Microsoft leading the Magic Quadrant for Social Software in the Workplace through SharePoint

Leave a comment

Microsoft moved forward considerably on the 2010 Social Software for the Workplace Magic Quadrant.  Microsoft maintained its #1 position on the Ability to Execute axis and moved forward rather substantially on the Completeness of Vision axis, overtaking IBM 3and several other competitors there and coming very close to Jive.

Also it’s worth mentioning that there are two competitors who are NOT present in the 2010 Social Software for the Workplace MQ: Google and Cisco.

Google was dropped from this Magic Quadrant for 2010 due to the demise of Wave and Gartner’s lack of confidence in Google’s commitment to the enterprise.  Cisco, on the other hand, despite a year of heavy marketing of Quad to analysts and customer elites failed to meet the bar for market presence.

SharePoint Saturday Arabia Online event is back!1

Following from last successful event, this online event is scheduled for DEC 11, 2010.

Last March, we hosted the first instance of SharePoint Saturday Arabia and it was a success, thanks to our speakers and sponsors. It was a ten hour event with 15 Speakers, including 8 MVPs, and two simultaneous sessions running every hour. We had 750 registrants and around 150 attendees( Recording from the first event are still available here http://www.endusersharepoint.com/2010/04/05/sharepoint-saturday-arabia-wrap-up-recording-and-bonus-videos/ )

This is the second event and we are hoping for the same success and enthusiasm from our audience.

In the spirit of giving back to the SharePoint Community, the event admission will be free of charge, supported by people volunteering their time to speak on their favorite SharePoint topic.

We are now taking speaker submissions. Please download the speaker submission form. There are some new questions on there that you might not have seen if you have participated in previous SharePoint Saturday events since we are dealing with multiple timezones and continents.

We will take submissions only for 2010 material. Presentations will last one hour with possible Q&A continuing through the live blogging platform.

Creating a host-named site collection programmatically

Leave a comment

A host header is a third piece of information that you can use in addition to the IP address and port number to uniquely identify a Web domain or, as Microsoft calls it, an application server.

In SharePoint 2010, You can apply host headers at two different levels :

  • The Web application (IIS Web site) level
  • The site collection level

The following code snippet programmatically creates the host-named site collection with the URLhttp://training.sharepoint.com in the SharePoint Server 2010 Web application with the URLhttp://sharepoint

SPWebApplication webApp = SPWebApplication.Lookup(new
Uri(“http://sharepoint“));
SPSiteCollection sites = webApp.Sites;
SPSite Site = sites.Add(“http://training.sharepoint.com”, “Training”,
“Training Site”, 1025, “STS#0”, “domain\ayman”,
“Ayman El-Hattab”, “ayman@aymanelhattab.com”, “domain\marwan”,
“Marwan Tarek”, marwan@marwantarek.net, true);

You can also use PowerShell to achieve the same results, for more info refer to :http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc424952.aspx

Contributor Author to “SharePoint 2010 Unleashed”

1 Comment

A couple of days ago, SAMS announced the release of “SharePoint 2010 Unleashed” book, the successor of “SharePoint 2007 Unleashed”, one of the best-selling SharePoint books. This really means a lot to me since I’ve contributed to the book by writing Chapter 9, “Managing and Maintaining SQL Server in a SharePoint Environment”. I’m really excited about this and looking forward to writing a complete SharePointy book very soon, would you like to join ? Smile
