The first SharePoint Saturday was held in New Zealand on Saturday the 11th of December. I may be a little biased but I think the event was a real success with at least 80-100 people, close to 20 sessions and 17 speakers. A big thanks to all our sponsors, the speakers and also the other organisers. These events are a lot of work to put on so it wouldn’t have been possible without all of these people!
Any of the session slides that have been made available by the speakers are up on the site and we will continue to try and get the rest. Look forward to seeing everyone at next years event…
My session was in the developer stream and built a SharePoint 2010 Alerting solution to show how 1) to build a custom WCF web service that returns JSON, 2) how SP.UI JavaScript namespace is used to interact with the status bar, notifications and modal dialogues and 3) how to call web services from jQuery. The session slides are provide below for anyone that wants them:
