Working with Video Content in SharePoint 2013

I wrote this article back in 2012, for SD Times, and thought I’d go ahead and post it here also.  This also applies to Office 365, and Office 365 has a video portal feature as well. In the SharePoint 2013 Preview and in the Office 365 Preview, there are some great hidden gems when it comes to working with video

SharePoint Conditional Formatting

In SharePoint 2013 and Office 365, there is no more design view in SharePoint Designer, and of course InfoPath is slowly being depreciated between now and 2023.  Without these tools, how do we go about creating business solutions easily like we have been doing for years?  I’m not a programmer, and I know that most of my audience here… you’re

Task Rollup Calendar

This blog post applies to SharePoint 2010, 2013, and Office 365.  This is enterprise, standard or foundation. This is a cool little trick that Corey Emmons figured out.  Since he doesn’t have a blog, I figured I’d at least document it so that you all can see how smart he is.  The idea is that a task rollup is needed
