I did as you suggested above. Got an error in building the AutomatedSetupBuild.proj as follows:

‘/Project’ is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

Comment on What is Microsoft SharePoint Server 2010? by Ido Talberg

I'd agree the best part about using SharePoint vs. developing a website from scratch is the availability of so much functionality straight out of the box. Apart from what Leonard has mentioned already, I'd add workflows as a good example of something complex that SP makes easy. Another thing worth noting is that SharePoint is extensible with third-party tools, e.g. Harmon.ie for SharePoint or Confluence).

Comment on New Software Engineering High School!! by Ido Talberg

I don’t think the universities are to blame for the shortage of good programmers. Despite their reluctant attempts to change the CS curricula, they’re still faculties of scientific education. What is really needed are more vocational schools that teach young people how to develop software.
Although starting at the high school age is also a good idea. I personally got into coding because of my high school and I’m glad I did.

Also, there’s better support for workflows. For example, you can do multiple approval workflows right in the designer.
Here’s a big article from MS on the subject:

Hi Leonard,

I really liked the short-but-sweet article on the conceptual data model – nicely done!

We presently pretty much do conceptual architecture models backed by detailed process models and logical data models at the entity and relationship level, but a LDM is simply overkill.

Your CDM looks something like I remember using in a different lifetime 20 years ago and very much more appropriate for the business analysis and stakeholder engagement activities that we are concentrating at the moment.

Is there a published standard for your CDM? I would also very much like a copy of your Visio template if you are agreeable.

Great blog by the way!
Kindest
Andrew
