This year again I have the opportunity to speak at the SPS New Hampshire. I’ll give a speech about the multilingualism capabilities of SharePoint “Translating SharePoint from beginning to ending”. We’ll talk about how you can successfully implement an multilingual intranet, team sites or public sites using SharePoint. If you’re in the area Saturday October the 24th 2015 don’t hesitate to register to the event. Just as a reminder SPS are free events organized by the community with lot of great sessions.

At some point you may want to add permissions to the “everyone” “groupe” of SharePoint. Indeed this will allow you to set permissions to all users already having access to this site (because they are already members of other groups or already have permissions). This “group” is different of “NT AUTHORITY\authenticated users » which represents successfully identified users (bigger group). The only thing is that “group” is in fact a user, so it’s helpless to iterate on every group of the site collection hoping to find it.

This year again I have the opportunity to speak at the SPS Toronto. I’ll give a speech about the graph “Making Graph data useful to your company”. We’ll talk about the Graph, delve, yammer, machine learning and a lot of other interesting concepts and the conversation will be aimed towards developers. If you’re in the area Saturday September the 19th 2015 don’t hesitate to register to the event. Just as a reminder SPS are free events organized by the community with lot of great sessions.

With office development tools for visual studio 2015 (and probably with august 2015 update for vs 2013 too, but I haven’t tried it), you may run into the following error: unable to find version ‘3.1.2’ of package ‘appforsharepointonlinewebtoolkit’ And so while doing an “update-package” in nuget console or if you have a restore packages step in your build process. (mandatory if like me you don’t include the packages folder into source control).

Hi everybody! Short post to let you know that Microsoft recently announced a new event: the AzureCon. First edition on Sept the 29th. This free online event will focus on Microsoft’s cloud technologies (mostly Azure) and will be about news and things to come on the platform. Great speakers, awesome content, this is the occasion for you to learn a lot about Azure technologies and their usage. This conference should happen multiple times a year (approximately 4), main reason being: ”with releases and updates every 3 weeks for each service, we simply couldn’t wait for an annual event to announce everything like we do with Ignite and Build” (Microsoft Azure Product Manager)

It has been several months I’ve been “playing” with multiple semantic analysis services. I especially discovered www.alchemyapi.com in April. One interested thing about them being that IBM recently acquired them. Semantic analysis What is semantic analysis? It’s analyzing text data (or sometimes pictures too) and trying to understand the meaning of the content in order to extract metadata from it. It’s a little lit if I were to give you a document and ask you to read it and say “what concepts is it about?

I’ve been greatly honored being selected to be speaker at collab 365. This event directly comes from the sp24 with the spbiz which happened a few months from now. It’s a free online event which will take place on October the 8th during 24 hours all around the globe. Adding to the fact I’ll be speaking at this event among other great speakers, I also have the great privilege to give 4 sessions (oh yeah!

Introduction to the new build system Microsoft recently made a new build definitions model with the release of Visual Studio 2015 (TFS 2015’s bits are not yet available but this new build service is already available on Visual Studio Online). Just as a reminder the “old” build models were based on two artifacts: The build process template: defined via XAML, it allows you to configure the sequence for the build process.

This article is targeting SharePoint full trust developers who have (will) developed a custom service (SPService) for SharePoint. Indeed, if you are building a product for SharePoint like we’re doing at Negotium (www.oceanik.com www.theattributesolution.com ) you probably built a custom service application within your solution. If that’s the case your custom service application probably relies on a dedicated custom SharePoint service to run its code (it can be a service within IIS or a windows service).

Hi everybody, At Negotium we’re building multiple SharePoint products (www.oceanik.com www.theattributesolution.com …) We’ve recently had a complex issue. Let’s say these two products have a common dependency (newtonsoft.json in our case). Now let’s say both products are installed on a single farm and that for some reason you have to uninstall one of them. When SharePoint will retract the wsp, it will retract all dll’s that were included within it. Including the common dependency the other product still needs.
