Hey, ..ready?

is now going to try to keep me to 140 chars. Should be interesting!

. Although most people here know you, please tell us a little about yourself and your experience with #SharePoint. #SPTechCon

. is now going to try to keep me to 140 chars. Should be interesting!

I'm one of those people who claim linkage to SP going back to Tahoe et al. You can real my bio here. http://sympmarc.com/about/ #sptechcon

To me, SharePoint is the platform we have been trying to build since at least the mid-90s for KM and collaboration. Bees knees. #SPTechCon

Because of that fabulousness, I've dedicated myself to working w/ #SharePoint for the last 5 years or so. #SPTechCon

Ok, so you’re teaching about the “Middle Tier” at #SPTechCon, what exactly is this concept about?

Best way to understand what I mean is to read my Manifesto. #SPTechCon Basically the working place b/w the UI and VS.

It's an alternative way to develop powerful solutions within SharePoint. Not always the answer, but often it is. #SPTechCon

Your unique governance model should dictate how it fits into your own development portfolio. Governance understanding is key. #SPTechCon

The Middle Tier tools are SharePoint Designer, DVWPs, XSL, jQuery/JavaScript, CSS, and SPD-based Workflows. #SPTechCon 

. We understand that you've had some pushback on this, why do you think that is? #SharePoint #SPTechCon

I think pushback comes for several reasons. 1st is that "middle tier" can mean other things. (So does "customization".) #SPTechCon

2nd reason for pushback is that it's not the "Microsoft way". It's non-traditional development to a .NET developer. #SPTechCon

3rd is specific reasons it may not make sense from a deployment perspective. Did I mention governance? #SPTechCon

The good thing is that these techniques have won many converts since I wrote the Manifesto. #SPTechCon They just plain work well.
