SPC 2008 Day 4

This was the final day of SPC 2008. It was a great conference and I'm really glad I came.

The day started with a session from Russ White in PSS. He was talking about how MSFT PSS troubleshoots SharePoint problems. The title was a little misleading since Russ spent about half of the talk providing best practices for capturing information about the problem (nothing to do with SharePoint). The actual SharePoint data was a little lite. Would have been nice to focus on SharePoint.

Next I went to Tyler Butlers presentation on deploying solutions and content throughout the farm. Tyler gave some solid practical advice for the content deployment tools. He also showed some information about known problems with the tools. He mentioned that in the next 90 days an update that addresses several more fixes should be coming out.

The final session was presented by Andy Hopkins and Paul Learning. They talked about their findings from creating a highly scalable SharePoint solution. The information they shared was priceless. I'm so happy that MSFT made the investment to really find out what SharePoint can do. This made me feel much better about what we are doing.
