Taking SharePoint Offline – SharePoint Best Practices Conference

I’m delighted to be speaking at the SharePoint Best Practices Conference in April 11th – 13th in London, it will be my first “big” conference speaking engagement, so really looking forward to it.

My abstract says it all other than the notable exception of SharePoint Workspace which obviously counts as an “Offline option” in case you are interested in that:

Many clients need the facility to work offline on occasion, especially those with a mobile sales team, or those being upgraded to SharePoint from a Lotus Notes environment used to offline replication. The content that sales people need access to can be rich and bandwidth-intensive, which makes a good 3G signal or poor Wi-Fi connection frustrating for the salesperson to use, not to mention the client. This session will cover the pros and cons of the options available for offline SharePoint, and why/how to build a Silverlight 4 out-of-browser application driven by SharePoint 2010, solving connectivity issues and taking advantage of SPMetal, LINQ, WCF, Isolated Storage and Silverlight.

Hope to see you there!
