Code samples always come handy. While videos and tech articles are always great and go deeper to explore new technologies, few things can beat LOTS of free code samples. I am trying to catch-up with LINQ and lately I’ve been experimenting with the 101 LINQ Code Samples.

Wouldn’t it be great to provide a set of Office 2010 and SharePoint 2010 code samples?

Of course! For Office/SP developers or for developers willing to explore coding possibilities with Office 2010, here’s something you may find useful.

We just released a set of Office 2010 – 101 Code Samples in VBA. We’ve compiled a good collection of Excel 2010, Office 2010, OneNote 2010, Outlook 2010, PowerPoint 2010, Visio 2010, and Word 2010 most popular samples and we’ve published them both as a packaged download and also as multiple individual code sample gallery pages where you can easily download individual code samples, copy paste, rate, and share with your friends.

Each code sample consists of approximately 5 to 50 lines of code demonstrating a distinct feature or feature set in VBA. Each sample also includes comments describing the sample, and setup code so that you can run the code with expected results or the comments will explain how to set up the environment so that the sample code runs.

We are already working on a set of SharePoint 2010 101 Code Samples. This package will provide a set of code samples including CSOM, SharePoint Online, REST, Azure, Web services and other most popular SharePoint 2010 code samples. This time we are extending an invitation to the community to request code sample ideas. What is that SharePoint 2010 code sample you’ve always wanted?

If you have suggestions for SharePoint 2010 code samples, or more Office 2010 code samples, you can leave a comment on this post or comment @ the SharePoint Developer blog for SharePoint 2010 code samples.

Enjoy!

I had a baby last February and I enjoyed five wonderful months on maternity leave with my little one.

It’s great to be back @ work and I am super excited about the upcoming Office release.

This time I will have the great opportunity to get involved with Office ITPro content as well. My role changed a little bit and my team now owns release & publishing of technical content related to Office products & technologies on MSDN and TechNet.

My team works with multiple technical product content teams @ Microsoft and we release content for Office, SharePoint, Exchange, Lync, and Office 365 for developers and IT professionals. We also manage a few MSDN and TechNet Center sites for these technologies including:

MSDN Office Developer Center MSDN SharePoint Developer Center MSDN Exchange Developer Center MSDN Lync Developer Center MSDN Open Specifications (Learn tab only) MSDN VSTO Developer Center (legacy)

TechNet Office TechCenter TechNet SharePoint Products TechCenter TechNet Exchange Center TechNet Lync Developer Center TechNet Project Server TechNet Enterprise Search TechCenter TechNet SharePoint Server TechCenter (legacy) TechNet Windows SharePoint Services TechCenter (legacy) TechNet PerformancePoint Server TechCenter (legacy) TechNet Project Portfolio Server TechCenter(legacy) We also manage a few pages under: TechNet ForeFrontCenter TechNet Business Intelligence Scenarios

There’s little I can share about the upcoming Office release at this point, but I can tell you I believe this will be one of the most exciting releases I’ve been involved with. I am dying to start creating and releasing content including getting started, what’s new, code samples, roadmaps, how tos, videos, and many others.

Developers and IT pros will have broader opportunities and possibilities thanks to many of the cool features and changes introduced in the next release.

I will be blogging more actively moving forward and will continue to share news related to Office, SharePoint, Exchange, Lync technical content for developers and IT professionals as soon as we get close to Beta and RTM.

We just released a new SharePoint 2010 Enterprise Search Training that you can find at the MSDN SharePoint Developer Center!

The Microsoft SharePoint 2010 Enterprise Search training course provides a series of hands-on labs, presentations, and videos that demonstrate how to enable high-end enterprise search with Microsoft SharePoint Server 2010 for Search and Microsoft FAST Search Server 2010 for SharePoint. Learn about crawling and indexing content and defining the user experience. By completing these modules, you can build most of the Contoso Research Demo and gain a broad understanding of how to apply these design principles to your site.

This training set has 15 lessons with lots of videos, hands-on lab document downloads, quiz questions and links to other related resources.

A similar set is coming soon on TechNet

Enjoy!

