European SharePoint Best Practices Conference
Posted by Dave Mellors | Filed under SharePoint
Last week I attended the European SharePoint Best Practices Conference in London and was really impressed with the quality of the speakers, the venue and the amazing amount of organizaton that must have gone into putting the conference on. Well done Combined Knowledge and everyone else involved – I certainly hope to be back for the next one.
I plan to write some posts based on notes I took during the conference. These are mainly to help me remember things but I hope that they might be of interest to you as well. I will start with the Keynote presentation…
The keynote presentation was given by SharePoint Joel and it was a good effort involving a Monty Python “killer bunny” and some good points about how to achieve SharePoint success. Joel described SharePoint as hot plastic where you need to plan your mold because once set making changes to SharePoint isn’t going to be easy and I think it is fair to use this for describing SharePoint Infrastructure (aaargh! the frustration!!!) but I don’t think it is a good description for SharePoint itself which I would consider to be far more flexible. If I had to make a criticism of Joels keynote I would say it would be that he focused too much on a “traditional IT” view of Sharepoint rather than the benefits of SharePoint technology.
