The Triangle .Net User Group will be hosting its annual Code Camp on Saturday November 15th. The registration for the camp will be opening in the next few days at http://www.trinug.org so be sure to signup if your interested in attending. Although there is always some sort of SharePoint presence at the code camps in Raleigh, I'm particularly excited this year as I was able to "volunteer" several friends and co-workers to speak at this years event and I believe we're going to have enough for a full SharePoint\Office Track. As of now I think the following speakers and...
I've been working with a client for the last few months to develop a handful of public facing web sites running under MOSS publishing. I headed over to the UK to deploy the framework for these sites and ensure that we could do content deployments from their internal staging environment to their production environment in their DMZ. I've had some success in the past with content deployment in SharePoint but its always made me nervous even following SP1 and the post-SP1 infrastructure updates that were suppose to target many problems with content deployment. After a frustrating day without success and...
In the last year and half I've been almost exclusively working on MOSS publishing projects. Any developer working on these projects becomes very familiar with site columns and content types. Site Columns and Content Types are central to WCM in MOSS but they also play a very important role throughout SharePoint as a whole.

Groups of site columns are then organized into Content Types and associated with other lists and functionality throughout SharePoint....
I apologize ahead of time for any broken links. I've moved from my Ghetto home grown SharePoint half broken blog mod to the CKS EBE and all I have to say is I wish I didn't wait so long. Its a great blogging platform. Those guys did a great job. I built out my "brain freeze" theme in about 20 minutes. There is a very good tutorial on the process over at Liam Cleary's blog. Kudos to the CKS team that build this out. Unfortunately I couldn't move the comments over and think there will be a few broken...
I've been pretty quiet as of late because of my new position with B&R. Its been a challenge to get the Raleigh office up and running, getting 2 new SharePoint developers up to speed while managing a heavy client load to boot. The good news is although I've been quiet I have also been quite busy with some community projects. The Raleigh SharePoint Developers Guild has a new web site up and running at http://www.sharepointdevelopersguild.com . Its running off of an early release of the SharePoint UserGroup Portal I was blogging about a few months back. More to come...
