Tech Ed 2008 - IT Professionals 06/11/08 Recap
Another extremely productive day at Tech Ed. This day I primarily focused on the technology that is true and dear to my heart... SharePoint
The first session of the day highlighted the Solution Accelerators built for SharePoint. This session included a ton of information about the new Asset Inventory Tool (currently in beta through Microsoft Connect... can't wait to try this one), SharePoint Capacity Planning tool, SharePoint Monitoring Toolkit, and the Cross-Site Configurator.
The next session focused on the command that is true and dear to my administrator hat... STSADM. This session was delivered by Todd Klindt [MVP] in one of the small Green Theaters. I was very happy to attend this session and to meet Todd afterwards.
Soon after was the double-decker session for SharePoint Advanced Administration were the presenters were Todd Klindt [MVP], Shane Young [MVP], Joel Oleson [MVP] and Mike Watson [Microsoft IT]. These back-to-back sessions were very informative for an individual just looking to get their feet wet to the administrator looking for tips on what to modify for default settings.
After all these sessions I felt I needed to prove my worth in something other than in the IT Professional realm, so I took a little more time for a few practice tests and then passed the Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 - Application Development (70-542) exam for my 3rd SharePoint certification.
With how well that exam went, I'm looking to square out the "quad" with the Microsoft Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 – Application Development (70-541) exam at some point tomorrow.
More and More to come...
