Official SharePoint 2010 Certifications and Microsoft Official Curriculum Training Courses - SharePoint Joel's SharePoint Land

Four new MOC (Microsoft Official Curriculum Courses) which fit nicely with the 4 new exams.  I’m very pleased to say that the curriculum for these courses was written by many experts we work with closely in the community.  In fact the exams and courseware nearly all written by SharePoint MVPs.  Great to have the involvement of Rob Bogue, Spence Harbar, Dan Holme, and others in the development of the MOC courses.  Not sure I should say who were on the exam side, but let’s just say, they are people involved in the community that you’d likely see or hear from at a Tech Ed.  These courses are in beta through the month of May and early June.  You should start to see them pop up in (CLECs) Microsoft Certified Learning/training locations.

Microsoft Official Curriculum Classroom training (soon to be released from beta) for Dev & IT Pro:

• 10175A: TS Dev: Developing and Customizing Applications for Microsoft SharePoint
• 10174A:  TS ITPro:  Configuring and Managing Microsoft SharePoint 2010

Download details: 2010 IW Demo VM (Beta)

This download contains a two Virtual Machine set for evaluating and demonstrating Office 2010 and SharePoint 2010. Virtual machine “a” contains the following pre-configured software: 1. Windows Server 2008 SP2 Standard Edition x64, running as an Active Directory Domain Controller for the “CONTOSO.COM” domain with DNS and WINS 2. Microsoft SQL Server 2008 SP1 + CU2 Enterprise Edition with Analysis, Notification, and Reporting Services 3. Microsoft Office Communication Server 2007 R2 4. Visual Studio 2010 Beta 2 Ultimate Edition 5. Microsoft SharePoint Server 2010 Enterprise Edition Beta 2 6. Microsoft Office Web Applications Beta 2 7. FAST Search for SharePoint 2010 Beta 2 8. Microsoft Project Server 2010 Beta 2 9. Microsoft Office 2010 Beta 2 10. Microsoft Office Communicator 2007 R2 Virtual machine “b” contains the following pre-configured software: 1. Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard Evaluation Edition x64, joined to the “CONTOSO.COM” domain 2. Microsoft Exchange Server 2010 Active directory has been preconfigured over 200 “demo” users with metadata in an organizational structure. All of these user profiles have been imported and indexed for search within SharePoint Server 2010, with “contoso\administrator” granted administrator permissions. SharePoint Server 2010 has been configured in a “Complete” farm using Kerberos authentication and the default SQL Server 2008 instance for data, and has a site collection created using the Team Site template at http://intranet.contoso.com/ and a FAST Search Center at http://intranet.contoso.com/search/. Performance Considerations 1. If possible, unpack and run the VM image on a separate, fast hard drive (7200 RPM or better) from the operating system of the host machine. If this is being done on a laptop, a second internal drive or external eSATA drive works best, though USB 2.0 (make sure it's 2.0, 1.1 is too slow) or Firewire is acceptable. For absolute best performance use a second internal SSD drive. Passwords for all users in the CONTOSO AD are "pass@word1" (remove quotes) (including the Administrator account).

SharePoint Survey: How Organizations are Staffing Their SharePoint Teams Published

Published: March 06, 2010 18:03 PM by  Bill English   Powered by: Mindsharp and Summit 7

Basic Statistics

186 individuals completed the survey. There were no duplicate or secondary responses from the same organization, so our research represents responses from 186 different organizations. Not everyone completed the survey and I did include answers to questions from those who did not finish the survey. Hence, as we move through this survey and discuss the results, bear in mind that not all of the responses will equal 186. Some will be less, but none will be more. The first question was as follows: read more on this blog !
