My goal is to share with you some of the tips, tricks, and
lessons I've learned building enterprise solutions to business problems using
SharePoint, C#, Visual Studio, Workflow, and the Office Business Platform.
What a terrific company Neudesic is! I get a steady stream of
challenging engagements to work on. Derek Drennan is a terrific boss. Just
today I got confirmation that Noam Topaz has joined Neudesic as a Director of
SharePoint Solutions for out region (Pacific Northwest). And to think, just
three years ago he was trying to hire me!
Here at at Neudesic we have quite a number of interesting
initiatives going on. The Portals and Collaboration practice is working on a
major upgrade of our system for capturing and re-using Intellectual Capital. We
are capturing accelerators, code and procedures that we turn around and use to
build better solutions to common problems our clients run into. This IC-capture
system faces all the classic challenges faced by knowledge management systems,
including ease of use, searchability, and user adoption.
Just a few weeks back Simeon Cathey -- the General Manager
of our Portals and Collaboration Practice -- led our huge presence at the
SharePoint Conference 2011 in Anaheim.
Our Mobility practice is going great guns, with very
interesting developments in the intersection of Cloud, Mobility, and
SharePoint.
The Custom Application Development practice is leading the
whole Microsoft Business Partner community into the Cloud/Azure world with user
groups, sample programs, and training opportunities.
Just last week I joined a company-wide campaign to with
other consultants in the Custom App Dev practice to learn HTML 5. We're a bit
dismayed at having to learn yet another language (I was just getting the hang
of jQuery) but now that I'm seeing what I can do in the markup without any
code, I'm convinced this is an endeavor worthy of my investment.
I'll need a couple of weeks to post my SharePoint best
practices here but I am really looking forwards to it. I have quite a long
backlog of useful and helpful tips and code snippets I want to share. I just
have to factor out the most useful, bloggable pieces and test to make sure they
will work for you. Stay tuned.
