Slides, Code, and Photos from SPTechCon San Francisco 2011

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

    Note: Updated 2/12/11 with links to both presentation materials.

    This past week I presented two sessions at SPTechCon San Francisco 2011.  The first session was “The Expanding Developer Toolbox for SharePoint 2010” which .  Thanks to all of my attendees for this session.  They had so many great questions that we ran out of time before covering all of the planned material.  Especially for them I’ve provided the slides and code samples to walk through them on their own.

The second session was “Real World Deployment of SharePoint 2007 Solutions”.  In talking with attendees before the session many were looking for 2007 content.  At the conference SharePoint 2010 was represented much more heavily than 2007, so I was glad to fill a need in the community.

Side Trips

Aside from the conference itself I also got to take a few side trips during the nights.  A special thanks to Dux Raymond Sy (Twitter) for organizing a Mongolian Hot Pot dinner on Monday (see pictures) and Michael Noel (Twitter) for organizing a Korean bbq dinner on Tuesday (again see pictures).  These were both new experiences for me and I thoroughly enjoyed the time with friends and trying something new.  Another thanks to Mark Miller (Twitter) for giving a personal tour around various sites of San Fran to myself and a few others.  It was great hearing the backstory of different neighborhoods and buildings from someone who had lived in the area for years.  Overall a great addition to the conference itself.

Conclusion

This is the 3rd SPTechCon I’ve attended and the conference is getting better with each iteration.  The fine folks at BZ Media should be proud of the effort they’ve put in.  The next SPTechCon will be in Boston in June.  As of right now I won’t be attending that one but I highly recommend anyone to go if you have the chance.

Description:

The addition of PowerShell support, Microsoft’s highly customizable scripting language, for SharePoint 2010 was widely applauded by the global SharePoint community as it would provide administrators and system integrators with a valuable tool to enhance their ability to manage and deploy SharePoint environments . With SSMM PowerShell can be used to auto-generates scripts that can be easily customized to accommodate complex migration tasks and provide more fine grained control over all aspects of a SharePoint project. During this webinar Brian Jackett from Sogeti and Steve Cawood, SharePoint MVP and Metalogix Director of Support and Community will discuss and demonstrate how PowerShell combined with Metalogix Migration Manager products can be used to scale and customize various tasks in order to easily address complex migration scenarios.

Slides, Scripts, and Photos from SPTechCon Boston 2010

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

A big thank you to everyone who attended my “Real-World Deployment of SharePoint 2010 Solutions” at SPTechCon Boston 2010 this week.  I hope you learned some things and can take them back to improve your farms.  This was my first time speaking at SPTechCon and second one attended.  It was great to catch up with countless old friends I haven’t seen in awhile as well as meet new friends.  I’m looking forward to speaking at SPTechCon San Francisco 2011 in Feb, so if you’re attending feel free to stop by one of my sessions.  Registration has already begun, but you can get a discount for registering early.  Based on Boston selling out this year I would recommend registering sooner rather than later to ensure your spot.

On a side note, special thanks to a few of my attendees who after hearing that I really like frogs recommended I stop by Frog Pond at Boston Commons while in town.  Thankfully I was able to swing by on my way to the airport for a few minutes.  Unfortunately the pond was closed for maintenance, but I was able to get my picture taken with a few of the frog statues in the area (see album below).  Yet another unique experience to have while traveling to different cities.
