6. The Project

7. SharePoint 2010 WCM Platform

8. Extensions

9. Implementation

12. WHO

13. Why? SharePoint 2010 Wiki = poor in 2007 => Atlassian Confluence Blog engine => Joel on WSS 3.0, Mark on WordPress Publishing was v1.0 after MCMS “mash up” Discussion Groups poor => phpBB Duplicate content “SP1 is out!” “SharePoint Saturday Perth is on” Covering out of topic stuff to try and “pull punters” EndUserSharePoint.com covering Code ;-) Unify user base “One stop shop”

14. The Project

15. Infrastructure - FPWeb Production and Test Farm Shared SQL server with multiple instances SSL certs on both FAST!!! fpWeb = really helpful!

16. Look & Feel Marcy Kellar UX Heather Waterman & Corrie Haffly 1 day turnaround from concept design on initial blast Kyle Schaeffer Refactoring style sheets Final touches on CSS pixel pushing Browser support

17. Migration Atlassian Confluence WordPress Migrated to Publishing Pages Comments and Metadata Joel’s blog Custom .NET code to convert

18. DEMO Landing Page

19. SharePoint 2010 WCM Platform

20. Site Collections One for each area and then one for root

21. Authentication No one wants to deal with idiots who forget their password Claims Based Authentication Live ID

22. Managed Meta Data Categories in Articles, News Leveraged in Refiners Will be leveraged in Paged Content Query Web Partsfrom hard coded links in Navigation

23. Publishing Multiple Content Types Article News Podcast Wiki Pages Multiple Page Layouts Edit metadata in Page Controls Content Approval Extended Content Query Web Part is your friend!

24. DEMO CREATING ARTICLE

26. My Sites Not really designed for Internet “Organisation” Leveraging Managed Metadata Doesn’t work for anonymous

27. Search Search Refiners in use Managed Metadata: Category Content Author (not modified by) Will leverage FAST in next release

28. Blogs site template Rich Text Editor poor No video media Comments poor No Anonymous, AKISMET, CAPTCHA, subscription RSS poor Master page skin won’t immediately work CKS:Blog Site Template

29. EXTENSIONS

30. Aggregation Cross Site Collection All News All Events All Articles All Podcast All Wiki Pages

31. Comments Anonymous comments poor No: Metadata HTML Formatting Note Board relies on User Profile Recent Comments CAPTCHA

32. Community Equity - @jthake Service Application Real-time Top Views Top Contributors Top Rated

33. Web Analytics SP2010 RTM not enough stats Per Site Collection Google Analytics

34. Mega Drop Down (MDD) - @tomdietz Complex navigation Categories leveraging Search and Managed Metadata

35. RSS No way to really aggregate feeds No iTunes/Zune generation for podcasts

36. User profiles Anonymous can’t access Service Applications “Workaround” with internal reflection

37. DEMO EDIT MY DETAILS

39. Social integration Facebook Twitter

40. Forums – Lightning Tools – SocialSquared Discussion boards in SharePoint limited SQL back end Features Unread topic indication Topic and post moderation Email alerts for new topics and posts User post count Topic ratings User signatures Search Quote posts in your reply RSS support Full customization of look and feel

41. IMPLEMENTATION

42. BRANDING: DEVELOPERS vs DESIGNERS Don’t under estimate branding! Hard to find Designer who can build without Developer Doesn’t usually have Visual Studio to package Package better for deployment slower for changes than SharePoint Designer 2010

43. Balsamiq

44. Master Pages Starter Master Page Ribbon adds “challenges”

45. Page Layouts One per Content Type for now Page Controls ROCK!!! Image Picker not so much

46. Web Part Rendering XSLT Designers don’t need to touch Developers code = AWESOME!

47. Project per Site Collection Upgrading used Activate/Deactivate required Separation Some common WSP

48. Tools VS2010 CKS:Dev SharePoint Designer 2010 Balsamiq BIG BEEFY LAPTOP: 2 Quad i7, SSD + Hybrid, 16Gb RAM

49. Source Control BitBucket.org – Atlassian (Confluence, Jira) Mercurical using TortioseHg Free for up to 5 users, cheap for more ;-)

50. PowerShell is your friend Automated Builds Creating: Web App Site Collections Deploying WSPs Activating Features Adding Web Parts to pages Applying Security Setting Master Pages, Available Page Layouts, Content Types etc

51. Service Applications Use CKS:Dev template Complex Why? Windows Communication Foundation SQL Persistance Store Scalable Cross Web Application/Farm Because I can!
