What follows is a list of workshops in September and October. I’ll be sending out the November and December schedule in the coming weeks. Clicking on the links will send you to the description of the workshop, and offer you the chance to register.

On Monday, August 24th, our Weekly Newsletter will be listing 23 live online workshops we will be delivering from September through December of this year. We’ve got some new presenters such as Christophe Humbert from Path to SharePoint, Jim Bob Howard from Stump the Panel, as well as Laura Rogers and Paul Grenier, “faces” well known around here if you’ve been reading for a while.

Aggregating data with a DVWP and a Linked Data Source can really save you lots of time and make your SharePoint lists do some great online reporting.

I had a user request to automatically fill in text to a required field based on the selection of a radio button on the page. The form that is being filled out is used by a hiring manager to document the decision process for a certain recruit. Since each position will only have one person hired, but typically more than one applying, the answer to the question: “Was this person hired?” will be “No” way more than it will be “Yes.” Therefore, a reason for the “No” is required.

I was working on a mileage reimbursement project that required a user to associate travel mileage with a specific date. To make things easy for the user, I wanted to use a Calendar list so they could easily choose a travel date. That would also give me built-in date validation and makes things easier all around.

In my previous articles on color-coded calendars, the colors have been calculated based on a Choice field. But what if you need more functionality to, say, require approval for certain calendar entries like Personal Vacation.

In this screencast, Jim Bob Howard continues his examination of different techniques for color coding a SharePoint calendar.
