SharePoint Saturday Virginia Beach event is currently having Call for Speakers and looking for sessions for all tracks (Administration, Development, Design, Architecture and End User). The current list of sessions already submitted is listed below.
| | | Cheap & Easy Wildcard Search for MOSS | | Everyone loves to use wildcard searches when looking for files on their PC. But when they attempt to use wildcards in SharePoint, search results come up empty. This session will teach attendees how to fix that problem, and quickly drive adoption of SharePoint search. We will discuss how to add new functionality to SharePoint Search by creating our own web user control with the Query Object Model. After we have the design and code laid out we will then create a web part using the web user control as a basis. In the end attendees should have the ability to visualize web part design and create a custom search utility in a real world business scenario.

| | | Developing and Packaging Third-Party SharePoint Solutions | | The market available for third-party SharePoint developers is relatively untapped considering the vast size of its user base. Microsoft provides us with the tools and paradigms to make custom solutions deployable across any configuration. As long as we follow some basic rules and understand what we can expect in more complex SharePoint installations, customers can expect a seamless, professional deployment experience and support calls can be minimized.
In this session, we will write a simple, custom SharePoint Feature (with some edge-case peculiarities) to highlight some of the issues you might encounter when preparing your product for release. The result will be an installation executable (none of that stsadm funny business).
After this session, attendees should be able to develop their own SharePoint Features and package them with the correct tools to provide their customers with the ability to deploy them into their environments.

| | | SharePoint as an Enterprise Development Platform | | So you stood up MOSS 2007, and maybe even put together a nice site or two for your intranet/extranet/public website… now what? SharePoint gives you an extraordinarily rich platform to serve as the foundation for all of your .NET enterprise applications. We’ll talk about several development tools built right into SharePoint, how to establish some that are missing, and how to organize your development efforts around SharePoint to maximize the return on your SharePoint investment. The intended audience for this session would be software/solutions architects and IT leadership. Due to time constraints, we will briefly cover important technical topics at a high level, many of which will be covered in more detail in other sessions. These topics will include but are not limited to Application Architecture, Team Development, Web Services/Windows Communication Foundation/Service-Oriented Architecture, custom ASP.NET application development within the SharePoint framework, and integration with existing applications.

| | | SharePoint Security Management for the Business User | | With MOSS or WSS v3 the new site collection and sub site security capabilities are astonishing but there are so many new options available that it’s really hard to truly understand what is possible and how to effectively manage security. The complexity of managing security even gets more complicated when working with sub sites because of how the screens display the security groups. This session reviews all the different options that are available and then goes into detail on how to effectively use the options with and without inheritance at the site collection and sub site level. List, Library, Folder, Item and Document level security is reviewed to finish up the session. This session uses demo’s frequently to actually show what screens and options are being talked about so everyone can get a clear picture of what is really being talked about.

| | | Tuning Memory Management in SharePoint | | When I began working with SharePoint Portal Server 2001 and SharePoint Team Services there weren’t a lot of options available for tuning anything especially memory. When SharePoint Portal Server 2003, Windows SharePoint Services, IIS 6 and SQL 2005 were available we started seeing more options for tuning SharePoint installation and it was really necessary because of the new capability of scaling out the farm and RAM limitation of Windows Server 2003 32 bit. Now with MOSS and WSS v3 having more functionality and more screens/options for performance tuning memory management has become a necessary action to make the farm run as smoothly as possible. This session shows and gets into those details on what can be done to make your farm memory management as efficient as possible. |
