After some requests, I’ve decided to collate all my SharePoint Architect and Developer Videos and Podcasts together in one place.
Over the next few weeks I’m building the new SharePoint 2010 Developer Course for Firebrand Training. These are exciting times for SharePoint 2007 (MOSS and WSS 3.0) developers looking to acquire new skills.
The Microsoft SharePoint 2010 platform has really come of age. In my three recent video podcasts, I showed some of my favourite features in SharePoint 2010:
But there’s so much more for the SharePoint Developer to enjoy!
To round off my week as the Firebrand Blog guest blogger, I’ve made a high level video overview of some of the new Business Intelligence features in SharePoint 2010. A quick look at the Business Intelligence Center site definition, a look at Excel Web Access and the Excel Web Access Web Part, and finally a peek at the REST API for Excel Services.
Don’t forget you can find all my videos as podcasts on iTunes! Just search for “joelblogs tv” and you’ll find them.
This week I’ve been presenting at the Microsoft Architect Insight Conference 2010 in London. My first session was based upon by SharePoint 2010 BCS podcast also available on my blog. Thanks to all those who came along for the show!
The second set was about Workflow in SharePoint 2010, looking at the end-to-end story from business analyst, through designer, through to developer. We look at how each of these types of worker can use Visio 2010, SharePoint Designer 2010 and Visual Studio 2010 respectively to play a part in the overall process of creating a workflow.
SharePoint 2010 Enabling Business Agility with Workflow

Welcome to the second in my SharePoint 2010 series of how-to videos for developers. This one is all about Business Connectivity Services, the technology previously known as the Business Data Catalog.
The BDC in SharePoint 2007 was pretty cool. It allowed us to quickly create read-only forms from existing line of business, or back-end, systems. The technique also allowed us to index and then search data in these back-end systems in a structured way.
In this video, I’ll show how easy it is to work with SharePoint 2010 Business Connectivity Services. We’ll use SharePoint Designer 2010 to hook up with an old friend – the Northwind database – and bring a SQL table of Contacts into SharePoint.
We’ll also see how SharePoint does the hard work for us in creating not just read only, but all the CRUD operations – create, retrieve, update, delete. It also creates InfoPath and browser forms for us, without writing a single line of code. Lastly we’ll have a look at the offline functionality of the BCS and SharePoint Workspace, including the magic of conflict resolution.
It’s been my pleasure over the last few weeks to teach SharePoint 2010 to an audience of developers for Microsoft during their Ignite event in Dublin.
One of my favourite features of the news development platform has got to be Sandbox Solutions and the User Code Service. This allows developers to write code, packaged up as a SharePoint .WSP solution, and deploy it at the site collection level in a security sandbox. This feature is aimed at hosted and multi-tenant SharePoint customers, and also the incredibly security conscious.
In this video walk through, I shows developers how to create a simple Microsoft SharePoint 2010 Sandbox Solution in Visual Studio 2010, I show what works and what doesn’t inside the Sandbox, and lastly how to write a custom validator for other developers’ solutions.
