Same but Different - Developing for SharePoint Online -- SPSSTLJohn Ferringer
Silverlight. Sandbox Solutions. JavaScript. The Client Object Model. These are components or features that can all be leveraged by developers in an on premises SharePoint environment, as well as Microsoft’s cloud offering for SharePoint: SharePoint Online. But while these similarities exist between the two SharePoint worlds, at the same time they’re vastly different. In on premises SharePoint environments, developers have many other appealing options to choose from that can make customization much easier and smoother than these client-side developer tools.
The difference in the cloud with SharePoint Online is that developers can’t choose other easier options over Sandbox Solutions, JavaScript, or the Client Object Model. In SharePoint Online’s world it’s Microsoft’s way or the highway, and that means that software designers and developers have to approach solution design and creation in a much different manner than for on premises custom solutions.
This class presents a comprehensive review of the tools and features available for development with SharePoint Online and then takes a closer look at their capabilities and limitations. It also explains the shift in decision making and solution design that needs to occur to turn SharePoint Online’s restrictions into opportunities, as well as looks at other available resources for development with SharePoint Online, such as Microsoft’s Azure offering or Amazon’s Cloud Services.
This 40 minute webinar will cover the features in SharePoint 2010 that make it an excellent tool for business collaboration. We will examine how SharePoint 2010 helps you deal with changing business needs and manage IT costs and complexity.

An overview of SharePoint 2010, with its new features, and how it stack up with respect to an end user, developer or administrator. We also differentiate SharePoint 2010 from MOSS 2007 in real business terms,along with some Business solutions that can be built using out of the box features.

Office 365 for IT Pros - SPS Michigan 2012John Ferringer
One of the common misconceptions about “the cloud” is that it can reduce a company’s IT overhead and expenses. That’s not to say that an organization can’t or won’t save money by going to a cloud service like Office 365, but there are a lot of times when the amount of effort involved in making that move is not immediately apparent. This session will provide attendees with an overview of the most common activities that organizations will find require technical expertise and knowledge when taking their business “to the Cloud!” with Office 365. It will also explore the technical details of those activities, providing IT Pros with an understanding of how they can be executed as well as tips and tricks to help ensure a successful deployment.
You have adopted Microsoft SharePoint in your organization and have end users requesting tools and applications in SharePoint. Is SharePoint really the solution? Now you need the ‘SharePoint Person’! That is the person who is the solution architect, information architect, infrastructure architect, administrator, developer and support analyst all rolled into one. What technical skills will that person or team need to have to be successful in building and supporting SharePoint Solutions. You will learn the types of SharePoint requests that can be received from end users based on a decade of experience in building SharePoint solutions, and link them to the skillets that are required by your SharePoint team. You will also understand the skills required to support and maintain an effective Microsoft SharePoint environment.
In this presentation we cover the main features of BI Dashboard with SQL Server 2008 R2.

Northridge Webinar Share Point 2010 Public Webjfarq
Microsoft SharePoint continues to accelerate as a platform for both “in front of the firewall” solutions and “behind the firewall” solutions. Gartner has reported that more than 50% of its own client organizations are using SharePoint in some capacity, and with the recent introduction of SharePoint 2010 exponential growth is further anticipated. During this session, Northridge SharePoint consulting experts will discuss how SharePoint is more than an enterprise intranet, enterprise content management, and BI platform -- SharePoint is a solid foundation for external web solutions.
Whether you are currently leveraging your organization’s SharePoint platform investment for your external web marketing or business solutions, or considering it, this webinar will be valuable in understanding how the SharePoint platform aligns with your business and marketing requirements, including areas such as:
• User Experience & Creative Design
• Web Content Management
• Search
• Custom Application Development
• Rich Internet Applications

Cloud computing has become a popular way to reduce capital and operational expenditures, renew IT innovation, and gain the advantage of more rapid software delivery to meet the needs of business. However, compliance, data sovereignty, sensitivity concerns, or a significant investment in customization may limit your organization's ability to take advantage of this. Today you can maximize your on-premises investment by upgrading to SharePoint Server 2016 and using hybrid scenarios in Office 365 to seamlessly leverage the cloud.
No one knows hybrid SharePoint like Bill Baer, Christian Buckley, and Rick Taylor. They all came together for one webinar to cover the state of SharePoint and where the future lies, best practices and key scenarios for hybrid, and how to implement a successful hybrid deployment.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work. He comes with around 20 years of solution engineering experience in application security, software continuous delivery, and SaaS platforms. He is known for his dynamic presentations in CI/CD and application security integrated in software delivery lifecycle.
Gopinath Rebala
Gopinath Rebala is the CTO of OpsMx, where he has overall responsibility for the machine learning and data processing architectures for Secure Software Delivery. Gopi also has a strong connection with our customers, leading design and architecture for strategic implementations. Gopi is a frequent speaker and well-known leader in continuous delivery and integrating security into software delivery.
