SharePoint 2010 Sneak Peek Videos

July 13th, 2009 No comments

As you may know already, a couple of hours ago Microsoft announced three new sneak peek videos to give you a quick overview of the value proposition for “SharePoint 2010“ along with *some* of the new features and enhancements targetted at end users, developers and IT pros. Sneak peek preview is the second big offical announcement about the new product (See the first one here). A good portion of the sneak peek videos was allocated to where my passion goes : Data Integration!

Note: Some of the features presented in the sneak peak videos are subject to change by the time the final release comes out.

MVP Renewed for Office SharePoint Server Again!

July 1st, 2009 4 comments

Got the mail today with the great news that I got awarded for the forth time with the MVP Award. Looks like that my community works during 2008 were enough for Microsoft to renew my MVP status.

This is just an awesome way to start my Canada day!

I will be presenting at Security Education Conference 2009

May 27th, 2009 No comments

SecTor is Canada’s premier IT Security Education Conference and training which is held annually in Toronto. In nutshell, SecTor sheds light on the underground threats and mischief that threaten corporate and personal IT systems.

I am pleased to announce that I will be presenting a SharePoint-focused session at this conference that is titled Security and Application Development in SharePoint and below is the description:

SharePoint goes a long way toward providing a robust security model right out of the box, and it also allows organizations to maintain their own sets of compliance requirements and information security policies. Although the SharePoint platform is secure, you are still responsible for making your applications secure. You must follow security best practices throughout the design and development stages of your business solutions built on the top of this great platform. In this session learn some of the security recommendations that makes your application more secure.

Introduction

Office SharePoint Designer 2007 allows you to smoothly integrate your information into a SharePoint site by giving you the ability to combine HTML design elements with the XSLT data transformation, all in a single design interface. It also offers an amazing support for the Data Form Web Part (a.k.a DFWP) that can be utilized to build rich, powerful forms much easier than ever. Data Form Web Parts can take advantage of sending additional input parameters either in query string or Web Part connections. This is extremely helpful to drive dynamic changes in the content that is surfaced on your SharePoint pages and experience an interactive interface using a composite no-code solution.
