Team-Based Development in Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007

A few months back a colleague of mine, Ivan Wilson, posted on  trying to work out the best approach to developing on MOSS 2007. It didn't really spark much debate but i've just come across an excellent MSDN article by Eric Charran that discusses team based development.

To resolve this i took the following steps;

1. Log onto the source server and goto Operations > Content Deployment Paths & Jobs.

2. Delete the path that holds my changed content job

3. Restart the Timer Service

4. Recreate the path and job.

Ok ok, so the gusto expressed in my introductory posts didn't really eventuate and the observant amongst us will note that a post hasn't been made since; over 6months ago! I'd  previously excused myself with the usual 'too busy', 'not enough time' blogging excuses but after chats with a couple of my Unique World stablemates, Gayan Peiris and Ishai Sagi, i realised i was approaching blogging from the wrong angle. The advice they departed was to 'blog for yourself'! So with that said im sorry to me for not blogging sooner!

So here goes... my SharePoint blog... take 2!
