I’ll be presenting a session (the only SharePoint session) at Energize IT 2008 in Toronto on 24 of May.
Here is my session:
Provide Access to Business Data Securely and Manageably by Layering SharePoint on top of you Backend Systems
Are you looking for a complete and easy view ,within your SharePoint sites , into all of your data sitting in various backend systems? What if you could manage security and search to your backend systems in ONE single UI? How about creating a single API for your developers to access your Line of Business applications? Did you know that with SharePoint new composite no-code features, you no longer have to be a developer to build a solution?
In this presentation, you will learn how to layer SharePoint on the top of your backend system to improve security , manageability and access to business critical data. We will discuss Business Data Catalog, InfoPath forms, Data Form Web Part and third party solutions that can help you quickly and efficiently interact with your backend systems.
I hope to see you there.
First, thanks to everyone who attended my sessions at DevTeach international developers conference, being held in Toronto this year. I really enjoyed interacting with you and I hope you also walked away from my sessions with some take aways. I’d also like to thank Nick Swan [MVP] from Lightning Tools for allowing me to reuse couple slides of his presentation at Office Developer Conference 2008.
As promised here are the links and resources that I used during the presentation.
I am in urgent need of a Graphic Designer with experience in SharePoint for couple of my remote projects. Yes, you don’t have to be physically on site which God knows how much this is worth in Toronto’s crazy traffic. All you need to do is to meet me once in a blue moon in the Tim Horton location next to my house 🙂 , the rest will be via emails and phone conversations . You will be working with 2 more SharePoint Designers (fully on remote basis) on these projects.
This position is a one year contract and I am looking *immediately* to fill it. Is this the sort of thing that would interest you or someone you know? Feel free to forward a Word version of your resume with a synopsis of your skill set to [myfirstname] at devhorizon dot com, also please include your rate per hour. Thanks !
We have 2 weeks left before show time so in case you haven’t registered yet, you’d better do it NOW until it is completely full. I will be presenting in two sessions in this event and I hope this is another chance for me to meet fantastic people we have in Toronto’s SharePoint community. I am really looking forward to it. Here are some cool things happening in this event.

Lawrence has said everything here, but I’d like to add one simple sentence: He is the right person to own the MVP program (That’s it!).
