6:00-8:30pm Speaker: Jason Kaczor - SharePoint
Abstract:
This presentation is about Custom actions which are .NET components. I will also be presenting some best practice framework code as well for trace logging/etc. I will also talk about Event Receivers – they tie closely to the concept of “something executing based on something else changing” like workflows, but are occasionally the better choice to use.
Speaker 1:
Jason Kaczor is a SharePoint MVP and an independent consultant specializing in SharePoint and .NET technologies; architecture, design, governance, operations, training as well as custom solutions & applications. He has been providing technical solutions to business problems for 20 years; covering nearly all industry sectors.
Formerly a Premier Field Engineer/Rapid Response Engineer for Microsoft Canada, he provided SharePoint and .NET expertise worldwide. While at Microsoft he was involved in several unique initiatives, including; Bad Guy Patrol and the Child Exploitation Tracking System (CETS). He has always been involved in user group and community-based initiatives, most recently a co-founder of the Calgary SharePoint User Group (CalSPUG). Jason has been a featured speaker at Microsoft TechDays 2011 (Toronto, Vancouver, Montreal), 2010 (Vancouver, Edmonton, Calgary) & 2009 (Calgary), Microsoft/DevTeach Improving Developer Productivity with SharePoint 2010 and Visual Studio 2010 (Calgary, Edmonton), SharePoint Summit 2010 (Montreal). Jason is available to speak to user groups across Canada; including Vancouver, Edmonton, Toronto, Montreal and Halifax.
For fun he does the typical “old-school” geeky/nerdy activities and is trying to convince his kids that programming is “cool”.

Michael ChuEvent HostPresident, OrganizerJason had a great presentation which covers a very broad experience on the SharePoint tools used along with custom actions.

Chris Buchanan+1 guestJason is obviously very familiar with the SharePoint family of products and he did a very good job of talking about how to best approach SharePoint development, through configuration,
extensions, and creating new components. I personally thought and hoped there'd be more focus on actual development, but none the less it was still a great presentation. My recommendation if he did this same presentation again in the future would be to actually show the creation of a workflow extension from scratch, albeit a simple one, and then show some of the community ones he downloaded. Watching someone deploy a prebuilt solution is rather mundane.
-
Rob DasHe didn't seem that well prepared. His demos failed. He didn't explain what he was trying to demo. I had hoped to learn what Sharepoint is all about and left without really understanding what it is and what it might be used for. Perhaps a simple case study might have been enlightening.

WesSharePoint is a beast, and this presentation showed that, whether the crowd appreciated it or not. Deployment is difficult, the API is ancient with its own pitfalls, and the VS project/solution structure is tricky to wrap your head around. So, if you were frustrated watching the presentation - honestly that's what SharePoint development is like! As for the theory of the presentation, it sounded as though "don't develop custom code" was the focus of the slides, however I think when talking to a developer group, we're looking for that as a one-page "warning" versus a series of slides to talk us out of why we came to the talk. :) Suggestions for improvement to Jason: Less PowerPoint, more code, and less jumping around from demo to demo. Jason was very knowledgeable and that was appreciated. The EDMUG team did a great job of organizing the event - thanks to all of you too!!!

Patricia MooreVery informative. I had to leave early but I acquired a lot of knowledge in a short time.
-
Mark ZachariasThe presentation seemed a bit rough. Just like using codeplex apps in business it's good to make sure they compile beforehand. A few assertations only applied to previous versions of SharePoint, since 2010 was presented that should have been at least noted if not left out. Reiterating to a dev group that coding is not the only solution was good to hear. Sometimes we get stuck in that mindset.
