I develop web applications using coldfusion, asp.net, sharepoint, html, c# and integrate them with new databases which I have the ability to build old databases already in existence. For this I use SQL. Apparently the term Webmaster does not indicate the level of development that it takes to build full-blown applications. What’s the latest buzz word for what I do? Think big, my raise is depending on it
Oops. I meant to say “….integrate them with new databases which I have the ability to build OR INTEGRATE INTO old databases already in existence…”

One of my requirements is to use an event on Sharepoint designer such as onMouseOver. I want to be able to make a list, and then when the mouse goes over it, have it turn a different color. How would I do this?

I’m currently trying to start a small web design and development business on the side of my full time job – I’m working with C#, ASP.NET, SharePoint and Umbraco. My hope is that I can make it my full time job in the next few years, if it all works out.

I’ve been looking at software costs (as I work with almost completely Microsoft products) and the costs are very high to get visual studio, and some of the server software I’d like to use for development.

I have been looking into the BizSpark program, and its clearly a fantastic thing that Microsoft is doing, but I can’t quite work out if my business is appropriate / eligible for it?

I designed a website on Sharepoint 2007. Now when I posted it (using GoDaddy) the pictures don’t show. This includes the buttons, (they still have hyper links, but you can’t see what they’re for. I called GoDaddy, and they don’t know what it is. I tried uploading the pictures onto GoDaddy (they are on my H-Drive) but they still don’t show. And lastly, I can’t view the website correctly on Google Chrome. Thanks!!

I have been building web sites for some time now (using Dreamweaver – but almost exclusively working with the code directly). I have been asked to build a site and I’ve been told that they are running sharepoint 2010. This is fairly new to me as I’ve always built sites for Apache on Linux in the past.

I’ve done some research and it looks like sharepoint is a sort of cross between a web server / sql server / Front Page. Is this so? This might just be me being snobbish, but isn’t that just a sort of lazy (and very expensive) way to do something not very special? Call me old school but I quite like coding directly and working with .conf files – having WYSIWYG editors and set-up wizards make me feel like I’m not building a site, that its being done for me.

I can’t really see much point in it tbh, but I could be wrong. If any of you have used sharepoint and/or can shed more light on it for me, that would be much appreciated.

Thankyou

At my job, I maintain a small sharepoint site (not 2010).

Its good for being able to share files and information, but I hated that it was so static. I couldn’t completely customize the way it looked. You can make a webpart that is HTML/CSS code and format that however you want. But that Webpart fits within the normal page structure. Without a lot of hassle, there is no good way to completely customize the looks on a controlled sharepoint system.

I kinda wish we just had a regular site instead for my project. Sharepoint can be quick and dirty though.
