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…
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…
Introduction I’ve been aware that John Liu (@johnnliu) is a fan of SPServices for some time now. He occasionally tweets about things he’s up to, and they always sound intriguing. Recently, I asked him if he’d like to share any of his own SPServices Stories, and he did a post for me on his blog….
Dan Antion (@dantion) did a great post over on his SharePoint Stories blog this morning called People Want Different Things. Dan does one excellent post per week on that blog. They arrive every Saturday morning, and reading it is usually one of the first things I do of a Saturday. Today’s was a great post,…
This is a really simple little thing. I end up writing little functions like this all the time, and never think much about them. But they are darn useful. This little function will hide a list column’s row in the form. You might want to do this on a NewForm but not the EditForm, for…

Unless you’ve been on vacation and disconnected or have taken a mental holiday from the SharePoint blogosphere, you’ve probably seen or heard of Steve Gaitten‘s post on the The Bamboo Team Blog called SharePoint is Going Away. I thought that I would start to collect the other posts I spot which are responses to Steve’s…
Last week, while I was in Connecticut working with Dan Antion’s team, I was able to meet Mark Thompson (@MCTSMark) and Bill Kelly, who run the blog Consultant Chronicle. Mark and Bill are aiming to build readership amongst consultants and practitioners in the general technology space. Or, as their subtitle says “Building a community to…
Yup, I’m stealing the main part of the title from Dan Antion’s (@dantion) SharePoint Story for this week. Why? Well, because the story is about the two days I spent with Dan and his team talking about developing in SharePoint’s Middle Tier. I don’t usually like to crow, but when someone like Dan comes up with…
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…
