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:
- The Business Catalog (http://weblogs.asp.net/erobillard/archive/2005/09/15/425364.aspx). Based on presentation: OFF321 Surfacing Your Application's Line-of-Business Data and Actions within Enterprise Portals (http://216.55.183.63/pdc2005/slides/OFF321_Burke.ppt)
- SharePoint v3 Collaboration and Tracking Features (http://weblogs.asp.net/erobillard/archive/2005/09/14/425235.aspx).
Also Bil Simser was at the PDC and has great entries at his weblog: http://weblogs.asp.net/bsimser.

- PDC Day 02 (Here comes the fire hose) (http://weblogs.asp.net/bsimser/archive/2005/09/14/425239.aspx), with a lot of information on the new internals, and new programming an configuration features.
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:
