OakTree Software is one of the top ranked Microsoft training centers in the world! We teach both technical and End User SharePoint classes.

When our instructors are not in the classroom they are on consulting assignments. This allows them to share "real world" experiences to our students.

I gave a presentation last night to the SharePoint Users Group in Tulsa on how we built www.fanu.com. Although the site is not launched yet, I did not want to leave the group hanging in regards to our monthly meeting. Since we have been scrambling around trying to get the site finished out for launch, I didn't even have time to prepare anything. So, when I got there, It was me and an old school blackboard talking about SharePoint. I thought the meeting went very well and there was lively discussion, great questions and (hopefully) some solutions to problems that the folks were having in thier SharePoint environments.

I promise to come back after the site is launched to give a better presentation about the site with more "Show" and less "Tell"

Happy SharePointing !!

Ok, for those of you that haven't picked up on it yet, I have moved out of the DotnetNuke world and square into the SharePoint World. Not that I don't have great respect for DNN and all that it can do, I merely saw the value of SharePoint as a platform and decided that will be a better investment long term (check out my SharePoint Architecture Site for more info there :-))

But really, if you haven't seen it yet, check out the Community Kit For SharePoint out on CodePlex (and if you don't know what CodePlex is, check that out while you are there... Microsoft does SourceForge.. Team Foundation server Style ;-) ) )

There are LOTS of good nuggets of source code out there for SharePoiont and there are starting to be a slew of projects for lots of different things... I am feeling a MUCH bigger buzz much earlier on than I did with DotnetNuke and I am sure that with the platform Microsoft has prod ...

We had a great Turnout to the First Meeting of the SharePoint Study Group in Tulsa today. Many thanks to Heidi at Mesa for providing the facilites for the study group... I was a bit surprised that we filled the conference room !! It's a good thing and I look for great things to come of this study group. We have some great conversation and If I can keep on track and not try to jump too far ahead, I think we'll be ok :-)

Stay Tuned for more in regards to how many people we get Certified !!!!
