while messing with virtual pc for some testing, i came across truly the killer app (bug free)...throughout modern times it remains unscathed remember:
solitaire, circa Windows 3.11
solitaire, current day (Windows XP)
remember the days when you could shutdown windows from the file menu...
if you haven't seen/used the sputility class before, you might want to take a look at some useful, built in functions that may come in handy from time to time...here are some highlights:
some good stuff...
well, i'm pretty swamped and haven't had an opportunity to finish my template 101 whitepaper. i came across new uploads on the gotdotnet sharepoint samples and found a presentation from mikefitz regarding site definitions.
as some of you may know (what i was writing in my little whitepaper) is that frontpage editing breaks the ghosting of your template...here's an excerpt from the presentation (forgive the copy/paste formatting). check out the presentation and other stuff on the gotdotnet sharepoint space
Pages and list schema are read from the site definition files Pages are only written to the database when customized within a site Maximizes scalability Reuse un-customized pages across sites Reduce unnecessary data storage and retrieval i thought i'd have more to say about the devdays conference. unfortunately (for me at least) it was lacking “developer” content. yes, securing applications is important, but developers want to see new things, hear about what is the cutting edge. not enough time was spent on whidbey or other core dev skills. it was unfortunate that the whidbey demos that did occur in the final keynote were not working...i wanted to see the reaction of those in the audience to what is coming down the stream...
the smart client track received a lot more attention than i expected...i guess i underestimated the interest.
i think overall in phoenix, there wasn't much new for most people...with an active user group, most of us had already seen all the presentations before...
