Topic: “SharePoint Social Networking”
Guest Speaker:
John Worrell, NewsGator
Presentation:
Enhancing SharePoint’s Social Networking Capabilities
Description:
Please join NewsGator’s Senior Sales Engineer John Worrell as he discusses and shows how NewsGator Social Sites extended Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 with social feedback (i.e. bookmarking, tagging, commenting), social networking, and community functionality by leveraging the SharePoint platform and social computing services provided by NewsGator Enterprise Server. SharePoint is a great foundation for social computing application development and can be easily extended through web parts and web services.
If your users are asking for FaceBook for the enterprise functionality, if there is interest in a MySite initiative this will be an excellent session to attend. John and NewsGator will discuss and show how to provide a unified user experience for information aggregation, discovery, consumption as well as social feedback and to enable cross-organization online communities that facilitate ad-hoc collaboration as well as knowledge capture and sharing.
John will discuss how NewsGator’s developers implemented a rich set of XML endpoints that extend the SharePoint runtime and make data available to AJAX enabled web parts. Also the implementation of a set of AJAX enabled web services and a JavaScript library to abstract these calls. Finally, how they implemented it all with lightweight web parts using the open source SharePoint AJAX Toolkit that use simple XSLT rendering along with a common NewsGator script library built with ASP.NET AJAX.
