The best feature of Windows 7

I know this isn’t specifically educational, but I just feel the need to share. Having been using Windows 7 for a few weeks, the one feature that just knocks my socks off (and seems so obvious in hindsight) is the way that I can easily split my screen to show two different programmes at the same time. Basically, you grab the title bar of the window – like this: And then move it over to the left hand or right hand side of the screen.

Intro to Data View Web Part by Laura Rogers

Laura Rogers has posted some great screencasts to introduce you to the Data View Web Part , showing how easy it is use SharePoint Designer to consume data from a data source and provide a UI to insert, update, and delete items… all with no code.  Check out the bottom section of her article that points to more articles in this series.  I’ve got to admit, I am a developer who approaches SharePoint by looking for the things that I can extend using Visual Studio.  What I have found is that many of the things that I want to build I could instead create using tools like Access, Excel, SharePoint Designer, and InfoPath.  The lesson here is to spend the time researching what SharePoint provides out of the box (it’s quite a large surface area) to see if that is already implemented for you. A great example of this is building custom web parts.  I can’t tell you how many times I have created a web part with an SPGridView in it that does exactly what Laura shows in her screencast.  Using the out of box functionality not only empowers end users, but also greatly reduces the amount of code that you need to maintain.

Windows 7 and Windows XP Mode – Cool!

I really love Windows 7 in all its 64-bit goodness.  I get all my memory.  It’s fast, it’s convenient.  But there’s one thing that I don’t like – my poor broadband modem isn’t yet supported.  I need my broadband modem, because several of my clients just won’t let me jack-in to their network.  So the first time I dug into “Windows XP Mode” I came up a bit disappointed.  What? It’s just Virtual-PC?  Well, yes and no.  It’s a newer, better version of Windows XP that I didn’t have to build myself.  And… wait for it… I get to use my USB broadband modem in the the virtual machine
