OpenXML SDK Version Jun08

Once again, I’m glad to be back at blogging after another period of intense work. For those of you that might not know, and are huge/diehard fans of OpenXML last month hailed a new release of the OpenXML SDK ( http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=AD0B72FB-4A1D-4C52-BDB5-7DD7E816D046&displaylang=en ).

Microsoft Office Interactive Developer Map

If you're an Office (OBA, SharePoint 2007, PerformancePoint 2007, Unified Communications, Groove, Project Server, Visio, etc etc) Developer , you're going to love this application. It's very useful, especially to people that are still grasping how the full Office offering from Microsoft works (Enterprise Content Management, Business Intelligence, etc etc) and also, it's also quite funky to use. Here's the link: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/office/bb497969.aspx "The Microsoft...

DoD 5015.2 Resource Kit for SharePoint Server 2007 is finally here!!!!!!!!!!

Earlier, in December last year, for the last time I extended my concerns about the late arrival of the DoD 5015.2 Add-on Pack for SharePoint 2007 Records Management in my post on this blog ( http://dotnet.org.za/zlatan/archive/2007/12/23/what-happened-to-the-dod-5015-2-add-on-pack-for-sharepoint-2007-records-management.aspx ). This was followed by many questions from the community and respective clients. J.P. Horne of Microsoft kept me in the mean time updated about the progress with the Add On pack...

Building OBAs with WPF, WCF, and LINQ

One thing is for sure, using Visual Studio Tools for Office in the new Visual Studio 2008 environment has become much easier and a lot more effective. We have a number of frameworks that not only make our lives as developers easier but it also allows us to create even more powerful solutions. Besides the mighty Enterprise Content Management platform MOSS 2007, simple Office applications like MS Word can utilise Business Process Management, SOA and Enterprise Service Bus concepts, even employ more...

6 Microsoft® Office Business Applications for Office SharePoint® Server 2007

I waited for this book to come out for some time, and as soon as I found out its out (from Eben last Wednesday) I ordered it through Amazon, I used the standard shipping options, so that means this will most likely be my present for Valentines (from me to me). Anyway, back to the book itself, this book presents my main professional focus (what you mostly hear about in my lectures and presentations) and what I believe to be the future of all enterprise applications. This is how OBAs and SharePoint...

Microsoft Office Client Deployment – Document Migration Tools

This is yet another lecture I did at TechEd 2007 and it addresses one of the most important aspects of deploying Office System 2007 and MOSS 2007 solutions in a large enterprise, and that is migration of all the earlier office version documents on your computer, file shares, network etc. These are the tools that will make implementation of Office System 2007 (and SharePoint 2007) in your enterprise, above all a lot more possible to be used from day 1, also ideal, and effortless.
