| Best Practices for Configuring your SharePoint – Site Hierarchy and Features, Security and Configurations, and Performance Guidance by Tony Lanni |
Tony Lanni
AvePoint Vice President of Marketing
(Bio)
|
While Microsoft SharePoint has rapidly become the preferred platform for team collaboration, day to day administrative activities remain complex and time consuming. SharePoint administrators are often burdened with managing complex operations and configurations, affecting their productivity and ability to more effectively meet the demands of their businesses. Among some of the frustrations and most challenging tasks include:
- IT’s lack of visibility into rogue SharePoint environments sprawling across an enterprise, limiting the ability to monitor system health and server topology
- A decentralized settings administration interface, resulting in extensive configuration management tasks that are often prone to error
- Difficulty in managing users, securities, and access permissions
This session discusses the importance of controlling the deployment of operations and application across a sprawling environment. Join us for an engaging and informative webinar, and learn about key considerations for security and global control, such as permissions deployment, usage and storage monitoring, and the need for successful management and truly centralized administration of SharePoint.

| Event Driven Architecture by Chris Patterson |
Chris Patterson
RelayHealth
Software Architect
(Bio)

Business applications no longer exist as isolated systems. In order to provide integrated solutions that add business value, applications must be connected. Modern approaches for enterprise application integration (EAI) such as Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) separate applications into services that can be accessed via a standard interface such as a web service. This collection of services provides a platform on which new applications can be created that leverage the existing functionality.
However, as application complexity increases, the coupling of services becomes an impediment in adapting applications to meet the ever-changing goals of the business. Event Driven Architecture (EDA) is a method of designing and implementing systems where events are exchanged between highly decoupled components and services. EDA does not replace SOA, instead it compliments the request/response nature of SOA with a highly scalable event model for building and coordinating asynchronous transactions.
In this presentation, I will explain event driven architecture, describe the different types of events, demonstrate how events can be related and orchestrated, and provide a basic understanding of how this method can drive the architecture of enterprise systems. In addition to understanding the concepts of event driven architecture, we will explore a working sample built using an open-source .NET messaging framework called MassTransit. |
| Get Syndicated with WCF Syndication by Jay Smith |
Jay Smith
|
In just about every web application today some amount of information is exposes via RSS or ATOM feeds. Many frameworks have been developed to give you applications this functionality. With the release of Windows Communication Framework a new set of classes were added to allow for the creation and consumption of RSS and ATOM feeds right in the framework. This session will take an look at these classes and how they can be used to generate feeds of any kind from your application. |

| Give Me a Hint: How SQL Server Hints Can Help Your Code by Boyd Evert |
Boyd Evert
|
SQL Server frequently does a good job deciding the best query plan, but sometimes it doesn't. When the performance of a query suddenly becomes erratic for no apparently reason, this may be a result of SQL Server choosing a suboptimal execution plan. In those cases, your best alternative is to use a hint. In this session, we will discuss how and when to use hints and what to avoid when using them. |

| Intro to SharePoint – Common admin/architecture/development hurdles by Mark Rackley |
Mark Rackley
|
I am fairly new to the SharePoint world having dove in head first a little over a year ago. In that time I have been introduced to a wide array of aspects of SharePoint including Architecture, Administration, and Development. I have had to quickly come up to speed to help make important business decisions and take on a lead role in my organization.
During that time I’ve created some small applications using only MOSS and SharePoint Designer (no custom code), helped set up an 8 server Production Farm for our organization, as well as make Taxonomical and Architectural decisions that are the basis for our SharePoint environment.
This session will detail some of the hurdles I’ve encountered along the way and ways of overcoming those hurdles in Architecture, Development, and Administration. |

| SharePoint Replication Tips - Considerations for an Effective Information Sharing Strategy by Tony Lanni |
Tony Lanni
AvePoint Vice President of Marketing
(Bio)
|
Organizations are increasingly turning to Microsoft SharePoint as an online collaboration platform and content repository. For those with a geographically distributed workforce, a decision needs to be made between deploying a single, centralized SharePoint server farm or multiple, distributed SharePoint servers and farms. Though use of a centralized architecture allows for simpler administration, often inadequate network connectivity or capacity can result in sub-optimal application response times, leading to decreased end-user collaboration, lower adoption rates, and ultimately reduced ROI for the platform. Deploying a distributed farm architecture ensures swift application response and a satisfying user experience, but often collaboration suffers because users have no efficient means to share digital assets with users on other farms. This content ‘stove-piping’ hinders productivity, and ultimately leads, again, to reduced ROI for the platform.
Overcoming this apparent impasse requires an intelligent and robust SharePoint geo-replication strategy that lets organizations enjoy the benefits of both architectures, without suffering their shortcomings. This session will first review key considerations for architecting a SharePoint deployment for geo-disbursed users, then identify best practices for delivering continuous data access via intelligent replication of SharePoint content, securities, and configurations.

| Unit Testing Custom SharePoint Solutions With TypeMock by Kyle Kelin |
Kyle Kelin
|
SharePoint solutions are made up of code and should be tested just like any other code base. Unfortunately some of the architecture choices made in the SharePoint Object Model limit a SharePoint developer's ability to unit test their code. This session will give an overview of mocking in general and then dive into how to use TypeMock to mock difficult dependencies like SPWeb and SPList. The session will also cover other types of testing besides unit testing including manual and integration tests. |
