SPTechCon was my first SharePoint conference back when I attended the San Francisco 2010 edition. That doesn’t seem so long ago, yet it really is in SharePoint time. (They say you’ll never forget your first girl, but in this case it’s my first conference, so… Yeah, if I have to explain it, it’s a stretch.)…
I’m still not sure I’m sold on the whole Twitterview concept, but it seems to be an idea that is catching on out there, as I’ve seen two others going on in the last few days. What I *can* say is that it’s always fun to interact with the good folks at BZ Media who…
Those of you who attended my Enhancing the User Experience with jQuery session at SPTechCon SFO 2011 know that there were no slides, just demos. I wanted to give links to those demos in case you’d like to look at any of them to pick them apart or take them as starting points for functionality…
Well, what a year 2010 was, and what a year 2011 looks to be. I abhor all of this end of the year / start of the year reminiscing and promising, but here I go anyway: I thought I’d do it, too. [I started this over the holidays and then got sick and it languished…

USPJ Academy‘s own resident curmudgeon’s recent post on Should I Get Certified – or How I Passed My First SharePoint Exam Within 24 Hours of Learning How to Spell SharePoint was mentioned today in the SPTechReport Newsletter from BZ Media. BZ Media are the same folks who bring you SPTechCon, alternating between Boston and San…

Rarely in my career have I been as jazzed about something which I have been involved with as I am about the USPJ Academy. We held our inauguration event on 31 May, and now we’ve got classes up and running and students walking the virtual halls. Founded by my friends Bjørn Furuknap and Anil Sharma,…
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…
