Summer 2010

Hard to believe it's the last official week of summer - school starts next Tuesday, back to the old schedule! And hard to believe my daughter's already a third grader, time goes by!

So what have I been up to lately? SharePoint 2010 architecture. Haven't done a ton of coding lately, but I have inherited an ASP.Net application and have another one in the works. Did some coding with Silverlight & the Client Object Model for 2010 - blog post coming - it is sweet.

COM (the new COM, that is) is an EXCELLENT way to continue to deploy code to SharePoint, but do so without having to bug your administrators or your Change Management team. The code runs on the client, so no consumption of server resources, and the code can do only what the user can do, so the risk of deleting all sites on the farm is minimized.

Have also been looking at multitenancy. This is going to be big with 2010 - being able to partition off multiple companies on the same set of hardware, w/o needing completely separate farms.

Look for more blog entries about all of the above...really...I promise...
