SORT ‘09 Conference Presentations

For those that were able to attend the SORT conference last month, sorry for the delay in getting this code available to you, but hopefully it was worth the wait!

Aaron and I appreciated the kind words in the feedback forms… Overall, the four sessions averaged a 8.5 rating, with our “Design” session getting over 9.0!  Thanx again!

So here is the presentation and my demo notes for the “SharePoint Development without code” session.  Included is the source for Todd Bleeker’s Style Under Cursor javascript.  Check out his site, he’s got a lot of other great helps for both developer and power users.

Here is the “Design” session.  I’ve included the presentation, as well as a copy of the minimal master from Heather Solomon, and the customized master page with it’s CSS that we worked on in the demo.  Feel free to use it, modifying it, whatever… it’s yours!

In the Web Services demo, we went through a LOT of material… On of the feedback rightly said that this would have been better served over a few hours rather than 45 minutes, and rightfully so!  I’ve included the presentation and all the source code we looked at, both the Custom Web Service and the Web Service consumer.  You will need to add the Microsoft.SharePoint.dll file to the External References folder to compile the code.  You can get this out of either the free MS WSS 3.0 download or from a MOSS 2007 installation.

We ended up not giving the Web Parts demo, as the majority of the audience was actually not development staff, and so held an ad-hoc Q&A session, talking mostly about possible solutions to specific challenges, namely Data View Web Part utilization, 3rd party add-ins, and List View Views and filtering.  For those interested, here is the presentation.  It also includes the code for a SQL server Web Part Viewer.  Again, you’ll need to add the Microsoft.SharePoint.dll file to External References.

Hope you enjoy, and thanx for participating in a great Conference!
