You’ve gotta love Twitter. Yesterday, Greg Schaefer asked in the forums for my Enhancing the User Experience with jQuery course at USPJ Academy why jQuery is spelled the way it is. I had no idea, so off to the InterWebs. I didn’t see an obvious answer after a little Binging, so I figured I’d tweet…
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…
I got this question in one of my courses over at the USPJ Academy, and I though the answer might be more widely useful. JavaScript files (and CSS files) can be minified for production use) – ref. your post on the JavaScript CompressorRator. I was wondering – by pure curiosity – if compressing xsl templates…

(Weekends for a couple who both run home-based businesses aren’t so weekend-y, actually. Try…
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…
