  • Updated - My MDC Session

    Yesterday I delivered a session in the MDC07 (Microsoft Middle-East  Developers Conference) about "Developing custom workflows for Sharepoint"; through the session we developed a sample workflow and used InfoPath forms to collect the user input, I really enjoyed the session and thank you for all the attendees, I’ll post here later today the presentation and sample code also Microsoft will publish all the sessions videos on our community site ( www.Barmagy.com );  

    The event was great many wonderful sessions and regarding Sharepoint there were two sessions one for Kailash Kalyani (Application Integration Scenarios with SharePoint 2007 Technologies) and the other one is mine which is mentioned above,

    The closing ceremony was really fun, Microsoft Guys really exerted a lot of efforts to make good experience for all the attendees
