, and Geoff Varosky put together another great event at the Microsoft offices in Waltham. Thanks to them and all of the sponsors! Photo tweeted by @ghurlman: http://yfrog.com/n8rt1zj My talk was about Enhancing the User Experience Using jQuery: In…
So much has been said already about how fantastic SharePoint Saturday DC was that I’m not sure that I have much to add. But I probably should at least repeat a few of the highlights for me. Almost 1000 people were in attendance. I’m not sure if that includes all of the blue shirts (presenters),…
