A few hours ago I found out I’ll be presenting at the Microsoft SharePoint Conference 2012 in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Here are the three sessions I will present.

I’m not kidding, it’s really all in this session!

Enhancing Reach and Accessibility with New Mobility Features in SharePoint 2013

Is mobility what you are looking to learn more about? If so, come check out this session. This session demonstrates how to take existing web sites built on SharePoint 2010 and enhance and upgrade them with the new mobility capabilities SharePoint 15 offers. In this session, real world examples show how the mobility enhancements in SharePoint 15 make it easier than ever before to provide robust, mobile enabled views of SharePoint web sites to any mobile device. During the demos in this session, multiple devices including mobile phones, tablets, and laptops will be used to show the web sites rendering specifically for each device.

Building Cloud-hosted apps for SharePoint with PHP and node.JS

Are you new to SharePoint, or do you also work with technologies like PHP and node.JS? If so, this is the session for you. In this session I’ll demonstrate how to make a provider hosted SharePoint app that integrates with a PHP web site running on Windows Azure. I’ll show how to call into SharePoint from the PHP web site and also how to integrate with data sources outside of SharePoint via a node.JS endpoint. This session demonstrates how folks who don’t use .NET or other MS web technologies can build their own SharePoint apps.

Hope to see you a the conference! Just a week or two left until ski season!!!!
