Better late than never to post about this, I suppose. Chris Givens set up a great challenge on the MSDN Forums for SharePoint which ended on April 29. You can read about it here and here. We tweeted about it with the hashtag #forumjam2010. Once the results were all in, I came in second. Sure, I…
Because I do 90+% of my work with SharePoint in the Middle Tier, I’ve been using just one SharePoint 2007 (MOSS) virtual machine (VM) since early 2007. This VM is self-contained and when I need a new, unique environment, I just spin up a new Web App and Site Collection. Why is this blog-worthy? Well,…
It’s Friday, and the weekend is coming. As I wax lyrically on the fun we will have this weekend with the party for my son’s sixth birthday, I had some thoughts about the upcoming USPJ Academy (USPJA) I wanted to share. (Weekends for a couple who both run home-based businesses aren’t so weekend-y, actually. Try…
Laura Rogers (aka @WonderLaura) posted a neato way to populate a list form with the current user’s information today in her post SharePoint List Form – Default User Information. As I always say to Laura, it’s amazing how many different ways there are to do something in SharePoint! I would probably do it differently, but…
Starting today, my series of articles on Unlocking the Mysteries of the SharePoint Data View Web Part XSL Tags from my blog and EndUsersharePoint.com is available for download as an eBook from the Sympraxis Consulting Web site. I’ve had many requests to “bind this content up” into a book or eBook, so I did just that….
Saturday, I saw this tweet from my pal Michael Greene (@webdes03): I usually look at what Michael retweets, and this one was intriguing. The link took me to Fancy checkboxes and radio buttons by Marko Dugonjić, a web professional from Velika Gorica, Croatia. In the article, Marko showed a deceptively simple, but very nice looking, way…
I was looking through the incoming links here on my blog tonight, and I noticed this one: Middle Tier (un método alternativo para desarrollar en SharePoint). Well, that was interesting enough to click on, for sure! What it led me to was a Spanish post which is basically a brief paraphrasing of The Middle Tier…
As those of you who follow this blog know, I’ve get the best laptop in the world. One of the joys of it is the 64 bit architecture. I was lagging behind with my old Jornata Dell Latitude D820, and now I can VM with the big boys. But can I really? It turns out…
I got a DM in HootSuite today from Raymond Mitchell (aka @iwkid): We went back and forth a little, and I ended up creating the SharePoint XSL Templates project. This is an idea I’ve had for a while, but just hadn’t gotten to. Raymond’s prod made me actually do it. Creating a new Codeplex…
With a title like that, should I even pretend that this blog is about anything other than SharePoint? I had a nice Skypversation with Jeremy Thake (@jthake) earlier today. (Yes, today’s posts do have a certain @jthake skew.) Jeremy was having a problem with SharePoint Designer, and was hoping that I could help. What Jeremy was…
