Black Ninja Software is sponsoring DevTeach/SQLTeach in Vancouver, 2009! And we’re speaking too!

Our SharePoint Ninja, Shereen Qumsieh, will be talking about Leveraging Telerik Controls in SharePoint:

Telerik currently offers a full suite of powerful UI controls which seamlessly integrate into SharePoint and help developers build feature rich and highly responsive user interfaces for MOSS and WSS. In addition to their standard suite, Telerik offers a free version of the built in rich text editor that is cross browser compatible and offers support for the macintosh platform. This session will walk you through the steps for building SharePoint Web Parts and Custom Application Pages with specific code examples that leverage Telerik to provide a richer end user experience. We’ll cover a specific subset of the Telerik Web Controls including: RadGrid, RadComboBox, RadAjax and RadCalendar and I’ll also demonstrate briefly how to setup the Telerik RadEditor for SharePoint.

I (yups, SQL Ninja at Black Ninja Software) will be talking about Powershelling your SQL Server 2005/2008:

If you have used any kind of shell scripting before, you know how it can help automate tasks quicker and more efficiently. Powershell, a scripting language that leverages Microsoft .NET Framework, is finally supported in SQL Server. This session will dive deep into how you can use Powershell to create, maintain, manage and troubleshoot your SQL Server databases. This session will also cover differences between using Powershell in SQL Server 2005 and 2008.

A good friend, Yaroslav Pentsarskyy, will be talking about integrating Outlook with MOSS:

In many organizations SharePoint has become one of the most common collaboration tools. There is still, however, a habit of users trying to collaborate using Microsoft Outlook – sending versions of documents to one another. In this session, we’ll look at how you can integrate Microsoft Outlook 2007 and MOSS 2007 so that users can save their email attachments to predefined document library or their �My Site�. This powerful example will also uncover many other integration capabilities between MOSS and other MS Office 2007 applications. Having a convenient integration, users in many organizations will see more benefits in utilizing MOSS for their daily tasks. Participants will be supplied with the sample allowing them to implement the solution in their work environment.
