maandelikse Argiewe: Desember 2008

'N Web Proxy Server probeer om my te verhoed dat die installasie van Windows Workflow Foundation, Maar ek het dit verslaan.

I’m working at a client site and needed to install windows workflow foundation so that I could so some SharePoint Designer work. (Ek het nie geweet tot vandag toe dat SPD installeer fyn, maar regtig nodig het ten minste. NET 2.0 en om Windows Workflow Foundation regtig bruikbare; Ek het altyd aanvaar is geïnstalleer saam met SPD, maar ek was verkeerd).

The client has a proxy server. No problem, I have credentials to get outside to the public Internets. I go to the usual place to download WWF (SPD hulpvaardig voorsien my met 'n skakel). That download is really a bootstrap of sorts. It runs and figures out what else it needs to download. That second download process failed. It either does not try at all, or is somehow prevented from asking for proxy server credentials. It was a pretty hard crash, gee my die boodskap:

Microsoft NET Framework. 3.0 has encountered a problem during setup. Setup did not complete successfully.

Ek het probeer om te herlaai en spandeer 10 seconds trying to figure out if I could get it to ask me for proxy server credentials. I gave up and went here instead: .NET Framework 3.5 Service Pack 1 (Volle pakket).

Ek afgelaai die pakket, geïnstalleer en hierdie keer, die probleme.

Die gebruik van Reflector op Microsoft.SharePoint.dll

Redgate .NET Reflector Michael Blumenthal het sit 'n artikel oor die waarskuwings en menings ("Which views can be used when Creating an Alert ?"), which is interesting on its own merits. Egter, I was even more interested to see how he methodically walks through the process of using Redgate’s .NET Reflector. Step by step, he shows how to use that tool track down how SharePoint determines whether a view on a list should be "subscribable" vir 'n gebrek van 'n beter woord (he explains this much better than I do 🙂 ).

Op hierdie punt in die SharePoint era, you’d almost have to be deaf and blind to have not heard or read about using that tool. It’s advanced stuff and my own sense is that it’s in many ways a tool of last resort. Egter, As jy dink dat jy dit nodig het, maar nie werklik weet hoe, Michael se skryf-up lyk soos 'n groot handleiding oor hierdie onderwerp.

SharePoint Voorspellings vir 2009

Ek het gelees 'n paar retrospectieves op 2008 and this has got me to thinking about 2009. Here are my guesses at the future of SharePoint in 2009.

Klein Disclaimer

Ek is 'n SharePoint MVP en as gevolg, I sometimes get a little advance information before it’s public. I am NOT making any such information public. I really haven’t been around long enough to be entrusted with that kind of stuff anyway.

Met dit uit die pad, op die voorspellings ...

FAST

I believe that FAST will become a very hot topic in 2009. It’s already well known in the enterprise search community. Egter, almal wat speel rond met SharePoint in 2009 will soon be interested in this product and what it can do for them. New consulting companies will spring up around it and existing partners will work and scramble to add it to its portfolio. This time next year, byna almal in die SharePoint gemeenskap sal gehoor het van en 'n mening oor FAST.

FAST is targeted at large companies and that will continue. I think there’s at least an outside chance that Microsoft will release a more focused version of the product that is accessible to smaller companies. Failing that, they will open up the SharePoint search engine so that it can be customized along the lines that FAST can be customized. Byvoorbeeld, FAST uses pipeline architecture for consuming content and indexing it. FAST admins and developers can assemble pipeline components per data source and even create new pipeline components. We don’t have this flexibility with SharePoint today. If FAST remains firmly targeted at very large companies, SharePoint soek sal neem sommige van FAST se funksies.

SharePoint V.Next

Ek glo dit sal kom in 2009.

I believe that it will provide us the ability to secure views on a list or document library. This may be more of a hope than a belief 🙂

Ek hoop dit sal 'n beter ondersteuning vir gebruikers voorsien in SharePoint Designer en veral workflow.

Ek het nie veel anders weet, I have been actively tracking what I do find here: http://delicious.com/pagalvin/SharePoint_O14.

Verskaffers sal skep Besigheid Aansoeke

Vandag, most SharePoint vendors seem to be gadget oriented. Take Bamboes of Corasworks byvoorbeeld. They have a huge following and great portfolio of products. Egter, dit lyk asof hulle soort van gadgety vir my of ontwikkelaar / tool focused. Admin tools, workflow tools, ens.. That’s not a criticism at all because SharePoint can definitely use some gadgets.

In 2009, sommige verkopers (en heel moontlik Bamboo hulself, As ek dit gelees het korrek) bymekaar sal sit verticalized besigheid aansoeke in die vorm van templates, funksies, oplossings, ens.. I’m thinking about the fabulous forty templates today but tailored to specific industries. I’m sort of surprised it’s not already exploited this way. SharePoint is a platform for delivering these kinds of things. What’s everyone waiting for? They won’t wait any longer in 2009.

Op dieselfde tyd, Silverlight and other cool .NET stuff will fuel new, better and more interesting gadgets.

Sharepointreviews.com will become the essential community catalog of these products.

End User Focus

2009 will see the emergence of the End User as a major focus for bloggers, organizations and Microsoft themselves. Mark Miller’s End User SharePoint.Com played a big role in 2008 and will continue to do so in 2009. End Users will begin to blog, help to transform user groups into less technical venues and even convince someone or organization to launch a pure End User focused conference.

Conferences, User Groups, Code Camps, ens.

Speaking of conferences – they will continue to expand and grow in number and focus. Aside from end user content, they will continue to cater to developers and administrators.

