I had a great time speaking again at Tulsa TechFest 2009. I gave my intro talk on Enterprise Search again, but this time I updated it to talk about features upcoming in SharePoint 2010. My slides are attached at the bottom of this post. ...
@SPKyle let work get in the way of his speaking gig, so I get to fill his spot this year. :-) I’m going to be giving my intro talk on Enterprise Search. This is a good talk for anyone that isn’t very familiar with what Enterprise Search can...
Shared Services Provider. Gone! The concept of the SSP is no more. It has been replaced with a new concept called the Services Architecture. Your SharePoint installation will not have a separate SSP site like you had in the past...
The developer dashboard is a great new feature that developers can use to aid them in tuning performance on a page. This new functionality adds information to the bottom of any page in SharePoint that displays performance information and what SQL...
This is already starting to be an interesting topic, so I wanted to post about it. We’ll start with the facts. SharePoint 2010 only runs on 64 bit operating systems In the past, SharePoint developers have pretty much always had to develop in a virtual...
SharePoint 2010 brings a few new master pages that you may want to know about. There are additional master pages to accommodate both the old and new versions of UI. There are also some simplified pages to take note in. The first master page...
With MOSS 2007, I often got asked what order do I install these solution packages in. Oftentimes, it was critical that they get installed in a particular order. With features, we have had the ability to set dependencies, but we really didn...

If you are like me when you get a new product, you look at every possible little thing you can find to see what’s new or different. That’s why I post this today because I figured you might be interested in what the databases might looks like in...
With MOSS, it seemed like most web part developers tended to avoid changing the version of their DLL, because it lead to numerous headaches as you had to update the .webpart file. You also had to update any page that you might have the web part...
