A happy new year my friends. It is glad to be free after quite a long time. For a while, I have been quite busy with a client here in Lagos Nigeria. We have been working around a project here that has a lot to do with Microsoft Office SharePoint Server deployment and I think that I have lots of stories to tell and a handful of experiences to share.
Some of the things we worked on include:
• Clustering of SQL Databases for MOSS 2007.
• Network Load Balancing of MOSS 2007 Web Front End Servers.
• Deployment of SharePoint Language Packs.
• Branding and Master page customisation.
• SLK Deployment.
• Advanced Search Customisation – PDF indexing.
In fact, there were lots of issues and challenges around all these and I hope to share all these with all of you. However, the basic ones are these:
• Learn to admit your incapability. If you don’t you die with them.
• There is power in community. Always find a way to share your problems.
• Always learn to work in teams. We win when we work together.
• Also, never look down on anyone. Solutions may come from a source we least expect.
• God is ever willing to help you. Why not call him.
As I said, I had always known all these but from time to time on the site of this client, I had course to relearn all of these from the scratch.
TechNet is one powerful forum I will recommend for anyone who is ready to develop and work on Microsoft products.
I will still find out time to write extensively on the details of all the different things we did above and more importantly, the issues we faced and how we eventually surmounted them.
However, I wish to say a happy new year to all of you and just keep being good.