Content Publishing Manager 2(720752 -External)

Job Category: Software Engineering: Content Publishing
Location: United States, WA, Redmond
Job ID: 720752 18116
Division: Microsoft Business Division

We are looking for an experienced content manager who will manage a team of experienced programmer writers and editors for a set of Office productivity applications, used by millions of developers: Excel, Access, Outlook, Word, InfoPath, and more!
We’ve just shipped Office 2010. Your first priority will be to lead your team in developing all the high value content your team will deliver through our MSDN online presence (https://msdn.microsoft.com/office). We need your ideas, experience, creative energy, and persistence to continue to improve our content and connect with customers.

You will manage your own content acquisition budget, as well as collaborate with our partners in marketing to author or acquire content to support the Office 2010 launch. Think code samples, videos, walk-throughs, and scenario-based developer content!
The candidate is expected to provide overall direction and team leadership, documentation expertise, creativity, and a drive for results. You will be developing, collaborating on, and managing cross-product and cross-team projects. Armed with metrics data from Office.com and MSDN, as well as other sources of data, you will be responsible for ensuring the content meets the business needs of our customers and the strategic goals of the product team and of Microsoft. You will also collaborate with all parties to define the overall content strategy for your continuous publishing efforts.

You will also be responsible for maintaining a high level of morale in the team and developing people. You and your team will be working in the context of a dynamic group with high morale and continual healthy challenges, along with countless opportunities to help customers in new ways.

Recommended qualifications and experience:
- Experience with COM and VBA -- understanding of the Office object models is strongly preferred
- Industry experience with managed code: Visual Studio has long provided a way to develop Office solutions from managed code. Ideal candidates would have experience with COM Interop.
- Your exposure to Visual Studio Tools for Office (VSTO) is a bonus.
- Awareness of OpenXML: our team also delivers the developer content for the OpenXML SDK v2, and we’re constantly evolving this content set. Let’s dig deeper to learn what adopters of this technology are experiencing.
- SharePoint understanding is required: all client applications have ties to SharePoint and we need to develop more and more content that leads developers to leverage those ties.
- Because our COM content requires quite a lot of engineering to build, familiarity with SQL Server and XML/XSLT is a definite asset.

I’ve been working on this team for five years and I can say it’s been an exciting ride to work on a group of talented writers and editors who provide developer content on MSDN for Office, SharePoint, and now UC and Exchange.

Getting Started with SharePoint 2010

Last October we released a Getting Started training series on MSDN SharePoint that includes a Silverlight application that displays 10 different SharePoint 2010 training modules with over 60 videos, more than 40 code snippets, 10 hands-on labs in both C# and VB, and fun quiz questions for each module. We’ve been monitoring traffic to this pages and we know this content set turned out to be quite popular, so we worked on a “v2” for launch.

What’s new in “V2” of Getting Started with SharePoint 2010

Everything! All content was updated to work with RTM bits.

All videos were re-recorded and republished, all HOLs were recreated, and there’s three more new additions to this set: Quick Notes: Frank Rice created a series of Quick Start like articles on MSDN. Each one of the Quick Notes maps to a training module. We have five now and we will add more in the next following weeks. Virtual labs: Currently, module 1, module 6, and module 8 have virtual labs that you can launch through a button. Silverlight app “v2”: This control has evolved and we included some new features to improve the experience. Some of this new features include dynamic video and thumbnail rendering via Bing Web services, list view of videos p/modules, now playing info, and many other visual improvements. Thank you to everyone who has sent feedback about this training control. We have been using it on different projects and we will continue to use it more on MSDN. We also added page rating and comments controls so you can send feedback and comment on modules and social media links so you can share the links to the training. We all owe this amazing training series to Paul Andrew who contributed to this massive amount of content for SharePoint developers.

