Ty Anderson | April 13th, 2012

Ty Anderson | April 6th, 2012
Last week I covered some articles that discuss how Office 365 is not so great for the Microsoft Partner community just yet.

Ty Anderson | March 29th, 2012
The Cloud is a disruptive “technology”. I know it is more than a single technology so I put it in quotes. The Cloud is an idea that involves several technologies. For service providers, the Cloud is really messing things up…it’s disrupting the status quo... Read the rest of this entry →

Ty Anderson | March 16th, 2012
I think we are in for some exciting changes with the upcoming "Wave 15" releases from Microsoft. The way we interact with software will look drastically different in just a few years. Heck, looking back 5 years ago, who was predicting what we are seeing now? ... Read the rest of this entry →
Office 365 Newswire: SharePoint Online site templates – 3.9.2012
Ty Anderson | March 9th, 2012
Office 365 is still new enough that "introductory" and "first impressions"-type of articles are good things. This one is all about site templates. The author even offers some analysis of the page structure. I don't agree with their conclusion however... Read the rest of this entry →

Ty Anderson | March 2nd, 2012
One of the great things about the MVP Summit is hob-knobbing with other developers... particularly anyone that develops with the Office platform. I typically think of myself as an Office Developer, even when doing non-Office-related projects... Read the rest of this entry →

Video: Creating a custom SharePoint 2010 ribbon
Ty Anderson | February 23rd, 2012
I'm really intrigued by Office 365. I think the way Microsoft is marketing it (and pricing it) is compelling. What I like most is the potential user base it represents. I really like that I can build a solution and publish it. I really love that people can buy it and then use it during their day. It's a bit like writing words and then having you read them...

Office 365 Newswire: The benefits of CRM integration with Office 365 – 2.17.2012
Ty Anderson | February 17th, 2012
I'll admit that each of these articles have some informative information. Actually, that's what information is... informative. It's useful. Each of these articles are useful in their own way. For today's newswire, these articles also allow me to riff and offer my own thoughts and opinions without requiring me to write 15 or more articles... Read the rest of this entry →
Office 365 Newswire: How cozy are RIM, Microsoft? – 2.10.2012
Ty Anderson | February 10th, 2012
I don't know about this deal with RIM. I think it was made because it makes sense from the Office 365 side. Why wouldn't they want to support as many devices as they can? Of course it makes sense for RIM too... if only to slow all the negative momentum of the last couple of years. I disagree completely with the headline's implication... Read the rest of this entry →

Office 365 – Using jQuery with SharePoint Online
Pieter van der Westhuizen | January 30th, 2012
JavaScript, whether you love it or hate it, it's here to stay. Now, JavaScript does have its quirks and irritations, especially if you're used to managed code such as VB.Net or C#. However, despite the bad rep a lot of folks have given it, it is one heck of a powerful language... Read the rest of this entry →
Moving your existing Access database to Office 365
Pieter van der Westhuizen | January 27th, 2012
A few years ago I had a client who since they started their business used a Microsoft Access database to track their projects and the time their consultants worked on projects. As the company expanded the database grew up to a point where they realized an upgrade is needed. I was asked to move the database to a Microsoft SQL server backend, whilst keeping MS Access as the front-end... Read the rest of this entry →
