Thanks for the information in this article. I admit that I am a copy/paste person. I need rapid solutions and have little time to spend on learning to write the code, but I am slowly learning the hard way.

Awesome article, after going through the information content in this article I cannot stop myself from reading the remaining 5 articles today. I am a new to this technology (but have worked in other technologies for sometime now), and this article series is what I needed to get a good grasp on Sharepoint.
Cheers,

BTW : I could find only articles 1,2,3 and 5 on google. Could not find link to remaining articles on any one page.

Thank you for taking your time to write such a good article. I am looking forward to buying your up coming book “Building the SharePoint User Experience”. Are you going to publish anything related to the “naming convention” for Features and Site templates under the “12 hive”? I find it anoying to have this flat directory where developers deploy their features and site templates with approximative naming convention. Also all those scary “unique integer id” assigned to List Template and other customized item that should be greater than 10000. How do you keep track of such “unique id” in a big organization with different developer teams? What happens if someone use an ID that have been used by another developer? I am looking for discussions about these topics, if you have written something alike or come across such articles, please give me pointers.
Thanks again for your great work.

Hello,

I am very glad you enjoyed it. I wanted to make it deeper and cover more ground, but for the sake of the time you will have to spend reading I found it better to shorten it a bit, and rather focus on getting an overview here.

The next articles in the series will go into far more detail on each of the topics covered here, so if you are particularly interested in one area you should have a field day

This article is also spanning two full chapters in The Book so you can imagine the depth that I will be able to explore there.

Thanks a lot, feedback such as this makes it all worthwhile

For finding time, well, Arno was kind enough to let me write this stuff so the least I could do to thank him is to find time to do a good job.

This is a truly terrific article. In reading it, I have a full appreciation of what it took to write this and all I can say I'm sure glad I stuck to infopath leave forms How on earth did you find the time???

( Humour/jokes are good in my opinion. It helps to break up otherwise dry topics and funny analogies can actually enhance the learning experience. )

Hello,

Thanks, how nice of you to say that, I am glad you liked it. I was afraid that it would be too deep for online reading, or that the attempts at humor would distract from the reading experience.

Look forward to the next article as well, and of course, The Book.
