MOSS 2007 is XHTML compliant out-of-the-box
Recently, while gathering resources for a presentation on MOSS 2007 WCM I'll be giving next week for a Dutch SharePoint community, I have stumbled upon something interesting. Did you know that MOSS 2007 is XHTML compliant out-of-the-box? Well, neither did I. But it is so, according to CMS Matrix.
SharePoint developers don't know what accessibility is
Since a couple of months I've been following the SharePoint Forums @ MSDN. Most of the time I'm just checking whether there are some new questions on Web Content Management (WCM) in MOSS I could answer. Each day there are posted around 100 new questions, so you could say that SharePoint is a quite popular product and the community is really busy with it.
Performance of content aggregation queries on multiple lists revisited
Recently I have done some research on performance of various approaches to querying information from multiple lists. While reading Andrew Connell's book on WCM development I have discovered that I have missed one important approach. It turns out that it's probably the best bet in the most Web Content Management (WCM) solutions being often under heavy load. Curious about the results I have added it to my test project.
Getting quickly to the VirtualDirectories folder in Explorer View
I'm a big fan of using the Explorer View: it provides you much more overview of the file system and allows you to access other directories with a single click even if they are located in a different branch on the file system.
Always consider the source when doing research
Wow, Andrew Connell has just posted quite a comment on how CMS Watch has been reviewing SharePoint for the last couple of months. I've been following CMS Watch for a few months now and I have to agree with Andrew: there hasn't been a single positive word about SharePoint published by CMS Watch. For customers, who rely on their opinion and report, it might seem that SharePoint is nothing but an experimental CMS.