Here are links to all modules:

SharePoint 2010 Advanced Developer Training

I mentioned in my previous blog entry that if you are looking for black-belt training on SharePoint 2010 development, this is it! This training set includes 1-4 lessons p/track. All content was created by Vesa Juvonen a Microsoft MCS Principal Consultant and by Todd Carter, a Microsoft Principal Premier Field Engineer. You can watch lessons on our pages or download them for watching them later. These are longer videos, about 1 hour or so each, so you can download the videos as well. You can also get all the PowerPoint downloads for each lesson and coming soon we will enable virtual labs too!

Lowband version

We realize some of you are not using Silverlight so we also created a lowband version with pointers to all lesson videos and PPTX downloads at the bottom of the pages.

Finally, I’d like to mention that we are currently experiencing a massive amount of traffic to this pages and I’ve noticed this error on random occasions:

If you happen to get it, you can refresh the page and you should be able to get all the videos.  Each module in a course uses a random MSN/Bing video server to spread the load and because of the high volume of traffic we are currently getting to this videos, you may get this error. You should be able to access all the content and videos after a refresh. If you have not enabled Silverlight or if you are unable to get the videos from the MSN/Bing server at any given time, you can still access all content from the lowband version at the bottom of the pages.

Since then, the Open XML Format SDK has evolved significantly proving us a .NET API, documentation, and tools to help us simplify our task of generating documents programmatically.

What is the Open XML SDK 2.0 for Microsoft Office?

The Open XML Format SDK 2.0  is a superset of the Open XML SDK 1.0. In addition to the functionality provided by the Open XML SDK 1.0, it leverages.NET Language-Integrated Query (LINQ) and provides classes to construct and query the contents of parts within a package. You can use functional construction for composing documents, and LINQ queries for extracting information from documents.

The SDK is a collection of classes that let developers create and manipulate Open XML documents – documents that adhere to the Office Open XML File Formats Standard. Because the SDK provides an application program interface that lets developers manipulate Open XML documents directly, they can do so without the need for the Office client products themselves in both client and server operating environments.

Open XML SDK 2.0 for Microsoft Office offers a number of tools and resources to improve programmatic document processing thus making a task of the developer more efficient. The SDK also carries an interoperability improvements for open XML implementers as well as it is  designed to let Open XML developers build high performance client-side or server-side solutions that handle complex operations using only a small amount of program code.

Microsoft has released an RTM version of Open XML SDK 2.0 for Microsoft Office today. If you haven’t already, you can download it and find the online documentation versions here:

	Download the Open XML SDK 2.0 for Microsoft Office This download provides strongly typed part and content classes for use with Open XML documents. https://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=c6e744e5-36e9-45f5-8d8c-331df206e0d0
	MSDN Online version of the Open XML SDK 2.0 for Microsoft Office This reference provides strongly typed part and content classes to manipulate Open XML documents. https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb448854(office.14).aspx

Distribution and requirement notes

Office applications are not required to use the Open XML SDK 2.0, and no software purchase is required. Developers can freely use the Open XML SDK to build document processing solutions for Microsoft Office files and for other implementations of the IS29500 standard.

Open XML content on MSDN

I want to use the remainder of this post to provide you all with a run down of most popular Open XML programmability content and detailed links to MSDN Developer Portal pages where you can find lots of articles, videos, and code snippets.

	First, the Open XML Developer Center on MSDN provides you with a mix of community content, articles, learning, getting started, and technical content categorized by scenarios and technologies. Here are detailed links to all our top level entry pages: Downloads Learn Open XML | Getting Started | Articles | How Do I Videos | SDK | Training | Webcasts and Videos Scenarios Technologies | OPC | Excel | PowerPoint | Word Community
	Second, take a look at our cool Open XML Developer Center on MSDN Silverlight rotator where you can find Open XML Essential resources including latest news about the Open XML SDK 2.0 for Microsoft Office and community resources.
	Next, I would like to suggest that you watch our recently published Deep Dive Open XML and the Open XML SDK SharePoint Conference session. Using Open XML 2.0 you can create and edit documents on the server without needing to resort to COM-based Office automation. This session presents a basic understanding of how to use Open XML 2.0 for creating documents, spreadsheets, and presentations. It also describes how to use the Open XML SDK and other various tools to make your development life easier. This session provides everything you need to start building document automation processes.
