Ty Anderson | January 25th, 2012
SharePoint is a 'document coffin', says IBM. In this lead new item, the author reports a bunch of words from IBM's VP of Social Software. With these words, this gentleman makes a ridiculous argument and successfully garners a few headlines about IBM's social and productivity software... Read the rest of this entry →

Office 365 – Save Outlook e-mails & attachments to SharePoint Online programmatically
Pieter van der Westhuizen | January 19th, 2012
If you're following Ty's Office 365 Newswires and read this article about Microsoft already having sold five million Office 365 seats in roughly two and a half months, I'm sure you would agree with me that Office 365 is set to change, if not revolutionize the way people use and interact with Microsoft Office.

Office Newswire: The Office Ribbon secret decoder ring – 1.18.2012
Ty Anderson | January 18th, 2012
I'm just thinking out loud here as I write today's Office Newswire. There are lots of rules I create to help me focus as I write. But one rule that is sacrosanct is that the Newswire is written in a steam-of-conscience manner. A surprising good week for Office news and opinions. I have, of course, offered my thoughts and opinions about the items below

Ty Anderson | January 13th, 2012
I didn't realize until just now that today is Friday the 13th. If this day and date alignment scares you... you suffer from friggatriskaidekaphobia. Please don't ask me how to pronounce it. You're on your own there. Including today, 2012 will have 3 occurrences of Friday the 13th... Read the rest of this entry →

Ty Anderson | January 11th, 2012

Office 365 Newswire: Cloud war declared! – 1.6.2012
Ty Anderson | January 6th, 2012
We've been publishing the newswire now for close to two months. I don't know about you but I'm enjoying myself. You have probably deduced by now that the newswire allows me to work out some of my thoughts and issues that bounce around in my head. I have followed the Office universe for almost 25 years. I love the platform and what provides in possibilities to businesses of all sizes... Read the rest of this entry →

Ty Anderson | January 5th, 2012
We write a lot about the solutions you can develop with Office and SharePoint using code. We do this honestly because we are, in our heart of hearts, developers. We write code, we read about code, we create tools that help you write code, etc... Read the rest of this entry →
Office Newswire: Last Minute Christmas Edition – 12.22.2011
Ty Anderson | December 22nd, 2011
As I write this newswire, I literally have my daughter in my office wrapping the gifts I bought for my wife. I admit to you that I do not know how to properly wrap a gift and I now resort to bribing (or rewarding) my daughter for taking care of this task for me... Read the rest of this entry →

This is a demo that shows how to use the Ribbon Designer to create your first custom SharePoint ribbon.

Office 365 Newswire: SharePoint Ribbon calls to me – 12.19.2011
Ty Anderson | December 19th, 2011
Microsoft is in the business of building software. In fact, Microsoft wants everyone to use at least a couple dozen Microsoft products each and every day. To make this happen, Microsoft has endeavored to win the hearts and minds of developers. Microsoft figures that if they have developers that love the Microsoft platform, then they will write apps for it... Read the rest of this entry →
Office Newswire: Office + iPad – 12.16.2011
Ty Anderson | December 16th, 2011
I have an old tablet PC. I downloaded Windows 8 Developer Preview and installed it on the tablet. I like it but it is quirky. I'm looking forward to the next iteration of Windows 8 (and the next iteration of Office!). In the meantime, I'm wondering just how far behind Microsoft will be in the tablet wars when they release Windows 8 and the next generation of Office... Read the rest of this entry →

Office 365 Newswire: Microsoft’s secret plan for Office 365 dominance – 12.14.2011
Ty Anderson | December 14th, 2011
A couple weeks ago (actually last week), I made a passing reference to MOJO. I was speaking then of Microsoft Office 365 numbers and that it points to maybe Microsoft is starting to recapture their MOJO. But what is MOJO? I suppose it depends. I’m about to pontificate so if you want to skip to the news you can but I’ll be offended if you do... Read the rest of this entry →
