Hi, this is David Wier.  Welcome back to my SharePoint video diary for SetFocus. 

This last week was a good week.   I felt like I actually reached the good point.  We learned how to create ASP.NET pages and actually install them in the site with actual ASP.NET code.  I know for a lot of you ASP.NET developers out there, this may not sound like a lot, but a couple of years ago, I was working for a company and I became the administrator of our department’s site on that SharePoint internet.  We had a contractor who showed me the basic ropes of how to get around in SharePoint and post some of the out of the box stuff.   Well, I ended up needing something new that wasn’t quite out of the box from SharePoint and it was to post an ASP.NET page with code behind it.  Well, he was getting paid really good money as a contractor,  but he couldn’t tell me how to do it.  He didn’t know.  But at this point, now I know how to do it.  And I’m not even half way through the course.

There are other things we learn last week like creating basic web parts, having our own user controls in them.  Like I’ve said, all in all, this was a good week.

Well, I’ll see you next week, pretty much the same place, pretty much the same time with my next video diary entry.
