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.

There are many ASP.NET web developer out there since its release and ASP before that who have been working with SharePoint to build solutions. Jeremy Thake, SharePoint MVP and VP of Global Product Innovation at AvePoint Inc. will discuss how he learnt the client side JavaScript way of building SharePoint Apps after being extremely comfortable in the managed code space. It will cover his journey, resources to get you started and tips and tricks to get you started in this direction too.

We all know there are great challenges in implementing existing \ customization features within the SharePoint platform,not only by the complexity,
but also by how we conduct our features, content types and everything around it "What do YOU use to develop in SharePoint?"
It is the question I am asked most often. In this awesome session get to know some of tools that SharePoint Developers usually use to help and speed up the development process.

Are you a SharePoint Developer or Administrator? Only using the out of the box PowerShell cmdlets or none at all? Learn how to go beyond the built-in PowerShell Cmdlets for SharePoint to bend SharePoint to your will. In this presentation, I'll provide an introduction to the PowerShell language, how to use PowerShell with SharePoint, and show you how to write your own cmdlets and scripts. Learn how PowerShell can be used as a tool for content manipulation, easing multi-farm deployment challenges, and bulk site creation, among others.

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.

This session will focus on enterprise content management and records management features in SharePoint 2013. It will tie together various capabilities built into SharePoint 2013 such as record declaration, managed metadata, document IDs, content organizer, content hub, policies and e-discovery in order to support your enterprise records management initiatives. It will also talk to many of the changes in ECM and records management from SharePoint 2010.

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?

We’ve all seen those next-next-finish demos of connecting SharePoint to ADFS. Just a few lines of PowerShell and you’re done, right? Not really. When you choose to implement SAML claims with SharePoint (because that’s what it is) there are a number of difficulties that you’ll need to overcome. The people picker doesn’t work anymore, user profile import becomes more complicated and even using some SharePoint apps will be problematic. We’ll also cover the infrastructure side like making it work with host named site collections, reverse proxy servers and federation with other user directories.

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.

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.

Business Connectivity Services is a very good idea that appeared rather simple – a transparent view of the other data that are not stored in the Sharepoint, though it looks like. First version called Business Data Catalog was rather simple and provided read-only access to data. This evolved in Sharepoint 2010 with read write support, and now has evolved even more in SharePoint 2013 with additional features.
In this talk, we will try to make an overview of the components that are contained in the Business Connectivity Services, will try to describe key notions like filters, associations, and providers. Then we will discuss the possible implementation of the data providers that you could implement yourseld.
After that, we will discuss the new functionality in SharePoint 2013, such as ODATA provider, an ability to have an app-scoped external type, events, and other enhancements.

Have you ever wished you had more hours in the day?

We might have the next best thing!

What's behind the Flash of SharePoint 2013 "Custom Looks". Is it glitter.
What's the best way to implement Custom Master Pages on multiple Site Collections

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.

Skipping the boring administrative tasks with PowerShell, we'll explore the awesomeness of PowerShell for developers: CRUD, reflection and unit tests, automation and more! We'll also touch on PowerShell for SharePoint Online. Loads of samples and walkthroughs.

Though at first it seems the easiest sites to build, challenges and questions appear: what if I want to build an Knowledge base, or a policies and procedures site, or global news/events or , integrate or link TermSets in managed navigation, what about friendly-urls, how to define contextual filters, can I inherit content types, how to configure content sources or display templates, what about multi-language, and more? To get answers to this and many more questions - join for the session exposing a real-life project built around these new features.

Its very important to choose options that promote performance and security within our SharePoint farm environment .
In this session learn how to setup, configure and fine tune your SQL Server 2012 as a SharePoint 2013 Database Server !

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.
