SharePoint SQL Lists

Having worked with SharePoint Lists for a while, we realized that they are not suited for enterprise applications - but for ad-hoc data capture and sharing.

Entity-Relation diagrams and other data modelling techniques can be leveraged in standard SQL, but can be exposed as Lists in SharePoint with automatic forms where needed. Various web parts are available for creating data, as well as maintaining relations between entities.

If you're interesting learning please Skype me.

Asynchronous Javascript And XML - and SharePoint

Asynchronous Javascript And XML (AJAX) technology is not really a new technology - I still remember when Marc Andreessen introduced a similar concept at Netscape's developer conference in New York in the fall of 1996. The main difference was the fact that his concept at that time was based on CORBA - but the idea was the same. Luckily we now have an object oriented language, JavaScript, a widespead communications protocol, http, and a universal language for specifying data, XML.

At Exformatics, we now combine AJAX technology with SharePoint - in order to provide better end-user interfaces and faster response times. Check it out.

Standard based javascript libraries like jQuery might be interesting to investigate.
