windsor — Sat, 17 Jan 2009 13:25:00 GMT

It is that time of year again - the Toronto SharePoint Camp taking place next Saturday at Manulife Financial (200 Bloor Street - between Yonge and Jarvis) . This free event is organized by the people from the Toronto SharePoint User Group and will be of interest to developers, administrators, and end-users alike.

I'll be doing two developer talks:
- SharePoint 2007: A Developers Primer, and
- Building SharePoint Web Parts from A to Z

The other topics for the 2009 Camp include:
- Integrating SQL Server with MOSS,
- Social Computing with SharePoint and Silverlight,
- Advanced InfoPath Development with SharePoint, and
- MOSS Search: Why it’s not enough to just turn it on

It should be a great turnout so please visit the website and regsiter ASAP to secure your spot.

A Chicken Reviews the Toronto SharePoint Camp - Seriously

I really don't know what to say about this so I will leave it up to you to judge. I do have one warning - the illusion, so skillfully done early in the video, is shattered near the end. You may want to have your children leave the room while you watch this.
