How to use Team Foundation Server to Manage the SharePoint Life Cycle

1/6/2011 12:00 PM Mountain Time (US & Canada)

SharePoint has made tremendous impact in the enterprise for several reasons –affordability, ease of implementation, and rapid application deployment opportunities.  For these same reasons SharePoint has introduced risk in the organization because effective development practices are not viewed as necessary or useful for SharePoint deployments.  SharePoint is a powerful platform for Rapid Application Development (RAD) and often has an even shorter lifecycle than traditional RAD projects.   In this session we will discuss and demonstrate the role that TFS plays in the effective management of SharePoint implementations and custom development.  Requirements, testing, version control, and deployment of custom features for SharePoint will be demonstrated using TFS and VS 2010.

SharePoint journeys

Have you heard? We launched a unique online video contest called SharePoint journeys, which is a platform for our customers and partners to tell us where they are on their SharePoint “journey,” as well as the unique ways they’ve used SharePoint to enhance their organizations. http://www.sharepointjourneys.com. Through these videos, we want SharePoint professionals to share and review their work, inspire each other to think about SharePoint in new ways, and take the next step on their journey. Right now the site only allows for submissions, but as videos come in we will turn on the interactive pieces of the site that will allow for social media sharing, commenting on videos, and the ability to embed videos into personal blogs.

How to use Team Foundation Server to Manage the SharePoint Life Cycle

2/3/2011 12:00 PM Mountain Time (US & Canada)

SharePoint has made tremendous impact in the enterprise for several reasons –affordability, ease of implementation, and rapid application deployment opportunities.  For these same reasons SharePoint has introduced risk in the organization because effective development practices are not viewed as necessary or useful for SharePoint deployments.  SharePoint is a powerful platform for Rapid Application Development (RAD) and often has an even shorter lifecycle than traditional RAD projects.   In this session we will discuss and demonstrate the role that TFS plays in the effective management of SharePoint implementations and custom development.  Requirements, testing, version control, and deployment of custom features for SharePoint will be demonstrated using TFS and VS 2010.

TechNet Webcast: Deploying Enterprise Workloads on Microsoft Virtualization (Level 200)

Wednesday, March 02, 2011 10:00 AM

Pacific Time (US & Canada)

Duration:60 Minutes

Event ID: 1032477054

Language(s):English.

Product(s): Microsoft Hyper-V Server.

Audience(s): IT Decision Maker, IT Generalist.

Event Overview: Dynamic memory enables higher density Microsoft Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) deployments which take Hyper-V to the next level. With Windows 7 Service Pack 1 (SP1) as the guest in our lab testing, we saw a 40 percent increase in density from Windows Server 2008 R2 to SP1, simply by enabling dynamic memory. Unlike others in the marketplace, Windows 7 security can stay preserved without compromising density, and you get immediate benefit from the moment you turn on the virtual machine. There's no waiting for memory management to work or having to tweak the hypervisor with custom settings. It's an awesome out-of-box experience that performs for all workloads, not just VDI alone.

Presenter: Michael Kleef, Senior Product Manager, Microsoft Corporation

FREE Three Days of online SharePoint 2010 Developer Training March 14th to 16th

3/14/2010

The “Developing for SharePoint 2010” training is uniquely delivered over a three day period and combines instructor led sessions (delivered virtually over Live Meeting with plenty of opportunity for questions) with independent distance learning, email support and access to practical exercises. The training provides delegates with an opportunity to gain insight into the nature and benefits of SharePoint 2010 and ask plenty of questions – without leaving the comfort of their office or home. SharePoint 2010 includes many new capabilities and features for professional developers and makes developing those solutions easier, quicker, and more flexible. Much of the work that the developer had to do in the past with earlier versions of SharePoint has been replaced with simple configuration of the SharePoint 2010 platform, use of Visual Studio 2010 and SharePoint Designer 2010 or with calls to the SharePoint API. This training is intended to drill into the main opportunities for extending SharePoint 2010 with your own code and explain how to integrate existing applications with SharePoint 2010.

How to use Team Foundation Server to Manage the SharePoint Life Cycle

3/3/2011 12:00 PM Mountain Time (US & Canada)

SharePoint has made tremendous impact in the enterprise for several reasons –affordability, ease of implementation, and rapid application deployment opportunities. For these same reasons SharePoint has introduced risk in the organization because effective development practices are not viewed as necessary or useful for SharePoint deployments. SharePoint is a powerful platform for Rapid Application Development (RAD) and often has an even shorter lifecycle than traditional RAD projects. In this session we will discuss and demonstrate the role that TFS plays in the effective management of SharePoint implementations and custom development. Requirements, testing, version control, and deployment of custom features for SharePoint will be demonstrated using TFS and VS 2010.

TechNet Webcast: Search-Driven Internet Sites: Increase Relevancy, Lower Overall Costs (Level 200)

3/8/2011 1:00 PM Pacific Time (US & Canada)

Traditional content management server (CMS) and taxonomy-driven applications are becoming less relevant, with Bing, Google, and other applications redefining our expectations of information retrieval and user experience. Many companies are struggling to keep their Internet sites fresh, interesting, and accessible. Microsoft FAST Search Server for Internet (FSIS) helps website developers maintain an overall vision for the websites while meeting individual visitor's needs with higher levels of personalization and targeted content delivery. During this webcast, we discuss FSIS, Content Transformation Services (CTS) and Interaction Management Services (IMS) and demonstrate a real-life project using FSIS for a cutting-edge global extranet for one of the world's leading financial institutions.

MMS 2011, SYSTEM CENTER 2012 AND MORE...

We’re having a great week at a sold-out MMS 2011 in Las Vegas! To say it’s a busy week would be a huge understatement. Honestly, there’s so much happening, I can’t blog about all these topics and begin to do any of them justice. So I’m going to provide a high level description with links to the details. Trust me--you’re going to want to check this out in depth. I’ll cover Target Corporations’ virtualization success, System Center 2012—including System Center Virtual Machine Manager (VMM) 2012 beta, System Center Advisor beta, System Center Configuration Manager 2012 beta—and the release of Windows Intune.

How to use Team Foundation Server to Manage the SharePoint Life Cycle

4/14/2011 12:00 PM Time zone: (GMT-07:00) Mountain Time (US & Canada)

SharePoint has made tremendous impact in the enterprise for several reasons –affordability, ease of implementation, and rapid application deployment opportunities.  For these same reasons SharePoint has introduced risk in the organization because effective development practices are not viewed as necessary or useful for SharePoint deployments.  SharePoint is a powerful platform for Rapid Application Development (RAD) and often has an even shorter lifecycle than traditional RAD projects.   In this session we will discuss and demonstrate the role that TFS plays in the effective management of SharePoint implementations and custom development.  Requirements, testing, version control, and deployment of custom features for SharePoint will be demonstrated using TFS and VS 2010.
