| IN THE COMMUNITY | ||
There are many aspects to SharePoint: collaboration, document storage and retrieval, workflow, business intelligence, search, security, governance, and so much more. Along with that, there is literally a ton of documentation and technical information for using the software. The problem for many SharePoint users is, where is it all, and where do I find it? You see folks on Twitter longing for a unified site where all the SharePoint information can be stored, sorted and retrieved, kind of a SharePoint for SharePoint information! Since that doesn’t exist, the question remains: Where do I go for solid technical information on SharePoint? If you’re like me, you want to get your information from the horse’s mouth, so to speak. That’s not to say other sources aren’t reliable or informative; it’s just that if I buy, say, a toaster, I’d rather read the company’s manual than notes from Ed the repairman. Nina Ruchirat is a Microsoft senior content project manager, and she has provided to SPTechReport a large amount of technical information, sorted by role, and other SharePoint resources (see Linkapalooza below). She indicated that all canonical documentation from Microsoft has been written, edited and technology reviewed through the SharePoint product team, and that the content group is placing a greater emphasis on social media and community content, with an eye toward best practices and case studies. Microsoft’s Ruchirat will be presenting a session at SPTechCon 2012 February in San Francisco on navigating through these sites to find the exact information you’re looking for. She also asks the community to give her feedback at @MSNinaR on Twitter for the types of content people most desire. “We’re focused on discoverability, and programming instant answers via search,” she said. “We want to get this content out and into people’s hands.” We hope you find this as helpful as we have. — David | ||

| Mindjet announces visual collaboration software for SharePoint | ||
Mindjet yesterday released Connect SP for SharePoint, software that the company said provides visual collaboration and enhanced document discovery features for enterprises looking to increase adoption within their organizations. The software, according to the company, provides a more intuitive visual display that makes it easier for workers to share ideas on projects while locating information faster and collaborating directly inside the SharePoint environment. “Connect SP displays information in a visual manner, so team members can better understand and align on critical issues and plans,” said Blaine Mathieu, chief product officer at Mindjet, in a statement announcing the software. Connect SP, an extension of the company’s Connect collaboration software, works off the existing SharePoint implementation’s infrastructure for managing governance, security and compliance issues. It uses the Connect mapping client for capturing and organizing ideas and information in a single view. | ||

| Using HTML5 and CSS3 with SharePoint 2010 | ||
In one of my previous articles, I talked about how everyone at conferences asks about mobile, but I’d say the second most frequently asked question is about HTML5 and SharePoint. HTML5 is certainly the future of the Web, but as a person that leans toward the design side of things, I really think CSS3 is way more exciting.
