  • A new SharePoint training company

    Who could it possibly be? It's SharePoint911, of course! I can hear it now: "But don't you guys already do training?" Actually, the majority of our team has done SharePoint training for years, but for the most part we have we have done it under the umbrella of other training companies. We have written at least 10 different classes for these different companies, and we have taught 1000s of students over the years, but always for someone else. For the first time ever, we are creating our own training content and we have 100% control. No more creating modules to fit a specific format or marketing objective. After talking to a customer who got an early preview of the outlines, his exact quote was: "I love the content. When you read the training page you can feel the passion you guys have for SharePoint and you get a good sense of the high level of experience." - Andrew Post, MCSE, MCP That is exactly what I wanted to hear! These classes are written and taught from...

  • Downloads of my SPTechCon Boston Sessions

    Last week I had the privilege of speaking at the SharePoint Technology Conference in Boston. Too cool. Got to meet several new people from the Twitterverse (I am @ShanesCows in case you were wondering). I would list the people but I never know if that is appropriate or not. Anyway. I promised a download PDF of all of the sessions I did so here they are. Todd Klindt and I did a whole day workshop on being a SharePoint administrator. For that session I have two decks. The SharePoint Admin deck is old faithful. It is all of the core Admin stuff we have delivered around the world brought back to glory once again. Good stuff. The other deck is stolen straight from my SharePoint Administrator's Class and it all of the dev things we admins need to know, like Features, Solution Packages, and Code Access Security (EEK!). You can get that deck here . Dealing with developers is fun. ;) The following day I had to do my search session all by myself. Very sad. You can grab that deck here . Shane...
  • Upcoming speaking and webcasts

    Wow the weeks are getting away from me. Thought I would quickly list out some of my upcoming usergroups, webcasts, trainings, and conferences. Just so you know what to avoid. ;) Available now from your desk: Todd and I while at TechEd recorded a quick TechTalk – SharePoint: What could possibly go wrong? "SharePoint environments are like snowflakes. Each one is intricate and it seems no two are alike. In this TechTalk, Shane and Todd talk about some of the things done wrong in SharePoint installations they've seen. They also talk about how to fix those things." Available for a free viewing at http://www.msteched.com/online/view.aspx?tid=8d46ef7a-7455-4854-a66d-0fd692766b58 May 21, 2009 Columbus, Ohio: I will be presenting at the Columbus Usergroup monthly meeting at 5:30 pm. This will be my second trip to hang out with this group so it should be fun. Someone has graciously offered to let me odd their server farm in front of everyone. Yikes! So I will be looking for mistakes...

  • Governance Preconference at TechEd with Todd and Shane

    What are you doing May 10 th in Los Angeles? The only right answer is spending the day with Todd and I discussing SharePoint Governance. Duh! ;) Check out PreCon 15 http://www.msteched.com/teched/seminars.aspx Last year Todd and I sold out our precon event on SharePoint Upgrades and Administration and it was such a fun filled comedy fest we were invited back this year. Sadly it will be the same jokes but all new educational material. Also, last year we gave away a Zune and an XBOX 360. No promises for this year's giveaways but… I typically like to offer up all of Todd's paycheck for giveaways cause I am nice that way. Why Governance? Who needs Governance of SharePoint anyway? The short answer? EVERYONE! Governance is crucial to keeping that awesome SharePoint environment you setup awesome. A brief description follows: This session takes you through the process of developing a successful implementation plan for your Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 (WSS) or Microsoft Office SharePoint...
  • Upload from SPTechCon

    So Todd and I are here at www.SPTechCon.com speaking and the class wants this deck so I am uploading it. http://sharepoint911.com/Downloads/Hurry Up.pdf Hi class – Here is a sweet set of cow jokes you all can tell Todd to impress him. http://sharepoint911.com/Downloads/Jokes about MooCows.pdf Thanks Shane – SharePoint Consulting
  • Shane and Todd show in San Francisco in January

    http://www.sptechcon.com/ Should be a fun conference. Why? It starts out with a 1 day admin bonanza with Todd Klindt and yours truly. And just in case that isn't complete worth the price of admission they have like 3 more days of content, sprinkled with random sessions from us. LOL No seriously. Should be a really cool conference Jan 27 – 29 with some big name speakers including the infamous Tom Rizzo. Complete list here . The first day will feature full day and half day sessions while the remaining two will be the traditional 75 minutes sessions. I am really looking forward to the event, especially since there will be snow in Cincinnati in January but not in San Francisco. J I also heard yesterday the conference is going to sell out soon so you may need to poke your boss with a big stick to get this approved in time. Most of the SharePoint911 crew will be at the conference so look for a little private get together at some point during the week. Stop by our both to get the scoop. J...
