PDC10 – Scott Guthrie Post Keynote Interview

December 24, 2010 by Joel Jeffery

Windows Phone 7 Developer Coolness

Scott Guthrie, Microsoft Developer Division VP and all round .NET guru, talks about the keynote at this years Microsoft Professional Developer Conference. They gave each attendee a Windows Phone 7! I’m really jealous now.

Scott also talks about the developer tools available for Windows Phone 7, Silverlight development with Expression Blend and the Windows Phone 7 SDK.

You get a sneak peek at the Twitter app for Windows Phone 7 – also written in Silverlight showing off many of the controls from the SDK.

Scott also discusses the Office Marketplace and you see a few examples of the thousands of Windows Phone 7 applications that are already available on the Martketplace.

Windows Phone 7 Ads SDK for Windows Phone 7

November 18, 2010 by Joel Jeffery

Developing for Windows Phone 7? Want to make advertising supported revenue straight from your app? Microsoft has released SDK for that ;) You can download it here: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=198440

The SDK takes the form of an assembly that you can simply add a reference to in your project and start using straight away. You can add the reference in Expression Blend 4 or in Visual Studio 2010, and the assembly lives here: C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Advertising SDK for Windows Phone 7\Microsoft.Advertising.Mobile.UI.dll.

In this video, the Windows Phone 7 team walks us through how to set this up and show us what we can do with the SDK.

All I had to do was drop the AdControl from the Toolbox onto my mobile application (started in my previous blog post) and set a couple of properties: AdUnitId and ApplicationId. Both these properties correspond to the account you can set up on the Microsoft Publicity Center site. Simply visit http://pubcenter.microsoft.com and sign up with your Windows Live ID and create an advertising subscription.

#spthingaday 026 - SharePoint Server. Service Applications and MinRoles. #SharePoint, #Administration, #Architecture.. In a single server Farm, you might decide to have everything running on that one server.

On a multi-server Farm, services can be started or stopped on particular servers in your Farm to support scale out.

From SharePoint 2016 onwards, you can define MinRoles.
That's the smallest set of services that you require to be switched on for a tier of servers.
A MinRole can then be allocated to specific servers.
SharePoint now takes care of making sure the right services are started.

To load balance Services without MinRoles, you just start an instance of your Service on a new Server.

However, with MinRoles, you just need to associate your MinRole with the server.
SharePoint will then start and load balance the requisite Services without any further work on your part.

#spthingaday 028 - Migration. Little Gotchas - 02. #SharePoint, #Office365, #Migration.. Continuing our series of posts about SharePoint migration - today's lesson: expect reorganisation.

Best practices for naming Site Collections on-premise, is to use Host Named Site Collections. For instance, hr.mycompanyname.com, sales.mycompanyname.com, finance.mycompanyname.com.

SharePoint Online supports neither custom Managed Paths nor Host Named Site Collections.
All Site Collections in SharePoint Online have to be created at one of three locations: at the root, under /sites, or under /teams.

Take the migration as an opportunity to change and adapt your information architecture to make the best use of what SharePoint Online and Office 365 can offer.

While you're at it consider breaking up your sub-site structure, and migrating them into Modern Team Site Collections in anticipation of the forthcoming Hub Site in SharePoint Online.

#spthingaday 029 - Migration. Little Gotchas - 03. #SharePoint, #Office365, #Migration.. Today's lesson: you'll need help.

There's nothing built into SharePoint Server or SharePoint Online to do a full migration for you.

Here are some of the free options.

The lowest common denominator way is to use PowerShell scripting and two mapped drives - one to the source, and one to the target. This will only copy files, and only the current version. You will lose metadata during the copy.

If you need both Lists and Libraries, with versions and metadata, you can use the Export-SPWeb and New-SPMigrationPackage cmdlets. This uploads your content to an Azure Storage account as a temporary location, so that SharePoint Online can suck it in. (http://1jj.uk/spmigpkg)

Another option is the SharePoint Migration Tool only. Today, it only handles files and Document Libraries, but supports metadata and version history. There's also an option to use Azure Storage to speed things up. (http://1jj.uk/spmigtool)

For Content Types, Site Columns and structure, you can use the PnP PowerShell libraries from the Patterns and Practices group. Use this in conjunction with another method to migrate the List and Library content itself. (http://1jj.uk/pnppowershell)
