Webinar preview on YouTube

With another webinar completed today you’ll find the first 9 minutes or so available as a preview on YouTube.

This webinar covered SharePoint document libraries in depth. It showed how to not only upload documents but also create additional meta data fields. Attendees learnt how to use SharePoint’s check in / check out features along with version control to provide better management of documents. They saw how to create different views of your data as well as understand how to sort and arrange the information for quicker retrieval. Most of all they were given an understanding of document libraries beyond the basics which will helped get the most from this powerful SharePoint feature.

Today’s webinar on YouTube

I’ve upload the first 8 minutes or so of today’s SharePoint webinar to my YouTube channel as a bit of a preview for those who are interested.

SharePoint Questions and Answer 1

The full video is available for download by attendees upon completion of a short email survey. For those people that didn’t attend you can still purchase the webinar download via director@ciaops.com. Any of the previous webinars are available either on YouTube (in parts due to the 10 minute upload restriction) or download via director@ciaops.com. Subscribers to the Windows SharePoint Operations Guide always receive free access to the webinars live or on download (another great reason to subscribe!).

Look out for another webinar in about 2 weeks, the details will be posted to this blog soon.

Looking for topics

I’m in the process of developing the next of my webinars and thought it would be good to offer a SharePoint questions and answers session. Now I could come up with what I believe are the most relevant questions around SharePoint but I think it would better if people out there let me know what they’d like to know about when it comes to SharePoint.

For that reason I’m asking for people to submit any SharePoint questions to me directly (director@ciaops.com). They can be on the installation, implementation. migration and even how to sell SharePoint solutions. As an added incentive, if you provide a question that I use in the webinar I’ll give you free access to both the live presentation as well as any recording of the event made.

So please have a think about what you would like to know about SharePoint and send it to me (director@ciaops.com). I’m sure that you won’t be the only one who wants to know the answer and if you come up with a good one you’ll get free access to the webinar!

SharePoint webinar preview available

Having completed the next webinar in the SharePoint series (Basic SharePoint administration) today I have posted up the first few minutes as a preview on my YouTube channel:

<img src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-RVoPxtAluRk/UQn-8fjxbwI/AAAAAAAAINU/EaFjW3xfxmY/video8fd32ff7709d%25255B4%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" style="border-style: none" galleryimg="no" onload="var downlevelDiv = document.getElementById('0b9c03bd-806c-46af-8332-5deab02e31be'); downlevelDiv.innerHTML = "

http://www.youtube.com/v/x5SpLenZq84?hl=en&hd=1“;” alt=””>

Basic SharePoint administration (preview)

Because those that attended the 60 minute presentation had to pay to attend I am not planning to post the complete video online. However, for anyone interested in viewing the complete video can contact me directly (director@ciaops.com) to arrange a downloadable copy.

Given that the next webinar would normally be scheduled for Christmas Eve I have decided to reschedule it to Thursday 7th of January at this stage. If you are interested I’d suggest you get on the mailing list (director@ciaops.com) for updates or stay posted to announcements on this blog.

I hope that all those who attended today got something valuable and I look forward to having you on future webinars in 2010.

If you’d prefer to download the whole presentation directly to your desktop just send me an email (director@ciaops.com) and I’ll send you the link.

Watch out for our next webinar on Thursday the 10th of December. Details will be posted here soon.

I won’t bore you further

I’m not going to continue to prattle on constantly about my failures and hopefully some successes with SharePoint 2010, but I do want to take an opportunity to illustrate the fact that the testing, like you have seen over the past few posts, all ends up in my Windows SharePoint Operations Guide.

This means, that if you are a subscriber, you are going to save plenty of time by not having to determine how to get everything working. That is my job. I do all the hard yards testing and retesting all the options. Everything that I learn about SharePoint ends up in the Guide not just SharePoint 2010 but also Windows SharePoint Services v3 (WSS), Microsoft Office SharePoint Server (MOSS) and Business Productivity Online Suite (BPOS). It’s all there, with more being added every month.

I’m happy to announce that from December the complete Guide DVD will be available for download every month. Be warned, that means > 4.3GB of information through your Internet connection. It is also starting to look like I’ll have to expand the Guide onto a second DVD starting in the New Year. I’d challenge you to find a more comprehensive SharePoint resource (perhaps apart from Microsoft themselves) for the price. So if you are a subscriber watch out for the December update which will start to include information on SharePoint 2010.

Also, don’t forget our regular webinars. The next will be:

SharePoint Webinar resources

The first in what will be an ongoing series of webinars presented by the CIAOPS has been completed (An Introduction to SharePoint – 091112). Some of these will be free and some will have a small cost associated with them. When they are free, like this one was, I will post the video to YouTube. Unfortunately, YouTube doesn’t allow you to post videos greater than 10 minutes in duration so I have had to break the webinar into 4 parts which you can access via the graphics below.

Introduction to SharePoint – Part 4

If for some reason the links don’t work simply go to my YouTube channel – http://www.youtube.com/user/directorciaops

If you want the complete video to download and view simply send me an email (director@ciaops.com) and I will let you know how to obtain it. Also if you have any feedback please let me know as I want to keep improving what I offer.

At this stage I’m think that the webinar in two weeks will focus on actually using SharePoint at a basic level. For example, uploading documents, adding meta data and so on. I’ll confirm exactly what the next webinar will be and when it will be here. In the meantime, enjoy the presentation.
