Woo-Hoo! I have my tickets to The Rolling Stones concert Sept 3 in Moncton NB. (Magnetic Hill).
This isn’t exactly SharePoint related but I’m quite happy about it so hey! 
For you Stones fans here’s a little treat!
In other news … I’ll continue the SharePoint tutorial over the weekend, there’s also a little treat I’ll stick up for download as well.

“What is NeoSwiff?
NeoSwiff allows developers to write Flash™ applications in C#.
It includes:
a C# to SWF compiler supporting most of the C# language (ECMA-334 specification), a Visual Studio .NET 2003 add-in supporting Intellisense and integrated help, a .NET compatible SDK. ”
And it also includes an optimizing compiler.
“Optimizing Compiler
· Analyzes the produced SWF code, optimizes it and removes unnecessary instructions.
· Remove unused functions from the final SWF file.
· Inline small functions to avoid the cost of a function call.
· Remove functions and variables names from final SWF, which becomes naturally obfuscated and not readable by decompilers.
· Inline assembler instructions can be included to write high performance or small algorithms.”

Not to break the flow from our tutorials but this really just seemed worth posting.
All I can really say is WOW. It’s a must see.

Note, the entire tutorial from start to finish will be available as a single zip file when it is complete, it will include all source html, css, PSD/Images etc.
This next section of the tutorial is going to cover both the planning and sketching, I feel the two are closely linked.
We’ve already gone over most things and have jot-notes from our brainstorming session, so now we’re going to start taking a more visual approach to planning our layout and key elements.

In this section of the tutorial we will take a look at one of the most crucial yet one of the most often skipped steps in site creation, “Brain Storming”.
Brain Storming – The idea of sitting down and really “thinking” about what you are doing, who you are doing it for, what works and what doesn’t for the demographic you are developing for is in my opinion the most important step in site creation and one that should be explored in great detail.
The main thing to keep in mind for this entire section of the tutorial is that this is mostly “thinking”. This section was designed to give you a frame of mind for taking notes, and thinking about what you are creating more than actually “creating the site”.

Why SharePoint?
There are several reasons why you may want to try your hand at SharePoint technologies, I will explain my own reasoning, I do however think that after reading this you may agree.

First and foremost – Everything mentioned herein you may not agree with, you may not even think it’s right. These methods are my own and are based on real-world experiences that I have had in creating SharePoint sites over the last 6 months or so. As with most things there are often several ways of doing things, this one is mine…
All “SharePoint” customization will be using FrontPage 2003.
This entry will likely span into a 4-5 part tutorial on creating a SharePoint site that looks like a “real” website.
I’ll try and take things step-by-step in creating a “real website” and then converting it into a SharePoint site. I will keep it as simple as possibe so that it’s relatively easy to follow.
For anyone that just wants to follow along and get their feet wet I will include everything I’ve used for the site creation, HTML/Graphics/CSS etc.
This will be a fairly long post(s) but hopefully if there are a few people out there experiencing the SharePoint (Learning Pains) this should help you.
I’m going to be fairly in-depth about the entire process of the site creation, covering everything from; brainstorming, what make’s sense/what doesn’t, sketching, creating the graphics, creating the site, styling the site and finally converting everything to a fully content-managed and dynamically driven SharePoint Site.
On that note let’s jump right in …
