Free SharePoint 2010, SharePoint Designer 2010 and InfoPath 2010 Videos

With so much new information on the SharePoint 2010 Products and Technologies, it's hard to talk about all of it using just words or screenshots. To that end, I have produced several videos showing demonstrations of the new functionality, which I covered at my sessions at SPC, on the following page:

More videos soon! Enjoy!

New Videos on SharePoint Installation and Configuration

Following are the new videos we posted this week for our site Subscribers:

  • This video presents and talks through the architecture, pre-requisites and preparation required to plan for a WSS 3.0 or MOSS 2007 installation. It shows the supporting services required for the installation and also how to plan for the OS, IIS, and other requirements that serve as the necessity for planning a successful SharePoint deployment.

  • This video demonstrates the process of installing WSS 3.0 and MOSS 2007 as a single server install. Then it shows how to setup some of the global settings that need to be immediately configured after the install. The video also examines how to assign server roles in a SharePoint server farm.

  • This video shows the process of setting up initial configuration settings that need to be made on a new SharePoint installation. Administration tasks such as setting up services across multiple servers is also shown. Incoming and outgoing mail settings are demonstrated. Also, the installation of pdf ifilter is demonstrated so that pdf files can be indexed and searched by SharePoint.

More coming up next week. 

We are eagerly awaiting the time when we can show you SharePoint 2010 information. We have already started creating videos on it. It's going to be super exciting stuff!

SharePoint 2010 Sneak Peek Videos

Wanna get a sneak peek at what Microsoft SharePoint 2010 looks like? You can check out the new features in the videos on this page at Microsoft's SharePoint site. There are 3 videos out there: Overview, IT Pro and Developer focused. Keep in mind that you will need Silverlight in order to watch these videos so please download it first if you don't have it installed already.

Since I'm not a developer anymore, my focus was more so on watching the Overview and the IT Pro videos. Here are a few things to look out for which are discussed in the videos:

Tom Rizzo's Overview video

  • SharePoint Designer's new UI and the enhanced capabilities (my favorite of course :-))
  • Visio Server integration
  • SharePoint Workspace (formerly Groove)
  • Editing content directly and easily on web pages
  • Silverlight web part
  • Multiple browser support
  • The new BDC (now called Business Connectivity Services)

Richard Riley's IT Pro video

  • The new and easy to use look of SharePoint's Central Administration
  • SharePoint Best Practices Analyzer
  • Support and guidance for working with large Lists
  • Usage Reporting
  • How Visual Upgrade will work

I don't know about you, but I'm Super Excited about the new version of SharePoint. As soon as I am allowed to (which is most probably late October), I will be posting Lots of screencasts on the SharePoint-eLearning.com website to show you the new functionality in SharePoint 2010. Stay tuned...
