I have been working on a project with Coskun and Jacob for the last three months that has kept my writing more in Microsoft Office Word than this blog!
Finally, it looks like our book titled “Professional Microsoft SharePoint 2007 Reporting with SQL Server 2008 Reporting Services” is available through Amazon web site. It will probably head off to the printer first week of August, and Amazon.com is now taking pre-orders for it.
Writing a book was an absolutely new experience for me. I always love big projects , but this was the weiredest one that I’ve ever taken on.The process was much longer than I expected it to be , but as with any other projects in life when it was completed I was beside myself with joy! It is nice to feel like the book is finally really and truly out there! Woo hoo!!
Update 23/March/2010:I have gone through the book , page by page, and took some notes about the things that might have been changed in SharePoint 2010 and SSRS 2008 R2 integration. I’m pleased to announce that 95% of the material presented in this book is still applicable to the most recent wave of SharePoint and Reporting Services products. I’ll publish a more detailed change log soon. Thanks/Reza Alirezaei
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.

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!

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.
