Christchurch SharePoint User Group

Collaborating on collaboration

Welcome to the Christchurch SharePoint User Group site, or more affectionately, C-SPUG.

Our aim is to provide a friendly environment, events and tools for sharing knowledge on the implementation, development, and use of WSS and MOSS. Our interests range from the highly technical aspects of SharePoint, to the wider business considerations of implementing a SharePoint solution. Our members include those who are learning/adopting SharePoint for the first time, as well as those who have been using SharePoint or similar technologies for many years.

C-SPUG generally meets on the last Tuesday of each month. From time-to-time, there may also be special events, informal lunchtime chats and get-togethers, and events run in conjunction with other related groups. 

Please click here to join the C-SPUG mailing list.  We'd also like to know what topics you are interested in hearing about, so please drop us an e-mail.

General links and information about SharePoint can be found on the parent New Zealand SharePoint User Groups site.

This event was the inaugural meeting of the Christchurch SharePoint User Group (C-SPUG).  This was held as a joint meeting with the .NET User Group, intended to provide the wider .NET community with an overview of SharePoint development, and spark interest in both SharePoint and the user group.
 
Matt gave an overview of WSS and MOSS concepts, before leaping into a demonstration of WSS's out-of-the-box capabilities using the example of setting up a .NET user group community site.  He then delved into select development topics via demos, including: Object Model + CAML querying, Web Part creation using Visual Studio Extensions, Features and declarative extensibility, and Event Receivers.  Matt concluded with a summary of "Why SharePoint?" and provided various resources and calls to action.
