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

“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.
