SharePoint 2010
So, to step back up on my soapbox for a quick moment. The buzz and the noise around jQuery and Client Side development in general is growing and at a fairly rapid pace. This of course is good and bad. It’s good because our applications are becoming more and more user friendly and the visual appeal is increasing exponentially a well. Plus, as developers, we get to develop some pretty awesome functionality that before we would have had to crack open Visual Studio to get the same results. It’s definitely...
So, I noticed my good buddy Christina Wheeler (@cwheeler76) wrote a little rant post on Twitter and Facebook today: And I thought, here’s a great example where you could use jQuery and SharePoint in the wild. With jQuery you could easily hide the “Upload Multiple Files…” link… well.. I assumed you could.. I mean how hard could it be? Keep in mind that ANYTHING you see on the page that is not Flash, Silverlight, or an Active X control can be manipulated with jQuery. There’s probably a couple of other...
I have several conferences coming up where I’ll be talking about jQuery and best practices around deployment, maintenance, and performance tuning in SharePoint and I find that I never have enough time to talk about everything I’d like. So I thought I’d write a few blogs about the subject from a complete beginners standpoint. After all, we were all beginners once and nothing frustrates me more than finding a solution to a problem, but then having no idea how to implement it. Also, in subsequent blogs...
How many times can I read a resume listing someone’s Microsoft Certifications, get my hopes up that this person has a clue about SharePoint, call the respondent up on the phone to hear them verbally tout their Microsoft Certifications only to learn they don’t know a damn thing about SharePoint?!!?! It happens ALL the time! I’m completely sick of it and can only come to the conclusion that Microsoft Certifications are completely worthless!!! Okay… good.. I feel better for getting that out… now that...
Only a truly geeky developer can understand the concept that I’ve been working and writing so much code lately they I need to take a break by… well.. writing more code… Anyway! My brain needed a break from my current assignments so I decided to tackle a question I saw posted about populating address fields in SharePoint with a click on a location from a map plugin. It seemed like a nice challenge and something I KNEW could be tackled as long as the proper map API existed… This turned out to be super...
So… A while back I had to set a SharePoint Lookup drop down list value with JavaScript and ran into the quirk where SharePoint handles Lookup drop downs differently if there are 20 or more items in the list. I’m not exactly sure why SharePoint does this. The only common sense reason I can think of is to pass less data over the wire, but if this were the case why not just be consistent and do the same thing ALL the time???? I guess that would make too much sense. Anyway, this week I had to do it again,...
Hey! A jQuery & SharePoint blog post that doesn’t involve SPServices! (sorry Marc) A buddy of mine set up a SharePoint 2010 site for me (http://mrackley.me) so now you guys can take some of my solutions for a test run. Woo Hoo! Thanks kind friend, who I haven’t named because I don’t want him getting flooded with requests for 2010 sites. So, what to blog about? Let’s start off with something simple that can add a quick “ooh” factor for your users. Don’t you like the way dynamic filters work with...
If you are regular reader of my blog you’ve undoubtedly noticed the slow down in the number of blog postings as well as lack of SharePoint 2010 content (and if you’re not a regular reader then you’ve been missing out :)). Well, all that is about to change. I’ve recently joined the team at Juniper Strategy, LLC as a Solutions Architect: That’s right.. I’ve changed sides… I’m now a consultant. That means I get to have the same opinions as before but now they will mean something because people are paying...
Wow… so, I just got back from the SharePoint Conference and my first look at 2010 and all I can say is wow… Wow… I mean… really… wow… Have you seen this thing? If you thought 2007 was a beast, just wait until you start to wade through the features in 2010. It’s almost like Microsoft made SharePoint 2007 as a stop-gap to 2010 so that we wouldn’t be completely overwhelmed by 2010 and to give them more time to develop the features… seriously… I cannot even fathom trying to go from SharePoint 2003 to...
