Upcoming

Just a quick inset to let folks know (there’s at least one that I know of) who follow my rambles that, yes, there’s more to come.  I’ll get back to SharePoint – “Creating The Lab” series soon.  I want to walk through the PowerShell aspect of it all.

There’s more for SSIS and Visual LightSwitch as well.  T

On LightSwitch

The LightSwitch team has really done a great job pushing out good material on how to use their tool.

See: LightSwitch Developer Center

When I first tried to use it, I took one look, saw that for Simple apps it was a reasonable tool and never looked beyond.  Take the time to go through the examples, build the Vision Clinic app.  Once I did that, I saw much more of the potential for LightSwitch.

On Microsoft Virtual Academy

As time allows, I continue to plug through www.MicrosoftVirtualAcademy.com.  Take a look, try out some of the sections.  Not all apply but many do.  LightSwitch is also featured there. 

More Soon…

Originally, this was a pretty darn boring post. Kinda like... Well I won't go there. Perhaps its still on the robotic side but... I could say I like music. Safe, generic and non-comittal. Or, I could say that I've been having a blast tuning up my old guitars, getting blisters on my fingers and turning the amp up past 2. Amazaing what a little overdrive and a half pressed wahwah pedal can do for a sound. Get that cool "Money for Nothin" vibe happening. I get a real kick out of reading old Sci Fi. Reading Asimov's vision about the future is really entertaining now. When he wrote much of the material, the items that were futuristic were day to day tools I used in the early part of my career. Microfiche and the like. I also remember that upstart Microsoft and MS DOS...and can you say Lotus 123? So maybe this is a little better than "I like to read and play music". My career is focused on Team Leadership and Technology. Both share the attributes of continual growth and education. Currently, I manage a team of 4 programmers as direct reports. I've been in this role since 08/2007. Prior to that, I was the team lead (on site) for integration with the customer. Customers ranged from local government to manufacturing and medical. Teams ranged in size from one to six additional team members. On the other side is technology. I've been keeping current with .net technologies focusing on C# and Sharepoint (2007/2010). Specialties Team Building and Management Technical Staff Recruiting Microsoft Visual Studio 7 through 2010 (VB.NET and C#.NET) Microsoft SQL Server 6.5-2008R2 (DTS, TSQL, SSIS, SSAS, and SSRS ) SharePoint 2010 (Office Integration, InfoPath, Site Management and planning) Windows Server 2008 R2 AD DS PowerShell Techology analysis Puchasng and working with vendors Microsoft licensing management and compliance Business Systems Analysis Traning plans Mentoring Training coordination.
