[ the cutting edge ]
G'Day Developers!
A Favicon is a small image file included on nearly all
professional developed SharePoint sites. The Favicon reflects
the look and feel of the SharePoint site or the organizations
logo.
-
-
Figure: Good Example - Using the favicon gives your
SharePoint site a very professional look and feel.
Internet Explorer ("IE") 5.0 and above has a function that, if
someone bookmarks the page, it will look for favicon.ico from
the directory of the web page, if not found it will look for
it from the root directory of the SharePoint site. Otherwise
it will use the default Icon.
To implement the favicon:
-
Copy your company's .ico icon to the root of the site and
rename it to favicon.ico
-
Add the yellow code between the <HEAD> tags in your
MasterPage.master (or regular HTML/ASPX page)
Note: If you put the icon with the default file name of
favicon.ico in the root directory of your domain, you don't
need to add the following code. Because each time your Web
page is added to a user's favorites, Internet Explorer
automatically searches for this file from the root directory
and places the icon next to all the favorites and quick links
originating from your site.

Something About Mary (SharePoint and Office 2010) by
Adam Cogan
Come see Adam Cogan explain what works well with SharePoint
and Office for Mary and the other knowledge workers.
First you will get an overview of what is great about having
SharePoint in your business.
Then see real world examples of:
- Using SharePoint 2010 and Office 2010 together
-
Where it fits with other important Microsoft products like
CRM 4 and TFS
-
Examples of how Word and Excel can be integrated into
business processes (separate from SharePoint), and then
followed by
-
Examples of how Word, Excel, PowerPoint can be combined with
SharePoint to improve visibility/searchability/versioning
across the company
-
Overview of how data can be synchronized between the two (eg
using Access and Excel)
- Overview of what 'workflow' (really!) means
-
How Office can be incorporated into company workflows with
SharePoint
-
Extending SharePoint with Office SharePoint Designer 2010
(free!)
-
Where VBA and VSTO fit in terms of how solutions can be
developed
-
Examples of other interesting Office/SharePoint integrations
(eg the the Atlassian SharePoint Connector and Atlassian
Office Connector)
The session will be informal so there's plenty of
opportunities for asking questions. This is a good chance for
you to consider new ways of using Office in your company,
along with pitfalls to avoid. Adam gets excited about this
session because too often companies limit Office to just an
email application, word processor and spreadsheet - completely
missing the positive impact it can have on the entire business
process.
