This is the Million Dollar Cube. He a graphic designer by trade so hence the funky look and feel of the cube.

SharePoint RDN free training event

8 10 2008

clip_image001

Can you believe it has been almost 2 months since our last RDN. How time flies when you are having fun.

With Jeremy Thake starting over the last 6 weeks as a Senior Consultant based in Perth we thought it was timely to hold a RDN with a SharePoint flavour. We also ran our first MOSS 2007 course locally over the past couple of weeks and it looks like we will be running another one sometime over the next month due to increasing demand.

In the mean time, this is a great FREE way to get some exposure to some quality Readify presentations around SharePoint. It’s also a great opportunity for all you .Net Dev people to get a bit of an understanding into what everyone is talking about around SharePoint.

The RDN is in our usual location, but we have had to change the day in order to get a room. It is now on Wednesday evening not Thursday. We have also taken the feedback onboard about the arrival time of the Pizza’s. These will turn after the presentations so that we can get started as close to 5.30pm as possible.

So come along, meet your peers, learn something new, and have some pizza all for FREE.

As always, if you think someone else may find this of value please feel free to forward it onto them.

Kind regards, Andy

October RDN | Perth

Wednesday 29 October 2008, 5:30pm – 7:30pm

Cliftons, Australia Place, Corner St George’s Terrace & William Street, Perth

ReadiPrimer Topic:

ReadiPrimer sessions offer a snapshot view on specific developer technologies delivered.  Each ReadiPrimer session runs for approximately 30 minutes.

“Getting Started with MS SharePoint”

Presented By Hadley Willan, Senior Developer, Readify

MS SharePoint is a large application framework providing many out-of-the-box benefits and is geared toward customisation.  If you’ve been daunted by how to get in to SharePoint and what benefits SharePoint can provide, then this ReadiPrimer is for you.

Hadley Willan will introduce the SharePoint technology. This will cover summaries about Windows SharePoint Services (WSS) and Microsoft Office SharePoint Server (MOSS), v3.0 vs. v2.0, what SharePoint can provide, how to identify when to apply SharePoint and getting started in SharePoint 3.0 technologies.

ReadiDepth Topic:

ReadiDepth sessions are in-depth presentations for a specific technology.  Each session is presented by a Readify Senior Consultant or Developer who is an expert in their field.  ReadiDepth sessions bring you the most advanced and up-to-the-minute technology previews and technical sessions available in the country. 

“SharePoint Development Best Practices”

Presented by Jeremy Thake, Senior Consultant, Readify

SharePoint is an extremely powerful Platform that Developers can leverage to kick start their projects. With all technologies there is the right way, the wrong way and the grey area in the middle. A lot of the Best Practice areas learnt in ASP.NET can be applied to SharePoint such as: environment configuration; source control; automated build scripts; team development; code manageability; code analysis; and more.

SharePoint also has multiple approaches to achieving the same end functionality and some may seem easy on the surface but are hard to enforce standards and repeatability. Key concepts discussed will include: InfoPath vs. ASP.NET Forms; Site Features vs. Site Templates; SharePoint Designer Workflows vs. Visual Studio Workflows; and more.

Jeremy will present some lessons learnt from real world scenarios and also some key Best Practices to adhere to in your Development Teams.

Living in Perth does have its advantages….

23 09 2008

It’s been a while since I blogged and decided to just take the opportunity to start again after a short break.

Over the past 4 weeks I have had a couple of interstate trips, one to the Microsoft Partner conference in Port Douglas (10 hours travel each way) and one to TechEd in Sydney (5 hours travel each way) and to be honest it took a fair bit out of me.

Getting back to Perth and back into it again does have is advantages. It is a fantastic day today, going to reach 24 apparently and I am currently catching up on my blogging whilst overlooking the glorious Indian Ocean which is a glorious turquoise colour at the moment.

Now back onto catching up on things and letting you all know what is happening in Perth in the lead up to Christmas.





SharePoint training in Perth

25 08 2008

To address the wider ongoing SharePoint skills shortage in Perth Readify will be running our Professional MOSS 2007 course locally between 23-26th September. This is a fantastic opportunity to get a couple of developers onto this course to help build your own capabilities around SharePoint, who will then be able to deliver more SharePoint solutions for your organization or clients.

This course has a slightly different focus than other SharePoint training courses in Perth as it is more focused around the Architecture and Development skills required for delivering SharePoint solutions. Other training courses tend to focus on the administration of SharePoint. See link for info on the Readify course.

Places are limited, so help your clients to please book ASAP.

If you want to talk to me about group discounts or private courses then give me a call.