Virtual conferences will start to pick up and existing conferences will provide live feeds to remote attendees who cannot or choose not to attend in person.

Free venues will expand, soos Mike Lotter’s (et al) SharePoint Saterdag.

This is going to be very important because there will continue to be a large influx of new developers, admins and end users who will be craving the kind of information these groups provide.

Social Computing

Demand for social computing features will rise. All things being equal, maatskappye wat implementeer effektiewe sosiale rekenaar strategieë sal beter doen en sterker wees as hulle mededingers.

Kleiner maatskappye sal neem hierdie funksies meer vinnig en doeltreffend as groot maatskappye.

Groot maatskappye: beware 🙂

Beste praktyke teenoor Remediation

In 2008, 'n baie SharePoint bloggers en organisasies en Microsoft hulself spandeer baie tyd uitzoeken die beste manier is om sekere probleme op te los (gewoonlik tegniese probleme).

There are still opportunities to define and foster adoption of best practices. Egter, terwyl ons al uitzoeken die beste manier om te installeer, instel en bestuur SharePoint, honderde en duisende van maatskappye is die installering, configuring and managing SharePoint without those best practices at hand.

In 2009, a lot of companies are going to realize they have some deeply rooted problems to solve and will be looking to the elite members of the SharePoint community and Microsoft for help to fix them. I think this will extend well into 2010 and possibly spawn a cottage industry providing remediation services for companies that really need and use SharePoint, but are hurting badly because of poor decisions made early in their implementation.

The Mother Ship Will Return

In 2009, the Mother Ship will return and bring Bob Fox home.

Final Thoughts

I didn’t start working with SharePoint myself in any real way until January 2007. Dit lyk vir my dat SharePoint regtig geneem het en bewys kan lewer 'n baie waarde in hierdie twee jaar. Ek dink dat in baie maniere, Dit het nie regtig reguit self uit totdat die infrastruktuur werk. Dit het nog steeds sy foute en probleme, maar ons het almal kom langs pad sedert 01/2007. 2009 gaan 'n banier jaar vir SharePoint wees.

SharePoint beste praktyke Konferensie Februarie 2-4, 2009

Ek sal moet doen twee voorleggings by die SharePoint beste praktyke konferensie in Februarie in San Diego.

Ek het nie hierdie ding lank genoeg te kry verveeld deur dit, so elke konferensie Ek woon is 'n, eerlik, ontsagwekkende. Egter, I do think this conference is special. There is zero marketing focus and the whole thing is about offering real-world practical advice on how to untangle some of the thorniest issues we face dealing with SharePoint. It’s not gigantic, sodat al die sprekers is baie toeganklik (ten minste wanneer hulle nie om uit vure terug by die huis). This means that in addition to the great formal presentations, jy kan 'n paar groot gesprekke en debatte met feitlik elke spreker by byna enige tyd, starting with communal breakfast up to late night imbibing at the hotel bar.

Bo en behalwe die sprekers, you’ll have great opportunities to build and cement networks of other SharePoint users in the community. By the end of the last session and conference wrap-up, jy sal energiek en vol goeie idees terug te bring om te werk om te help om jou SharePoint omgewing verbeter.

Dit is die moeite werd om die belegging.

The web site is top notch. Check dit uit vir datums, registrasie, onderwerpe en sprekers.

Deur te lees 1,000 Blog inskrywings in 3 Weke is soos om na Lost Season Vier in 'n Weekend

Die afgelope somer, terwyl ek besig was op twee hoofstukke vir die beste SharePoint sosiale rekenaar boek wat nog ooit, I began to get very far behind in my blog reading. I use Google Reader for my RSS stuff and when you have more than 1000 ongelees items, dit sê net, "1000 ".

Oor die afgelope paar weke, Ek het gaan sit en stelselmatig te lees en om hulle te etiketteer as ek gaan vir toekomstige verwysing (Ek gebruik Delicious.com).

Die afgelope naweek het ek al verlore, seisoen vier in 'n paar van die sittings en vang op 1000+ blog inskrywings voel dieselfde manier.

Porting SharePoint Designer Workflow van 'n lys na 'n ander

Mark Miller oor te www.endusersharepoint.com gepos my jongste artikel oor SharePoint Designer workflow hier (http://www.endusersharepoint.com/?p=1037).

I describe the basic approach for moving a workflow you create in one list to another list. The other list can be in the same site, dieselfde plek versameling of 'n heeltemal ander plaas (bijv. van ontwikkeling tot produksie).

This is a complicated subject so I only covered a very basic scenario. Volgende week, I’ll write up a more useful real world example.

Check dit uit en deel enige kommentaar daar.

Waarom kan ek maklik Port SharePoint Designer Workflow oplossings van 'n lys na 'n ander?

Mark Miller het my laaste End User georiënteerde SharePoint Designer Workflow artikel geplaas op sy webwerf hier: http://www.endusersharepoint.com/?p=1008

Ek probeer om 'n reguit-vorentoe antwoord op die vraag te voorsien, "Hoekom kan ek nie maklik hawe 'n SharePoint ontwerper workflow van ontwikkeling om te toets?" In the process, Ek gee ook 'n insig in wat SPD is eintlik agter die skerms toe ons dit gebruik om 'n workflow te skep.

Volgende week, Ek beskryf 'n eindgebruiker vriendelike manier na die hawe SPD workflow van een bediener na 'n ander, of ten minste as eindgebruiker vriendelik 'n oplossing as moontlik is gegewe die toestand van die instrument stel.
