SharePoint Career– V.Next

SharePoint .next is coming …

More to come

SharePoint 2016

Looking forward to a technical career with SharePoint? 

SharePoint technical careers fall typically along two major careers paths of an administration or development, but many do both roles. SharePoint administrators typically start out as a site, site collection administrator or server administrator and grow into a SharePoint farm administrator role.  Developers typically start either as a ASP.NET developer or SharePoint designer and then grow into a SharePoint developer role.  SharePoint architects and BI experts are worth noting since they have mastered SharePoint administrator, BI and developer skills.

Here are a list of career paths and the corresponding training paths.

QUICK NOTE: Although you can control Developer Dashboard with PowerShell to get more control an easy fast solution is to just use site?developerdashboard=true in your URL after your turn the developer dashboard on.

More on permissions
http://blogs.technet.com/b/speschka/archive/2009/10/28/using-the-developer-dashboard-in-sharepoint-2010.aspx

The on demand setting is really the optimal setting in my opinion.  Here’s what it gives you:  once it is set to on demand, site collection admins can turn it on or off.  When they do, it only turns it on or off for that particular site collection.  Equally as good, only the person that turned it on sees the output – your everyday users will not see the output from developer dashboard so this becomes a really valuable troubleshooting tool.  Even more interesting is that if you have multiple site collection admins and one of them toggles it on, the output is displayed only for that person, not for every site collection admin.   Want more flexibility?  Well you can even change the permissions that are required to see the dashboard output.  The DeveloperDashboardSettings has a property called RequiredPermissions.  You can assign a collection of base permissions (like EditLists, CreateGroups, ManageAlerts, or whatever you want) to it; only those people that have those permissions will be able to see the output.  So you have a great deal of flexibility and granularity in deciding when to use it the dashboard output and who will see it.
