Chris O’Brienhas posted a very interesting article in his blog on optimizing a Sharepoint Site. One of the downs in Sharepoint sometimes has been performance.
For the developer sometimes is frustrating after building performant code to have a slow Sharepoint site, this can happen due to the amount of JS and CSS that are used out of the box by Sharepoint.
Is it possible to overcome this? Yes ti is . . . so a good start is Chris post.

A few months ago we had a workshop on MOSS from our ADC, and one of the topics he talked about was the performance in retrieving list items. This is so important for the performance of a website, so when I found the post from Waldek Mastykarz on the same subject I just had to highlight it.
Just a quick peek, the methods tested were:
Waldek then explains each approach and event illustrates graphically the differences . . .

Yes, it is true, in my Windows XP with IE8 I simply cannot work with the Explorer View in a document library, the message is : “Please wait while Explorer View is loaded. If Explorer View does not appear, your browser may not support it.“.
It seems this is a known issue and it only happens in certain environments.

Well, the answer is simple . . . you can try but it isn’t easy!!!
First of all, the Microsoft Certified Sharepoint Master consists of a 3 week intensive course with evaluations, that end with the big Certification. It costs $18,500 (well, you can have some discounts until the 1st January 2010).
There are already some Sharepoint Masters, you can find out more in the Master Blog.
But I saved the best for last, even if you cannot afoard the Course, you can prepare for it by using the SharePoint MCM Recommended Pre-Reading. It consists of a list of 81 topics with urls or book references that should enable you to be ready to attend the Master Certificate.
I won’t be a Master soon, but I will study like one

Well, as you all have noticed I haven’t been posting as often as I did, the reason was . . . work!
Yes, one of my latest projects have been massive, and therefore it is with great joy I announce the MEO Fibra website (portuguese only, sorry fellows) is on-line since this morning.

This is a Sharepoint 2007 website (with some Flash multimedia contents), related to my company’s product of Optical Cable.
Hope you like it!
