Anyone that knows me, knows my passion for community. This comes from the appreciation of so many people that have helped me over the years on their own time and free of charge because of their own passion for community. While I have seen this behavior in other IT “communities,” the SharePoint community is a special group that loves sharing knowledge with others. (It is right in the name!)
I was listening to a recording of the bi-weekly “Microsoft 365 Developer SIG community call,” which happens on the 4th Thursday of every month. (The Microsoft 365 Platform community calls are all worth checking out and each of them is recorded and then uploaded to Youtube within 24 hours of the live event. Find out more info here: aka.ms/m365pnp) Part of the call was a demo by MVP Chris Kent on custom formatting in lists and he was showing how to use emojis in the formatting. Again, his demos are “must see TV,” both for content and entertainment value.

While Microsoft is always working on expanding the capabilities of its Teams app, the rapid acceleration in the use of MS Teams during the global COVID-19 pandemic has also accelerated implementing some of the features on the backlog in an effort to compete with other group conferencing applications like WebEx and Zoom. Some of these capabilities include allowing the user to blur the background during video calls, as well as changing the background and increasing the number of video participants visible in the gallery.

NACS is officially a go for Sep 28-30, 2020. The event sill be the first hybrid conference! Click the image above for the latest information, including what session(s) I will be presenting!
If you haven’t heard, there is an awesome conference being held in Branson, MO, April 2-3, 2020. In addition to having many of the same speakers at the large Microsoft conferences, this is one of the most affordable conferences in the country, almost 10 times less than the major conferences. There are 70+ sessions over the two day conference and 7 additional full-day workshops. I hope to see you there!
As the development pendulum has swung back to the “front end,” I find a majority of my time in VS Code. Back in the early days of VS Code, I missed the rich toolset of Visual Studio, but as I became more comfortable with the combination of command line and graphical interfaces in VS Code, as well as the explosion of awesome extensions for VS Code, I found myself opening Visual Studio less and less. (Honestly, when I open Visual Studio these days, it’s because the icon is next to VS Code in my taskbar and I accidentally click the wrong one. As long as it’s open, I apply the latest updates and close it back down.)
I recently found myself in a situation on a client’s device where I needed to remove an application, but I was not a local administrator on the device. After evaluating options (like the slow WMI client), I turned to PowerShell. PowerShell provides a simple and fast way to search for and uninstall MSI-installed applications.
After exploring a few options, including the glacially slow WMI client, I decided to turn to my old friend PowerShell. And voilà! PowerShell provides a simple and fast way to search for and remove applications.
Ignite is moving to New Orleans! There’s no place quite like New Orleans and we’re planning an event that’s equally dynamic, with amazing opportunities for you to engage with experts, expand your skills, and explore the latest technology.
You can pre-register today to make sure you get the latest information as soon as it’s available.
I’ve already started looking forward to the parties … errr … I mean the awesome sessions, keynotes and sessions. Hope to see you there!
