SharePoint TechDives November 2009 Update
We'd like to give a big thanks to all of you that helped put together and participated in the SharePoint Tech Dive last Wednesday. We opened registration for 30 attendees and reached full capacity within a few days of the announcement. Of course not all who registered where able to attend; for those of you who missed the opportunity, we will be posting the lab manual along with a video of how to build a similar Feature for SharePoint 2010 within the next several days... so stay tuned.
The event itself was a big success. During the session we discussed several aspects of SharePoint Features, including preferred development tools and approaches, different types of Features, adding "SharePoint Feature Intellisense" to Visual Studio, and managed to squeeze in a SharePoint 2010 Feature development demo. The group dynamic was very open with just about everyone participating.
Topic Suggestions
Registration for the December event will be opening soon, but we have yet to choose a topic. It has always been our intention to have the attendees participate in choosing the topic of the next event via nominations and a vote at the end of every session. But time flies while you are having fun and our meeting went over by 10 to 15 minutes, not allowing for enough time to choose the next topic as a group. As a result, you are all being given the opportunity to partake in the selection of the topic of the next SharePoint Tech Dive; simply submit your suggestion via e-mail to info@sptechdives.com.
Have a great evening and thank you for your support!
