My PowerShell posts always prove to be the most popular.  I showed all sorts of cool PowerShell tricks in my talk back at SPC12.  One of the things I covered was how to install and manage apps using PowerShell.  Since there is a corporate...
I had a great time last night at the Austin SharePoint Users Group ( @AustinSPUG ).  We had a great turnout and we had a good discussion of what the publication process looks like with SharePoint 2013 Apps in the Office Store.  Austin has a...
The great thing about living in Texas is that there is three SharePoint users groups less than three hours away from me.  I’m excited to have the opportunity to be speaking in Austin twice in the next couple weeks.  The first talk is tomorrow...
If you have tried to do any work with SharePoint 2013 Client Web Parts with the Office Developer Tools Preview 2 in Visual Studio 2012, you know it’s an exercise in frustration.  It literally locks up every three or four lines of code you try to...

When I first heard about an app store coming to SharePoint, I was excited.  I knew I wanted to be a part of it.  Today, I am excited to announce the release of three new apps for SharePoint 2013.  SP2 apps seek to help increase user adoption...
I’ve submitted a few apps to the SharePoint App Store now and of course I have screwed it up a few times.  The process has been fairly painless though so I thought I would share some tips from my experience so far. Watch your version numbers – The...
That’s a mouthful, but I wanted to make sure that people knew exactly what this post is for.  The problem I am seeing out there already is that while there is a lot of code samples, they aren’t clear for what type of app the sample is for. ...
