Microsoft SharePoint & Office Day
An Intensive Day on Information Worker Applications
Join us at the Microsoft SharePoint and Office Day at Moscone Center West in San Francisco, March 27, to get a jump start on one of the hottest areas for 2007, namely SharePoint Products and Technologies and the 2007 Microsoft Office system.
You’ll hear both experienced practitioners and Microsoft insiders describe how to use the full range of extensibility features in Windows SharePoint Services 3.0, Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007, and the capabilities the 2007 Microsoft Office desktop applications bring to the table as SharePoint site clients.

10:30 a.m.
This session starts you off with an overview of how Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 works, jumps immediately into a walkthrough of how to access farms, servers, site collections, sites, and site contents from your own code, and ends with how to create definitions for both site features and entire sites. This is part one of a two-part series on Microsoft’s platform for Web-based workspace solutions.
Extending Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 with Web Part, Event Handling, and Workflow Components – Part 2
Mike Ammerlaan, Microsoft Corporation

SharePoint sites can draw on a wide variety of components to add new functionality. The Web-based user interface can be extended using Web Parts. Documents can be put through detailed workflow activities. Virtually any change to a site or its contents can be evaluated, approved/rejected, or modified by event receivers. The feature and site definitions covered in the previous session can reference these components to add new capabilities to SharePoint sites. This is part two of a two-part series on Microsoft’s platform for Web-based workspace solutions.
