Last weekend, I had the opportunity to attend and speak at the SharePoint Saturday Ozarks event in Branson, Missouri.  There’s nothing like being in the Midwest at this time of year.   Mark Rackley did a wonderful job of organizing this event.  It was held at the amazing Chateau on Lake Resort.  This was without a doubt the most beautiful SharePoint Saturday venues I’ve seen.  Infragistics was a platinum sponsor.

Many of the key SharePoint usual suspects such as Rob Windsor and my friend Tom Resing were on hand to deliver outstanding talks.

My Talk:  Adapting to the Mobile SharePoint Enterprise Landscape

Abstract

SharePoint continues to dominate the market as the fastest growing Microsoft platform.  As SharePoint adoption and breadth of use widens, the rate of mobile users grows.  SharePoint professionals must be prepared to handle mobility.  We will examine Buy vs. Build options.  Build options and techniques will be presented.  We’ll build a Metro-style SharePoint application to demonstrate usability and SharePoint interface usage.
