SharePoint Saturday Chicago Session Recap
SharePoint Saturday Chicago was this past Saturday, June 13th at the Tribune Tower in Chicago.
Kudos to Kris Wagner and the rest of the organizing committee for pulling off a great event, I’m already looking forward to next year.
My session was titled: Building Public Facing SharePoint Sites. Using a SharePoint publishing site that I built out for the presentation, I went over the following:
- Publishing workflow
- Topology of the solution
- Tips for organizing your Visual Studio solutions
- Using publishing site definitions
- Packaging your run-once assets
- Configuring and running content deployment
- Setting up anonymous access
- Special considerations for public sites
As promised, here is my presentation, and the complete source code for the publishing site that I demo’d.
There was some great discussion, it was helpful to hear about the experiences of other people working on SharePoint publishing sites – it was comforting to see that we all also suffered over the same issues!
