SharePoint Techincal Track Videos

This session walks you through the necessary steps to design a SharePoint 2013 architecture. It explains what information is needed to actually design such an architecture and discusses the many things you need to know to make the right decisions. It helps you to design a small, medium or large SharePoint farm for your customers.

Presenter: Bjoern H Rapp, MVP, SharePoint Architect, Steria AS.

The SharePoint 2013 App Model provides the ability to add and run a workflow in a SharePoint App. In this session I will demonstrate how to use App event receivers to associate a workflow to any list in the Host Web or App Web. The session will include creating, adding, deploying and running the app. Associating the workflows via an event receiver instead of directly makes it possible to keep the list data even if the app is uninstalled, because the list defintion will be separated from the workflow definition. Then we can associate the workflow with any list, whether it's residing inside the app itseld or in the host web.

Making information findable is a critical factor in any SharePoint deployment. SharePoint 2013 is shipped with second edition of Managed Metadata Service to facilitate information architecture. This session will be a hands on and deep dive into the newest managed metadata functions introduced in SharePoint 2013 like – extended properties, pinning, hashtags and others.

Attendees will also learn about new Managed Metadata features to facilitate enhanced enterprise content management; features like managed navigation and making it work together with variations (multi-lingual sites), cross-site publishing and product catalogs.

This session will also include a hands on review of newest Taxonomy API to assist developing interoperable SharePoint applications.

There is the TechNet guide and then there is the real world experience. I talk about my real world experience and how to approach a migration from a big corporate to a small business from 2010 to 2013 and SharePoint online.

A single page application (SPA) is composed of a single HTML page and AJAX to dynamically respond to user interaction. An SPA can improve the user experience creating more responsive and performant apps. This session will demonstrate the basics of building a single page application for SharePoint using open frameworks including AngularJS and Bootstrap.

Troubleshooting can be a frustrating experience. Since SharePoint is a “system of systems” it tends to create some unique challenges that can make things complicated. Finding the right information, configuring the correct logs, and knowing where to find help can make the difference between a minor error and days of frustration. While it may at times seem like some people are just “born with” an ability to troubleshoot there are methods the rest of us can use to systematically locate and eliminate errors. The goal of this session is to go beyond common issues and their fixes by also looking at effective techniques for troubleshooting SharePoint.

To develop cloud-hosted apps with SharePoint 2013 requires understanding OAuth for authentication. This session will deep dive into how OAuth works for SharePoint Cloud-Hosted Apps with Office 365 with code walkthroughs in ASP.NET and Nodejs.

Come join us to learn about the SharePoint 2013 Search Topology and how it differs from 2010. In this session we will be diving deep into scripting a high availability search topology, keeping it healthy and manage your day-to-day search operations.

Learn about how to optimize your search for best performance and search relevancy, to support reliable search applications. Together, we will review where Search lives in the farm, the crawl components of search to implement a scalable farm. Isn’t search after all the engine that drives SharePoint?

Being an enterprise consultant in many companies across the globe, the most common phrase I come across each client\supplier I've helped last year is "each team as a different way to do it"

Although this approach could work on small clients in a small\medium\huge companies it's overkill.

In this awesome session learn how can you structure your development for SharePoint 2013 enterprise solutions.

SharePoint Search has dramatically changed over the last few years. With the addition of FAST technology, it has become a world-class engine for discovering content residing within and outside of SharePoint. It has also taken on another very important role as the heart of what are called Search-Driven Applications. It is now easier than ever to harness its power to drive a good portion of the core logic in an application. This session will examine Search within the context of application development and will review basic search engine-related topics including schema development, content search web parts and catalogs, and design templates but more importantly will build on these concepts and develop a small search-based ecommerce site. We will utilize the Search engine to surface content stored in SharePoint catalogs and will quickly discover how easy and fun it is to create powerful search-driven applications on the SharePoint platform.

Before you make your SharePoint site public, make sure you're site is ready. What should you know, what do you need to do? In this session we'll cover some technical aspects but focusing more on search engine optimization, browser support, page optimization and more.

In this session I will share the installation & configuration of a separate Workflow Manager & Service Bus on a separate server and then configuration of workflow. I will also discuss new improvements in SharePoint 2013 workflows.

In this session I will discuss custom development in SharePoint 2013 with new app model and object model. I will also share the smart practices for custom development to minimize the development effort. Session will also contain an over view on Design Manager and how to use it.

Host-named site collections have been around since SharePoint 2010 but they have been improved for SharePoint 2013 making them a valuable architectural alternative e several scenarios.
In this session, you will learn what host-named site collections are and what makes them so useful in SharePoint 2013. We will discuss its pros and cons and how you how to create host-named site collections using PowerShell scripts.

How do you install SharePoint to development and test environments? How much time does SharePoint experts spend for deployment tasks? How do you standardize and have the exact same configuration on each of them? How can you ship and deploy your custom solution along with all the custom configuration made in your development farms?

AutoSPInstaller is a CodePlex project that provides a set of PowerShell scripts, an XML input file, and a standard windows batch file which together provide a quick and near-unattended installation and initial configuration of Microsoft SharePoint Server 2010 and 2013. This session will mainly focus on step by step guide including configuration of user accounts, preparation of base media and installation scripts, execution of scripts. We will cover the best practices, do's and dont's.

SharePoint 2013 over the Internet

As a developer or technical lead, your early Office 365 projects are likely to raise some big questions. How should you interpret Microsoft's mixed messages on sandbox solutions? How should test environments be handled in the cloud? Do you need to run more than one Office 365 tenancy? When you can't deploy files to the LAYOUTS directory, where should global assets such as CSS and JavaScript be stored? What about automation, when only 30 PowerShell cmdlets are available in SharePoint Online? And just how do you provision Managed Metadata fields, when the on-premises techniques cannot be used?

This session walks through the “dev strategy” decisions we made at Content and Code, and why. Over the course of several demos, we’ll also discuss apps, automation scripts and also advanced techniques such as Continuous Integration for Office 365.

Hopefully even people not expecting to work on an Office 365 development project can come away with flavour of what such a project might look like.

"One Search to rule them all, one Search to find them, one Search to bring them all and in the Index bind them."

Information is often scattered in external systems like SAP, Confluence, Yammer or DBs. This session is about the vision of One Enterprise Search that can be used to find information regardless of which LOB application it is stored in. SharePoint Search is the solution that can provide one entry point to all systems.

SP Search is scalable, customizable and extendable. This session will dive into the last point: extend SP Search and feed data from external systems into its index using the Indexing Connector Framework. Indexing Connectors will be explained. It will be highlighted where you as a Dev, IT Pro or User will see it at work. We will go into the main problems: credential mapping, API limits and load. Solutions will be presented using two examples: a connector for Confluence Wikis and a prototype for Yammer enabling users to search these systems from SP.

This session will provide an overview of tools and libraries available for branding SharePoint 2013 branding solutions. We will review the new design manager, code snippets and the new display templates for content search web parts as well as fundamentals such as master pages, page layouts, publishing content types and best practices when developing front end solutions to SharePoint platform. We will also quickly introduce to popular technologies available and that concurrently work well in SharePoint 2013 such as jquery.js, bootstrap.js or spservices.js

Simple and cutting-edge UI/UX design influences user adoption and results in a successfully crafted SharePoint environment and improved collaboration and efficiency within their organization. The key to implementing a successful SharePoint site is making sure that users are engaged. In this seminar, we’ll cover the pros and cons of designing in both SharePoint 2010 and SharePoint 2013, creating webparts, designing outside of SharePoint Designer, and the tools you’ll need to keep it simple.
