Let’s face it.  In SharePoint 2010, creating ribbon custom actions was not a very pleasant experience.  You had to know the inner workings of the XML and the black-magic behind selecting the right Id in the CommandUIDefinition .  We had...
If you’ve followed me post , you have a good start on working with Client Web Parts with the new SharePoint 2013 app model.  In an app part, everything you do is inside an IFRAME.  You need to remember this whenever you create links inside your...
In the past, licensing for Extranets proved to be quite confusing.  Many people including myself weren’t always sure what to recommend.  I found this useful information in the slide deck for SPC181 and I thought it was worth sharing since I...
Most people don’t know this yet, but paid apps went live last week and my app, SP2 Feedback , happens to be the only one available for purchase. :)  Since many are curious about the process, I thought I would post some screenshots of the process...
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...
I started doing conference readiness checklists last year at SPC11 and I wanted to continue the tradition with #SPC12.  Mark Freeman ( @SPHotShot ) has already produced a great guide and I wanted to add my two cents. What to pack: Chargers / Power...
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. ...
Sometimes, it pays to read the manual .  I happened to glance at it while I was doing my installation last night and noticed that there are four required hotfixes you need to install prior to installation of SharePoint 2013 RTM.  You install...
I’m working on my PowerShell for SharePoint 2013 (SPC195) talk for SPC12 and I find this new cmdlet so useful I thought I would share it immediately.  The cmdlet is Copy-SPSite and it’s easy to use.  Just run it and before you know it, you’ll...
I’ve recently taken an interest to building Windows Store Apps (aka Windows 8 Metro).  Not because I think I can get rich in the Windows Store but because I think it provides a unique way to present SharePoint data.  If you’re like me, you probably...
We have a brand new REST based API for interacting with Search in SharePoint 2013 Preview.  Unfortunately, there is not a lot of information out there yet on how to interact with it.  I have pieced together a couple of bits to help get you started...
Windows 8 recently hit RTM and became generally available to MSDN and TechNet subscribers in the last couple of weeks.  If you run Windows 8 Enterprise, one new feature you gain is the ability to use Hyper-V.  I personally was excited to try...
NOTE: This post is build with Visual Studio 2012 RC and Preview 1 of the Office Developer Tools.  See this post for an update with Preview 2 of the Office Developer Tools and the RTM version of SharePoint 2013. I am extremely interested in the new...
Napa is a great way to get started building SharePoint 2013 apps with Office 365.  It provides you an easy-to-use editor that allows you make changes to your app right in your browser.  One nice feature it has is to allow you to take what you...
If you have installed SharePoint 2013 Preview, you might have noticed that pretty much every bit of available memory is being consumed.  Where is it all going?  Search of course.  In my post from last week, I mentioned noderunner.exe. ...
