Brian T. Jackett Conference/Tech Event, Presentation

   In a few weeks I’ll be speaking at SharePoint Saturday Cincinnati as well as Dog Food Con.  I’ve spoken at both conferences in the past and am excited to be accepted to speak at both again.  If you are in the Ohio area and can attend I highly recommend registering.  Here are the abstracts for both sessions and hope to see you in my session if you can join.

Title: PowerShell for Your SharePoint Tool Belt

Abstract: PowerShell is becoming the command line interface for all Microsoft server products including SharePoint. If you haven’t started using PowerShell you will want to add it to your set of tools in your tool belt. In this demo heavy session we will show tips and tricks for using the PowerShell console and ISE, traverse through all sites in a farm, create reports, and create a secure remote connection with whitelisted commands through constrained endpoints. We will also cover some of the more intermediate to advanced techniques available within PowerShell that will improve your work efficiency. This session is targeted to administrators and developers and assumes a basic familiarity with PowerShell.

Title: Running Your Dev / Test VMs in Azure for Cheap

Abstract: With an MSDN subscription you can run your dev / test SharePoint environment in Azure IaaS for less than the cost of a cup of coffee each day. In this session we will overview the basics of Azure IaaS (Infrastructure as a Service), the pieces you will use to be successful deploying SharePoint in Azure (including the new Azure Resource Manager templates), and how to use resources as efficiently as possible to reduce your costs and boost your farm performance. This session is targeted to SharePoint developers and administrators. Prior knowledge of Azure is helpful but not a requirement.

Slides and Scripts from DogFood Conference 2014

Brian T. Jackett Conference/Tech Event, PowerShell, Presentation, SharePoint

   I was pleased to once again speak at the Dog Food Conference here in Columbus, OH.  I believe this is the 3rd year that I have spoken and the 4th or 5th year that I have attended.  The venue has moved to a more spacious location which definitely helped with giving attendees, speakers, and vendors more room to spread out,  I was especially happy to meet up with dozens of previous customers and co-workers at the conference.  This really is a great mix of audiences (developers, IT pros, and business users), customer segments, and topics (SharePoint, .Net, PowerShell, BI, ALM, and more).

   Thanks to everyone who attended my session at the very end of the last day of the conference.  We had a number of good side discussions and questions throughout the presentation.  Below are my slides and scripts.

   It has been a couple years since I last attended / spoke at Dog Food Conference, but on Nov 21-22, 2013 I’ll be speaking at Dog Food Conference 2013 here in Columbus, OH.  For those of you confused by the name of the conference (no it’s not about dog food), read up on the concept of dogfooding .  This conference has a history of great sessions from local and regional speakers and I look forward to being a part of it once again.  Registration is now open (registration link) and is expected to sell out quickly.  Reserve your spot today.

 

Title: The Evolution of Social in SharePoint

Audience and Level: IT Pro / Architect, Intermediate

Abstract: Activities, newsfeed, community sites, following… these are just some of the big changes introduced to the social experience in SharePoint 2013. This class will discuss the evolution of the social components since SharePoint 2010, the architecture (distributed cache, microfeed, etc.) that supports the social experience, Yammer integration, and proper planning considerations when deploying social capabilities (personal sites, SkyDrive Pro and distributed cache). This session will include demos of the social newsfeed, community sites, and mentions. Attendees should have an intermediate knowledge of SharePoint 2010 or 2013 administration.
