I have a client that’s running Sharepoint 3.0. They’re interested in a project that will require me to program some Active Server Pages to interact with a SQL Server database. I can do everything I need to in ASP and SQL, I just need to know if Sharepoint will know what to do with an ASP page… (I’d prefer to use the older ASP, not .NET…)

Chosen Answer:

Your client will not want a page that is not using ASP.NET. If I were your project manager, I would refuse a ASP 3.0 solution.

You really should investigate how to build the solution with the current technology. If some of your work can be build as Web Parts, then your client will appreciate the flexibility of using your code on their site.

I am using the Announcements and Link web parts in Sharepoint Designer 2007. How do I remove the “Add New Announcement” and “Add New Link” links? I do not want them shown unless the person browsing is an admin.

Chosen Answer:

You need to set your security permissions by user groups within SharePoint. Depending on their privileges will dictate what they can and cannot do. You can customize their exact abilities within the enviorment as well. You can lock down web part controls in Central Administration as well. Remember that the ability to do anything in sharepoint is based on the end users role. Within Portal or WSS this remains true. Designer is not the place you want to set these settings at either. You need to use Site Collection administration for this.

Good Evening,

Google and yahoo are fairly useless these days for more and more searches :
I am in search of either free(ware) or open source software that can function as a chalkboard, a blackboard, and/or a whiteboard.

[seems like blackboard inc has a ridiculous patent that has curbed a lot of development in this area]

MS sharepoint and a lot of commercial groupware would be too expensive to deploy in low-budget school systems on the scale i’m desiring and for the most part have too many features that are not needed

what is mostly needed is the ability to group sketch/edit and thus collaborate from near or far on the board

whiteboard meeting comes close but the fact it requires skype eliminates it from contention

also some of the IM apps out there have some decent interactive sketching ability but afaik they only allow 2 people in a direct IM conversation to see and sketch the same image not a larger group of say 4 or 5 individuals

so any more suggestions?

HiveBoard – in development but claims to have many features working.

More specificly, I used a program a while back that let me create and add meta tags, keywords, etc to all pages in a website at the same time. I could change the title and all the other little stuff all at once. Now i can not remember the name of that program, any one know it? I think it was a front page add-on but i could br wrong.
I use ms sharepoint designer amung other things. thanks!

I was told Thursday to bring source code for an interview on Monday. Basically, most of the code I have is web stuff (asp .net, SharePoint web parts, javascript) which would have nothing to do with the job and some of my older code in C++ is just horrible. I do have a grades calculator in C# but it just seems to junior, but it’s the only piece of code I have that has a good OOP feel to it. I was planning to do a presentation and go through the entire SDLC of the code (including a flow chart of the input & output in Visio) but I keep thinking this is too junior. I’m sure the main goal of this was to see if I code a lot in my spare time but that’s impossible with 2 kids at home. I should have asked them to give me some requirements for a program they would want to see but it’s too late for all of that. Shoud I continue with the Grades Calculator presentation or do something else?

Chosen Answer:

I would be concerned if you brought a grades calculator to an interview, because it’s both an entry-level problem and there are countless versions floating around on the Web, so I might be worried you stole it.

I would think it wise to bring both that AND your ASP.NET stuff. Basically, you want to be able to prove you can work with the GUI but also can create elegant solutions; that would provide some comfort to me if I were interviewing you (albeit, not much).

UPDATE:

You sent me this comment via e-mail:

>>This is actually the second interview, so they already know I’m entry-level. … I actually built this May 06 and I wanted to expand it by writing all grades to a database and allowing students to see their grades via a web page. Do you think this is still a bad way to go? I am prepared to break all of my engagements this weekend much to my wife’s chagrin.

Since they know you’re entry-level, they’re probably more interested in whether you produce clean, well-documented code and whether you can work as part of development team — that is, take on some small part of a larger product and produce work that others can understand.

So, I would make sure your code is well-commented.

Another option is to find some open-source software — such as at http://www.sourceforge.net — and amend the code to either fix a reported bug, implement a requested feature, etc.

You don’t actually need to be a member of most projects in order to get the source code, view the bug reports or feature requests. You can always download the source code for any of those projects and tinker with it to your heart’s content.

I would feel very good about an entry-level team programmer if he demonstrated an ability to pick up a project that’s already underway, be given an assignment to work on some part of it, and he did so well and without harming the other parts of the program.
