There are some great new features coming out with both products, features that many of my clients ...

I have been SLAMMED lately (mostly traveling and speaking, but also taking time with my family) and not blogging enough, I get it, I hear you all loud and clear. I am going to try (starting this week) to publish little bites of new features and enhancements that I have not seen posted elsewhere.
Since I am in the process of building my post about yesterday’s SharePoint Saturday, it seems like...

Not to beat a dead horse, but if you are working with SharePoint and don’t know what the title of this post relates to, you need to educate yourself. If you have not run into an issue yet, just wait, you will. The usual scenario is “out of the blue” you can no longer browse your SharePoint site from the server desktop, though you can browse it fine from other machines on the network. You rec...

I have been spending quite a bit of time lately working with Silverlight 3 and SharePoint. One of the first big shifts for me is that Silverlight Development is Client development. Silverlight runs in the browser, but it runs on the client, so no SharePoint Object Model code. You have to access all of the goodness that is SharePoint through its web services. Once you get started on your project ...

I love BEING organized…I hate GETTING organized. I made a promise to myself (dare I say a resolution) in January that each month I would take one step closer to getting myself organized. Actually this was a good time for me because I have been planning on updating my home computer infrastructure so it made sense that I would also get my home office and electronic files all backed up and secure. M...
