Speaking at the SharePoint Technology Conference!

Tags: Speaking Events

With much excitement I'm pleased to announce I'll be speaking at the upcoming SharePoint Technology Conference in San Francisco! http://sptechcon.com/

What I love about this conference is its unique format – attendees can choose from dozens and dozens of sessions ranging from 75 minutes, 3 hours, and FULL DAY sessions! Thus, if you want to go deep in a particular area, or if you'd prefer to get a broad range of exposure – YOU HAVE THE FLEXIBILIITY! I really believe there is great value in this conference because of the diversity of session formats, not to mention session options.

Anyways – you can tell I'm excited. Here's the sessions I'll be presenting on:

FULL-DAY WORKSHOP

SharePoint 101: Developers

(Unofficial synopsis) Starting out as a SharePoint developer can be a daunting task – there's much to know, best practices to learn, and many techniques to avoid. Where does one start? This all day session will take a SharePoint newbie through all the main development techniques, giving any .NET developer a rock solid introduction to all that they would need to be aware of regarding what SharePoint is, how to develop against and extend the product, and best practices to help them get started on the right path!

75-MINUTE SESSIONS

Using Reporting Services and LINQ in SharePoint

(Unofficial synopsis) Reporting across data in SharePoint isn't the most straight forward thing to do. This is especially true if you need one report with data joined from multiple SharePoint list sources. In this session we'll leverage Business Intelligence Development Studio to build reports across these sources, and publish those reports back into SharePoint. Additionally, we'll explore LINQ techniques against the SharePoint API to help streamline our SharePoint querying.

Building Custom Business Process Solutions

(Unofficial synopsis) SharePoint workflows are a powerful tool to help you automate your business processes. This presentation will walk you through easy steps to creating these workflows from within SharePoint Designer and Visual Studio. Additionally, we'll cover when to use which (Designer vs. Visual Studio) and some advanced techniques like leveraging Info Path for custom workflow development.

Cheers! And I hope to see you there!!
