One-on-one online sessions

These sessions are for you if you plan to use one of my scripts and:

- the script is not working for you and you can't figure out why.
- you have specific needs that require to slightly adapt the script.
 
Each session includes a conference call (30 minutes or one hour), a SharePoint sandbox, and follow up e-mails.
 
To register via PayPal, use the form in the right pane. I'll get back to you to schedule the date and time of the session at your convenience. Feel free to contact me for additional information.
 
If you have other needs - like information architecture, users coaching or SharePoint customization - you're welcome to contact me directly.

No Easy Tabs v6 in 2012

Bridging the gap between the users and IT
Happy New Year 2012! I discovered SharePoint 8 years ago, and I was immediately fascinated by the opportunities it offered. Being a functional consultant, I have always been on the user side, in “hosted” environments, where traditionally you have limited options to tweak applications. SharePoint was a game changer. The CEWP (Content Editor Web Part) and the DVWP [...]

Back to Blogging
 I’m back! First, I’d like to apologize for the lack of recent updates. Moving three times in less than six months takes its toll. But now I have settled down in San Diego and I have no intention to move anymore! My first action item was to post a hundred replies to the readers’ comments. [...]

Office 365: some frustration with public websites
In the past few months, like many SharePoint consultants, I have spent some time playing with Office 365, Microsoft’s own SharePoint hosting offer. Having read on many blogs how great Office 365 is, once again I’ll go against the grain to express some frustration I had with public websites (plan E3). On the paper, the SharePoint architecture [...]

Easy Tabs and accessibility
Adaptive Web Design is my topic of the day, with my RSS reader bringing me two articles on this theme: Responsive Layouts Using CSS Media Queries, by Kyle Schaeffer, and Now You See Me by Aaron Gustafson. I am sure the Easy Tabs have a role to play in responsive layout, but today I’ll focus on the second [...]

Two new projects: SPrest and SPELL
I have developed a sudden interest for Codeplex, Microsoft’s open source project hosting web site. It started last week with a post on Marc Anderson’ blog, about JSON, REST, and his infamous SPServices. In a follow up conversation, Marc pointed me to the related discussion on Codeplex. In less than 48 hours, I registered to Codeplex, [...]

Client side scripts: packaged Web Part vs. Content Editor Web Part

 About this site

They said it couldn't be done...
 
Did you know that SharePoint allows you to add color coding and charts to your lists, modify the look of your calendar views, display lists in another site, etc.? All of this without SharePoint Designer or server side customizations.
 
Feel free to explore this site to see the live demos, then head out to my Path To SharePoint blog to read the tutorials.

Note: a few demos are still on my old site, awaiting to be transferred here.

I started working with SharePoint in 2004. In my path to SharePoint enlightenment, I came across blogs like Tariq Ayad's Tangible Thoughts and Todd Bleeker’s 60 Hive. These were eye openers and helped me understand that there was much more to SharePoint than initially met the eye.

Today it is my turn to share my tips and tricks, and contribute to the great SharePoint online community.

 About this site

 
I am a consultant in Organization and Information Systems. In the past 10 years, I have helped companies reengineer their business processes and implement systems such as ERPs and Business Intelligence.

I have been involved in SharePoint deployments since 2004. My areas of interest include collaboration, collaborative Project Management, information architecture, mashups and dashboards.
 
I also have a passion for teaching. Besides training/coaching users, I occasionally give lectures on Management Information Systems in MBA programs.
 
In a previous life (before the Internet), I was an engineer and project manager, working on aerospace and nuclear programs.
 
I am a French citizen and US green card holder.
