Speaking on FBA at the Roanoke Code Camp on March 1st

Yep that’s right, I am speaking at Roanoke Code Camp. (Special thanks to Michael Lotter) who suggested the idea to me when we were heading up to the Philly code camp about a month ago, and helped me learn everything about FBA that I know now. I will be speaking about FBA (Forms Based Authentication) and configuring it with MOSS 2007.

I have been tagging along with Michael Lotter for the last few months to Code Camps all over the east coast, and after a few times and seeing how rewarding of an experience it is to listen to all these great speakers share their knowledge, I decided why not do it. I have done a few MOSS 2007 installations and FBA configurations and I think I know enough to stand up there and talk about it for an hour or so 🙂

I will post my slides, notes, and code samples here after the code camp, I encourage everybody to take a look and try it out and let me know what you think.

Thanks guys,

My First Blog, Deep in the World of SharePoint and FBA

Hi guys, this is my first blog posting and I am really excited to start sharing my experience with SharePoint and related technologies.  We all know how relaxing working with SharePoint can be 🙂

I am pretty new to SharePoint, but after a few months of working with it I kinda know how stressful it can be.  When I tell this to my co-workers who have been working with SharePoint for years now, they always give me that look that says (you haven’t seen anything yet).  But I do find working with SharePoint as a very rewarding experience especially with the fact that while working with SharePoint you will learn a lot about many other technologies that are tied in with SharePoint such as ASP.NET.  I will try my best to blog about my projects that I work on and my experiences with working and solving common problems with SharePoint and the related technologies to help all the SharePoint newcomers, and many others as much as possible.

I have been working with FBA (Forms Based Authentication)with the help of my colleague Michael Lotter for the last couple of months, and implementing my own custom membership provider and trying to tie it together to be used within SharePoint rather than as an external application, which I think would look and feel a lot more professional especially for clients.  I will be blogging about FBA and the ASP.NET Provider Model a lot more as I work with i, and I do encourage anybody who has any questions or comments regarding my blog to email me nali@bandrsolutions.com or post a comment.

Thanks guys,
