Speaking at SharePoint Saturday Baltimore

I have the privilege yet again to join a great group of speakers and attendees in Baltimore on July 25th, 2009, to once again speak at SharePoint Saturday.

If you are unfamiliar with SharePoint Saturday, it is a free event that covers a wide range of areas within SharePoint: end user, architect, developer, administrator, and there will even be a SharePoint 101 track to help those new to SharePoint learn the basics.

There is a great lineup of speakers set so far, including Adam Macaulay, Dan Lewis, Dan Usher, Dux Raymond Sy, Eric Harlan, Errin O’Connor, Joel Oleson, Michael Noel, Mike Watson, Shadeed Eleazer, and more! Visit this page for the complete listing of speakers: http://www.sharepointsaturday.org/baltimore/Pages/speakers.aspx

Registration is set to open within a few weeks, and I will post any updates here regarding the event as I receive them, once it is open, and you are in the area, I highly suggest you attend if you can!

If you are not in the Baltimore area, do not worry. There are other SharePoint Saturday events scheduled around North America, and now, the world! Below are links to the other currently scheduled SharePoint Saturday events:

• SharePoint Saturday Charlotte – Saturday, June 20th, 2009

• SharePoint Saturday Toronto – Saturday, July 11th, 2009

• SharePoint Saturday Ozarks – Saturday, July 18th, 2009

• SharePoint Saturday Sydney – Saturday, August 8th, 2009

• SharePoint Saturday Copenhagen – Saturday, August 22nd, 2009

I will be delivering an updated version of my presentation that I had delivered in Boston for SharePoint Saturday, “Introduction to Developing Custom Actions within SharePoint”. Custom Actions control features in SharePoint such as the Edit Control Block, the Site Actions menu, toolbars, and the links within the Site Settings page. Learn how to leverage Custom Actions to extend the SharePoint User Interface. This session will describe the basics of Custom Actions, a demonstration to build one or more and apply them to a site in SharePoint, as well as provide resources for additional information

There are currently 4 demonstrations planned throughout the session, and possibly an additional demonstration if I can fit it in.

As per my Boston presentation, I will post all slide-decks, code samples, and answers to questions on my blog here within a few days following the Baltimore event.

Looking forward to meeting up with some friends, and meeting some new ones at this event. Hope to see you there!
