SharePoint v3: making your way through all bits and pieces
The PDC is almost finished, and finally we get the first bits of information on the next version of SharePoint: SharePoint v3. I’m wondering if they actually have a code name for it!
This is a list of resources I found up to now, it’s more for myself to keep track of it..
First of all the downloadable PowerPoint presentations of the sessions at PDC2005: http://commnet1.microsoftpdc.com/content/downloads.aspx. Many interesting SharePoint sessions in there!
Eli Robillard visited the PDC and has some nice weblog entries at: http://weblogs.asp.net/erobillard/. Have a look at:
Also Bil Simser was at the PDC and has great entries at his weblog: http://weblogs.asp.net/bsimser.

Angus Logan was also at the PDC, and has some short statements on the new version of SharePoint at: http://msmvps.com/anguslogan/. Most important ones:
- SharePoint vNext has security trimming (ie. context based display)
- SharePoint vNext will ship with XSD's
- SharePoint vNext has a built in scheduler
- SharePoint v3 to support ASP.NET 2.0 Web Parts
