• SharePoint Development Bootcamp - 2nd Quarter Public Dates Announced

  Earlier this week we announced the dates for our next public Bootcamps.  I've been busy adding all sorts of great content to my SharePoint Development Bootcamp and I'm really looking forward to teaching it in Vegas July 30 - August 3. I'm especially excited this time because Heather Solomon and Matt Passanante will also be teaching their SharePoint Branding Bootcamp and SharePoint Administration and Planning Bootcamp, respectively.  Dustin Miller will be on site all week long supporting the different classes, and cracking them up with his endless supply of jokes. On the final day we will merge all the instructors and classes together for a 'Stump The Instructors' session which should be a very fun afternoon of Q&A. Many people have already signed up for the Bootcamp experience, and I'm looking forward to meeting all of you!  Tickets are going faster than ever with the ever-growing popularity of SharePoint, so if you would like to attend, sign up soon.

• SharePoint Feature Manager Update 1.0.0.2

  Today I updated the SharePoint Feature Manager to fix an interesting bug I found. On my development VPC that was upgraded from B2TR to RTM the path to the Features directory was: C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\web server extensions\12\TEMPLATE\FEATURES On my development VPC that has a fresh install of RTM the path to the Features directory is: C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\12\TEMPLATE\FEATURES The change in capitalization of the Web Server Extensions directory, highlighted in bold above, caused a path replacement inside the SharePoint Feature Manager to fail on the fresh install of the RTM build.  I've fixed the bug and the application will now work properly on SharePoint installations that were not upgraded from B2TR, as well as SharePoint installations that were upgraded from B2TR to RTM.  You can download it here: http://www.sharepointblogs.com/files/folders/tbaginski/entry2449.aspx Posted May 22 2007, 08:00 PM by tbaginski with 3 comment(s) Filed under: Helpful Code, Custom Development

• Leaving the BDC Meta Man project

  In order to pursue other opportunities, I've decided to end my involvement with the BDC Meta Man project. For almost a year now I have been working on the BDC Meta Man project with Nick Swan and Dmitry Kaloshin.  During this exciting time I forged strong relationships with Nick and Dmitry and enjoyed the experience very much.  The entire experience was a positive one and I have nothing but good things to say about Nick and Dmitry.  I am confident that Nick and Dmitry will create an even brighter future for the project, and I wish them both luck! Thanks to everyone who supported the BDC Meta Man project along the way, it was an exciting journey!  Now that I’m embarking on a new journey with SharePoint Experts as Vice President, stay tuned for some exciting announcements of my own!
