Wow… this past year has been one hell of a ride. It all started by testing myself and chasing a dream of quitting the day job to go out on my own.

I’m excited that I’ll not only attend the SharePoint Conference 2008 in Seattle, WA in March 2008, but I’m also presenting two sessions!

Steve Peschka is at it again! Steve was the guy behind the Working with Large Lists in MOSS 2007 white paper published on TechNet this past July.

[via Microsoft SharePoint Developer Documentation Team Blog] Last week, in addition to the general availability of all the various 2007 Office System SP1 installs, the SharePoint developer team refreshed MSDN with a lot of updated and new content.

While the Office Developer Conference 2008 conference site does not reflect it yet, each of the tracks has posted their session manifest on the respective track blogs recently:

Make sure to install WSS SP1 before MOSS SP1. » Windows SharePoint Services v3 SP1 » Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 SP1

Our next meeting is on Thursday, December 20, 2007. Here’s the session title & abstract to help you get a better idea of what we’ll be discussing:

Go Gators baby… Go Gator Nation!

Earlier I blogged about two upcoming conferences for SharePoint professionals: the Office Developer Conference 2008 (Feb 10-13, 2008 - San Jose, CA) and the SharePoint Conference 2008 (March 3-6, 2008 - Seattle, WA).
