I’ve uploaded the slides from my presentation at SharePoint Saturday Tampa to Slide Share for anyone interested. Feel free to learn more about leveraging the ribbon API and dialog framework. If you have any questions or comments feel free to shoot me a message via the contact form. I’m currently working on cleaning up the code that I demo’d during the presentation and will be releasing it in a series of blog posts about the subject. If you would like a copy in the mean time shoot me an email and I’ll be happy to send it to you.

I’ll be speaking in a few days now at the SharePoint Saturday event down in Tampa. I’ll be giving a pretty technical discussion about the Ribbon API and dialog framework. Afterwards I’ll be posting the source code and slides here on my blog so be sure to check back.
The event is in Tampa, FL on Saturday June 26th. Check out the other speakers and event details at the SharePoint Saturday website . If you aren’t familiar with SharePoint Saturday then spend a little time on the site and get involved in the SharePoint community… it’s a great one!
Looking forward to meeting lots of great people! See you there!

SharePoint 2010 is now available for download on MSDN (as of last week). For those lucky MSDN subscribers go pick up your copy and start planning your upgrades/implementations today!
Also, Todd Klindt has pointed out on his blog that SQL Server 2008 R2 is available for a 180 day trial. Hopefully that will be long enough for it to be released on MSDN. Let’s hope that we can upgrade it to the full version once we all have keys! Here’s the direct link to the SQL Server 2008 R2 download page.

After installing the new SharePoint 2010 beta I stared blankly at it wondering where to begin. So, after some consideration I’m going to begin at the beginning in an attempt to identify the new and the different, one feature at a time. Welcome to part one in a multi part series where I’m going to focus on the mapping of functionality from 2007 to 2010 rather than how it works or how to use it… consider this an inventory. In part one I’m going to cover the Central Administration Application Management page. Read more »
