Feature and Solution DevelopmentUse SHIFT+ENTER to open the menu (new window).
Features have greatly changed how you create and deploy SharePoint solutions. Common scenarios for feature deployment include Web Parts and workflows, but they offer much more power than that. Site templates can contain features that are automatically run when a user creates the site. Feature stapling allows multiple features to be chained together. Probably the most powerful scenario is the ability to create custom code that executes when the features are installed/uninstalled or activated/deactivated. Our ignagural meeting will detail the feature lifecycle and cover how to create and use your own features.

Changing the value of all the list items in a folder with specific metadata is an easy task for PowerShell. Learn how to make PowerShell your command line for SharePoint.

SharePoint Development Environment
Setting up a SharePoint development environment can be a difficult hurdle for new SharePoint developers.  We’ll cover some common development environment setups and tools, along with some uncommon ones.  There will be an open discussion to discuss what is or isn’t working in your own environment and share tips and tricks with other developers.
