AJAX-style SharePoint Web Parts
Todd Bleeker
This session will delve deep into the AJAX-style SharePoint Web Part development demonstrating several different approaches to achieving REST partial page updates. Discover what ASP.NET AJAX brings to the table over ASP.NET alone. Explore the client side of Web Parts and how they can be used to improve a user's overall Windows SharePoint Services experience. Leave with ideas that will make your Web Parts sing.
Scaling Out SharePoint and Load balancing the Web Servers using Microsoft Network Load balancing
Level 300
Steve Smith
From the Back to Basics series : Most companies start off with one SharePoint Server and an SQL box but what happens when more capacity is required due to higher concurrent connections or furthermore what if resilience is being demanded in order to protect data availability and 24/7 access to sites and files by the users and management.
This session will take you through a step by step process in adding additional servers into your SharePoint farm , configuring and reallocating server services such as Excel and Search and then configuring the Network Load balance service on the two web servers in order to support resilient web requests.
Due to limited numbers, you need to reserve your spot in your session of choice. E-mail sydney@sharepointusers.org.au with the word AJAX or Scalability in the subject line
