NEW : Microsoft TechNet Forums

We are moving TechNet into a more open and community/social based world. I hear a lot of debate as to whether IT Professionals will see value in features such as social bookmarking, tagging, and other community types of features that seem to be popular for example with developers. As someone that spent 10 years as an IT professional prior to Microsoft, I have my opinion... Dan Truax on Microsoft TechNet Forums

Arpan Shah's Blog : SharePoint End User Security

Security covers a number of topics when it comes to software. Everything from locking down a system to end user security. There is absolutely no doubt that security is extremely important and should be taken seriously. And it's no surprise that security is one of the most frequently asked questions when I present to executives and IT professionals. So here's my attempt at providing the SharePoint End User Security 101 covering different aspects of what enterprises need to think about. By no means is this article comprehensive, but touches upon aspects of SharePoint end user security that I get asked about frequently. read more on : Arpan Shah's Blog : SharePoint End User Security Thanks Arpan for this article in 7 points

Automate Web App Deployment with the SharePoint API

Read an excellent article on MOSS / MSDN - Learn how to automate custom SharePoint application deployments, use the SharePoint API, and avoid the hassle of custom site definitions. by Ethan Wilansky - Paul Olszewski - Rick Sneddon is a Senior Infrastructure Specialist for EDS in its Integration Engineering practice and an MCSE.

---
In this article, we will show you how to automate custom SharePoint application deployments by taking advantage of the SharePoint API. Following this approach allows you to avoid having to create and maintain a custom site definition. You benefit from a more modular set of components to deploy and manage in your source control system, which is an essential part of a continuous integration effort. Finally, you are following a model that Microsoft will continue to improve in the coming years.
We will explain how you can leverage the SharePoint object model to automate deployment from Web application creation to Feature activation. The Visual Studio® code project included with this article provides a number of code samples that demonstrate how to automate some essential tasks in a custom deployment.
Along the way, we will explore tools and techniques provided by Microsoft and members of the SharePoint developer community that we have found to be especially valuable in your quest toward a fully automated deployment. Read all in MOSS 2007: Automate Web App Deployment with the SharePoint API - Code download available... by E. Wilansky, P. Olszewski, and R. Sneddon

CryptoCollaboration For SharePoint 2007 on CODEPLEX

Project Description Crypto Collaboration for SharePoint 2007
(works for both Microsoft Office Server 2007 as well as Windows SharePoint Services 3.0)

Presents a native end-to-end encryption solution targeted at SharePoint lists and their related metadata.

One of the largest tribulations that exists within current collaboration systems is the reliance on making objects security aware based solely on provided principle attributes, characteristically noticed in SharePoint through its indigenous options for security trimming the interface. While this is certainly a method that promotes some level of privacy, security, and data integrity, it does not account for data storage while information is considered in a transitional state.

Furthermore, this is amplified by the fact that numerous industry regulations require that when organizational data is stored in a system as SharePoint, that it is not directly callable in plain text, however promotes a secondary layer of privacyCryptoCollaboration is broken up into two primary segments, the Crypto Collaboration Encryption Engine (CEE) and its related SharePoint interface components.

The CEE is called directly from the ECB (Edit Content Block) menu provided by the native SharePoint ListFormWebPart (your orthodox SharePoint list interface), pooling all the fields that are considered encryption worthy and encrypting or decrypting them based on user interaction. Since there are current limitations to the fields out of an arbitrary list item that can be harvested (field types such as URL’s demand that certain formats be used and therefore cannot be subject to encryption operations).

Once the encryption / decryption operations are triggered, the CEE will encrypt / decrypt the stored fields with an algorithm that the user selects out of the interface (currently supported encryption algorithms are RC2, Rijndael (AES), Triple DES, or BlowFish).

All code that the CEE leverages is CLS-Compliant and 100% managed.

There are three files that are included in this release.

CryptoCollaboration Installation v 0.0.0.1.doc - This document contains the instructions for installing the CryptoCollaboration SharePoint Solution file.
CryptoCollaboration Operations Instructions v 0.0.0.1.doc - This document contains the operations guide for using the CryptoCollaboration product itself.
CryptoCollaboration.zip - Contains the SharePoint solution file and the deployment files that are required to use CryptoCollaboration in your environment.

Auto Complete text field and What's new web part

Today i've stumbled upon two new goodies at Jan Tielen's blog:

1- the first one is the auto complete text field :

"The idea is pretty simple: you've got a SharePoint list (or document library) that contains some interesting lookup data, now you can make use of the Autocomplete Text Field to display a textbox to the user that will show a dropdown list of items that start with the text the user already entered. When the user types more (or less) text, the dropdown list will adapt to that and update the contents. All of this is made available as a new column type (aka custom field type) in SharePoint 2007. The beauty of this field is that it doesn't need to do a page postback to refresh the data, the ASP.NET AJAX extensions are used to fetch the data in the background"

get it from here

2- what's new web part for MOSS:Improved version of what's new web part jan developed for SPS.
get it from hereThank you Jan for your Great Efforts

WROX Pro MOSS WCM 2007 Book: It's Finally Finished! (available June 2008)

It's been a long process, but this week the light at the end of the tunnel was very bright. Yup, the book I've been working on for the better part of the last 9 months is finally finished. The book, Professional Professional SharePoint 2007 Web Content Management Development: Building Publishing Sites with Office SharePoint Server 2007, is for developers who are working on building Publishing sites using MOSS 2007. I did not spend a great deal of time rehashing a lot of WSS 3.0 concepts, there's not much in the way of Excel Services, Forms Services (aside from the forms in the workflow chapter), SSP's or BDC... it's 100% pure Publishing sites.

Right now the manuscript is 100% complete... WROX has everything and there is nothing left to write. The book is now in process of getting prepp'ed for printing by the production folks at WROX... looks like it will be available sometime in the next 2 months... definitely in time for TechEd in Orlando. It is presently available Amazon for preorder.

Here's what the complete TOC looks like:

Embarking on Web Content Management Projects
Windows SharePoint Server 3.0 Development Primer
Overview of Web Content Management in Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007
SharePoint Features and the Solution Framework
Minimal Publishing Site Definition
Site Columns, Content Types and Lists
Master Pages and Page Layouts
Navigation
Accessibility
Field Types and Field Controls
Web Parts
Leveraging Workflow
Search
Authoring Experience Extensibility
Authentication and Authorization
Implementing Sites with Multiple Languages and Devices
Content Deployment
Offline Authoring with Document Converters
Performance Tips, Tricks and Traps
Incorporating ASP.NET 2.0 Applications

No way could I have completed this work on my own... books like this always have a lot of people involved. First, I have to extend a huge thanks to Spencer Harbar for being instrumental in developing the structure, tone and contributing a few chapters to the book as well as Bob German, Matt McDermott and John Holliday who all contributed chapters (6 in total). I also owe a big thanks to a few people at Microsoft for supporting and answering some detailed questions I had in the process: Arpan Shah (who also wrote the forward), Jim Masson, George Perantatos and Tyler Butler.

In addition, this book was tech reviewed by some fantastic individuals. The folks at Ascentium stepped up and reviewed a ton of content under the leadership of Jason Conway: Stefan Gordon, Cale Hoops, Jared Lasater, George Olson, Michael Panciroli, Clint Simon, Roxana Tzau & Thomas Wyrick. It was also tech reviewed by some of my fellow SharePoint MVPs such as Patrick Tisseghem and a special hats off to Dan Attis & Brendon Schwartz who really jumped in at the last minute to help meet a deadline.
I can't wait to see the finished product as I'm really happy with how this thing came together. I hope you enjoy it too when it's available!
