Among the multitude of conferences that cover SharePoint, there is one which focuses on the Best Practices in SharePoint. Now that is a definite big plus in my mind since there are so many ways to build solutions the wrong way in SharePoint . Mindsharp and Summit7 systems are the ones putting together this conference in Washington DC, Aug 24 – 27, 2010.

I’m planning on presenting the following subjects at this conference:

How and where do I deploy my InfoPath 2010 forms to get the most bang for the buck?

Creating SharePoint List Forms – When to use InfoPath 2010 or SharePoint Designer 2010

In addition, I’ll be participating in the Ask the Experts session as well. Hope to see You there!

SharePoint Designer 2010 Webinar Recording

May 19

Asif RehmaniEvents No Comments

On Thursday, May 13th, we conducted a webinar on Making the Best use of SharePoint Designer 2010. In this webinar, I started with an explanation of why you would want to use SPD 2010 instead of the browser to create your site components. Then I dug deeper into showing how you can create powerful workflows. Then the last thing I demonstrated was how easy it is to fetch data from a database and show on a SharePoint page. Along the way, there were many good questions that attendees asked and I attempted to answer as many as I could in the allotted time.

Due to overwhelming request, we decided to record the webinar and make it available to everyone. You can watch the recording in its entirety here:

This webinar recording will be available for everyone until May 26th. It will then be moved to the subscribers only area.

Got SharePoint Questions? We (hopefully…) have the Answers!

Apr 21

You know the feeling when you go to a conference and you want to talk to the presenters and just ask him/her one of those burning questions you have…? Well, now you can! Microsoft is holding a couple of SharePoint 2010 Q&A sessions where you can ask any question you like. On the other end, there will be a dozen or so SharePoint MVPs (including myself) who will try to field those questions. If we know the answer, we’ll help you out. If not… well, you can always contact many of us through email or ask your question in the forum. In any case, it’s definitely worth checking out the MSDN chat sessions.

First one will be on April 27, 2010 7pm – 8pm (Eastern) and the second one is on April 28, 2010 12pm – 1pm (Eastern).

Aside from SharePoint, there are many other MSDN chats being held. You can check out the whole schedule here:
