Yesterday, was one of those crazy days. While on the phone working out details of my next consulting contract, I found out via twitter that I was the winner of the Pluralsight Windows 8 Tablet. Wow, I could not believe it. Since I did not attend //build, I was hoping to get one of those tablet sometime before Windows 8 launch date, but I decided to wait for the right time. Now, thanks to Pluralsight, I will have one and just in time for the Windows 8 Consumer Preview and Visual Studio 11 beta.
Then I needed to get ready to run some errands, and then another email came in for another potential contract, nice.
Of course, I needed more, so I decided to attend a Parallel Data Warehouse talk at the NYC SQL User Group at the Microsoft Office in midtown NYC and what happens, I win the raffle for an Amazon gift certificate. Weird in a good way.
So thank you Pluralsight and Thanks to the NYC SQL User Group for making my day!!!.

On November 16, I gave a presentation to a room full of SharePoint Developers and Admins on the use of PowerShell in SharePoint. This was a follow-up presentation to the PowerShell instroduction presentation I gave back in September. I was pleasantly surprised to see many familiar faces from the NYC Metro SharePoint community. Even more surprising, the positive feedback received.
Thanks to all those who showed up.

Back in September, I presented part 1 of my PowerShell for SharePoint Developers talk where I provided a generic introduction to PowerShell. As a follow-up, I will be presenting Part 2 on November 16th at the SharePoint Developers User group where we will start by reviewing key PowerShell concepts discussed in Part 1, then look at SharePoint PowerShell implementation as well explore the various categories of SharePoint specific PowerShell CmdLets. Finally we will apply the concepts in scripts manipulating the SharePoint object model.

Hope to see you there.

On Thursday October 13, I presented my talk titled “Light up your out-of-the-box LightSwitch application” to a group of about 30 developers. I was surprised to know that at least one individual was already looking at deploying production applications using LightSwitch while a number of others were interested. The talk centered around the customization of LightSwitch application including the use of custom or third-party extensions. Basically a slightly modified version of the Code Camp NYC talk.
