New Horizons Bulgaria: "Sharepoint 2007 for Internet Sites"

Yesterday evening I had a presentation about "Sharepoint 2007 for Sharepoint Sites" in front of 40 persons. This was a part of consecution of free evening seminars, sponsored by New Horizons and Microsoft.

SUGBG has been launched

Sharepoint User Group Bulgaria has been launched this evening! More than 60 persons gather together in hotel Vega for the Sahil Malik's presentation "Get Rich Quick! Creating Rich UIs in SharePoint". It was very interesting, with demonstrations how to host WCF service in Sharepoint and how to consume it from custom field control! The next SUGBG meeting was scheduled for 14 Jan 09.

Advanced Certification for Office Sharepoint Server 2007

Microsoft annonunced the Master certification program for MOSS 2007. Details are here:

Microsoft Certified Master: Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007

My opinion about the prerequisites is that they are very strange!?! Why is necessary to have an experience to SPS 2003 or MCMS 2002 if a man wants to be MCM for MOSS 2007?

Andrew Connell is involved as content owner and instructor for WCM.
Great news, congratulations!

SharePoint Guidance from Microsoft Patterns and Practices

I found this very useful guidance http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd203468.aspx , it helps architects and developers design, build, test, deploy and upgrade SharePoint intranet applications.

The first speaker will be Sahil Malik with his talk:

Get Rich Quick! Creating Rich UIs in SharePoint

Not your wallet silly! I am talking about creating Rich UIs. Writing rich UIs is becoming more and more necessary as users are beginning to expect and demand more out of new browsers, and powerful computers. So why should such innovation be limited in SharePoint? It isn't! But there are multiple ways to provide a rich user interface within SharePoint. In this session Sahil shows you a .NET 2.0 versus .NET 3.5 way of providing rich UIs, and compares the two and shows the specific pros and cons in a SharePoint light.


Come and listen, meet exiting and create new friends :-)
