Speaking at the SharePoint Technology Conference 2010 in Boston

I received the “official” news yesterday from David Rubenstein, that I have been confirmed to speak at The SharePoint Technology Conference in Boston this October 20th – 22nd, at the Hyatt Regency Cambridge, in Cambridge, MA (it’s basically Boston). I will be joined by many other fantastic speakers, more on those to come as more conference information becomes available. In addition to delivering my own session “Creating Custom Actions in SharePoint” (more on that below), I will also be delivering a session with my good friend Mark Rackley, entitled “Just Freakin’ Work! Avoiding common hurdles in SharePoint Custom Development”. See below for information on both of those sessions…

Creating Custom Actions in 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.

Just Freakin’ Work! Avoiding common hurdles in SharePoint Custom Development
“Why am I getting a security error??” “Why does my code work sometimes, but not others?” “I wonder if McDonalds is hiring.” Writing custom code in SharePoint opens up unlimited possibilities but also throws many hurdles in your way that will slow you down if you don’t take them into account. So, before giving up and searching for careers in the fast food industry, equip yourself with the knowledge you need to succeed in writing custom code for SharePoint.

So, join us in October for a great soon-to-be-announced line-up of speakers, sessions, classes, and vendors in Boston! For more information, please visit The SharePoint Technology Conference website at http://www.sptechcon.com
