I'm having a blast being in the Seattle area - wish I had more time to enjoy the people and the area..... busy, busy time in my career..... Anyway, here is my presentation I gave on dashboards at SharePoint Saturday, Redmond. If you attended my session, thank you and I hope you got something out of it. 7/30/2010Thanks to all who attended my presentation at SharePoint Saturday, New York City. I hope it provided some value to you. Click here to download the slide deck. Remeber, the JavaScript to "lite up" the embeded HTML in a list is in the Notes section of the last slide. 5/13/2010
Wow, more than 24 hours before my presentation and my slide deck is ready! This may be a first for me! (ok, ok - so I have given this presentation once before, but I've updated it for SharePoint 2010 release!)
Anyway, if you're looking for my slide deck from SharePoint Saturday, DC on May 15th, click here! The presentation is on using PowerShell for both MOSS and WSS V3 and SharePoint 2010. It's an introductory level talk. ( Note: Updated May 14th around 11:15 EST) 4/9/2010I'm very lucky to have been asked to speak at the SQL Saturday in Richmond, VA on April 10th! I've been pretty scarce in the SQL community as I've buried myself in the SharePoint world for so long! It'll be nice to hang with good friends in the SQL community again. If anyone would like my presentation materials, please click here. The zip file includes my PowerPoint deck, sample scripts and the LogParser 2.2. install file. The presentation was about parsing system data into SQL Server and building reports against it with SQL Server Reproting Services - kind of a roll your own monitoring system. Hope some of you will find it usefull. 3/30/2010Yesterday, Monday, March 29th, was my first day at Microsoft! I can't tell you how excited I am to be part of this amazing company! I will still work out of the Hampton Roads area (Norfolk / Va Beach) - as a part of the Federal Services Group, focusing on USN and USMC. That's where my experience is so I'm hoping I can help continue to bring great techincal solutions to our military services.
I plan to remain involved in community events, so those who are used to seeing me at SharePoint Satrudays, Code Camps and user groups will still see me around. How much I'm able to attend remains to be seen and will depend upon how much traveling I'll have to do in my new capacity.
Here's to a new beginning - I hope I can help make a difference! 3/16/2010
Thanks to all who came out on St Patty's day for the Western North Carolina SharePoint User Group last night! I enjoyed meeting with you all.
Update: Guy Davis figured out what was wrong with our Group Totals javascript that depended upon jQuery which only worked when pasted into the source of the Content Editor Web Part. There were non-ASCII characters in the text file that made the code not work when referenced as an external link. Guy fixed the file and I've included his correction in the DBScripts zip file (see below for link). I've also added a script that uses jQuery and jQUery-UI to resize a web page vewer web part. All of the additional jQuery files are inow included in the DBScripts zip file below.

OK everyone - please note - it's BEFORE the actual Code Camp (March 13, 2010) AND I've already got my slide decks posted! That's a record for me!
Thanks to everyone who attended my sessions. I hope you got something out of them.
So my big announcement is that I've accepted a position with Microsoft! I'm very excited about this change in my career path. I feel like I've been a cheerleader for many years, and now I'm going to be "on the team", so to speak. I'll post more details later when everything is finalized.
This will mean the end of Lennon Technologies. I'm not sure what I'll do about this WSS site which includes my blog - which is addressed by my LennonTechnologies domain name. Time will tell.
If this site has to go away, then thanks to those who've been following. 3/2/2010I know I've sort of dropped of the radar - I'm in between contracts and so am busy arranging my next assignment(s).
Meanwhile, here's where I'm going to be - and where I've been recently.
The week of 22 February I was lucky enough to assist Todd Bleeker of Mindsharp in delivery of his SharePoint 2010 Beta Development course. SharePoint 2010 and all Microsoft has done in Visual Studio 2010 to assist development for SharePoint is VERY exciting! Makes me want to be a developer again! Who knows - maybe I will... In addition to a week of jam-packed content, the evenings were full hanging out with the NoVa crowd at a handful of SharePints. Thanks to Dan Usher for arranging all those - great times.
I'm going to be using some of what I learned in Todd's class in a talk I'll be doing at the Roanoke Code Camp scheduled for Saturday, March 13th. I'll speak on customizing the branding of a SharePoint 2010 with user controls built in Visual Studio 2010. I'll also be talking on using PowerShell to manage SharePoint - both the current version and 2010.
I'll also be speaking at the Richmond Code Camp - think it's something on SharePoint and Visual Studio 2010 - need to double check on what I submitted!
I also attendded the SharePoint Tech Conference in San Francisco the week of February 9th. I can't wait to get working on SharePoint 2010 deployments! Between the conference in Vegas, San Francisco and Todd's 2010 Dev course, I'm itching to get working on some 2010 implementations.
I haven't made any SHarePoint Saturdays recently - since our local one here in Va Beach on Jan 9th. I may make the one in Charlotte on April 10th - it depends upon where I land for my next work assignment. We'll see....
Hope to see you all somewhere at a future SharePoint event. |
