SharePoint Hosting Providers (redux)
As I develop SharePoint apps for clients, at times I bear the responsibility of recommending SharePoint Hosting providers. So I am continously looking for SP hosting. Since my last post on the subject - I have discovered yet another provider: 1and1.com. So far, they appear to be quite good & reasonable - 50 users, 100mb space & 6gb traffic for less than 20 bucks/month.

Webcast: SharePoint Portal Server 2003: Integrating Enterprise Applications
SharePoint Portal Server 2003: Integrating Enterprise Applications Webcast is a very interesting one. Good introduction to EAI with SharePoint by Appuswamy Kannan [MSFT MCS] that is made more interesting with “live examples” from the field (client sites).

Using SQL Reporting Services for MS Project Server 2003 Reporting
Anyone experimenting with SQL Reporting Services and MS Project Server 2003 Reporting combination? I am currently exploring the MS Project 2K3 Server's Enterprise Reporting capabilities. An article in MSDN describes the Enterprise Reporting Solution Starter but I *think* the new SQL Reporting Services Server can be more efficient (and effective).

Extend SharePoint Server with ADO.Net & XML
Dave Burke has written a very interesting article at MSD2D.com entitled 'EXTEND SHAREPOINT SERVER WITH ADO.NET AND XML'. He shows SharePoint Document management with ADO.Net (in lieu of WebDAV). I'll certainly go through that one thoroughly - other people's experience is the best teacher.. :-)

Collaboration Design Patterns within Groove and SharePoint
I work with Groove and SharePoint and after reading Keith Pleas' posting on 'Collaboration Design Patterns' it has conjured up a lot of good ideas. Both Groove and SharePoint are extendable with Groove tools (using the GDK/GTK) and WebParts (& also web service calls via CAML & lists). I find that "collaboration" is really an amalgamation of several patterns. As a developer it will certainly help decomposing the various patterns and seeing the 'sum of the (pattern) parts'.

Hey Microsoft - would you please get the .NET Framework to the desktop?
This is a posting at Paresh Suthar's weblog. I have reposted Paresh's rant here (for those, who like me, are lazy, procastinate and love donuts that make the mouse and keyboard sticky beyond use at times) -

SharePoint Configuration Analyzer is your friend
For the past several weeks I have been working on a fairly intensive SharePoint deployment project. I have found the SharePoint Configuration Analyzer to be an indispensible tool. Perhaps MSFT should consider releasing its development (under GotDotNet) so that it may be enhanced with new features (and certain fixes). I have mounds of new ideas for it.

I was looking forward to trying out the Intranet Templates (see MSDN June 04 issue). Apparently, the Templates were removed from the current release of VS2K5 (see ASP.Net forums). Bummer.. I'll have to wait for the beta..
