After a long and very busy time working on projects and books I am back
online with some cool stuff. I will be speaker in SharePoint Conference 2008
Dubai. I have picked up 3 subjects for my presentations that you can find the
complete conference
agenda here.
- Using Excel Services to build BI solutions: I personally believe
this title is not well articulated. I guess Excel Services is something that
everybody should explore it personally so I am not going to completely cover
features and capabilities of excel services. I will do my best to deliver
the presentation so that the audience can repeat the experience themselves.
This lecture will include:
- Excel services from scratch (how to have it running from a clean
installation)
- Excel services architectural design (Data sources, trusted
locations, security structure)
- Using Excel Services to bring data from SQL Server to MOSS interface
with data graphs
- Using Excel Services to bring Analysis Services Cube data and graphs
to MOSS Server
- Excel Services and BI components (Introducing MOSS out of box and
how excel services interacts with MOSS BI lists and BI Dashboard)
- Q&A
- Building applications using MOSS 2007 web services: Don't get me
wrong, this presentation is not for developers. I am targeting
IT-Professionals and I am trying to keep it at 200 level. Here is my
presentation outlines:
- What is XML Web Service?
- How can we call XML Web Services without code (I am targeting
InfoPath)?
- Introducing built-in XML Web Services in MOSS 2007.
- Connecting XML Web Services and MOSS 2007 document libraries using
InfoPath 2007 glue (Hay InfoPath 2007 glue
is NOT a product name - lol).
- How to deploy these XML Web Service containing InfoPath forms to the
MOSS 2007 forms server
- How can developers build custom Web Services to expose more MOSS
features
- Office Automation using Microsoft Word 2007 and MOSS 2007: This
is basically a case study around using Microsoft Word 2007 XML file that is
also called WordML. This presentation is basically an open discussion around
using WordML files instead of normal word files. I am just trying to explain
how easy it is to utilize your basic XML Programming skills to manipulate
sections of the WordML files.
I really appreciate if you spare a minute or two and give me your feedback.
