I will kick start my blogging with some interesting terminology I learned while attending Office Developer Conference 2006 in Redmond this week. I will be posting more about what I learned in later postings.

  • MOSS – Microsoft Office SharePoint Server
  • CWA AJAX Service – Allows developers to embed presence information in .net applications and web applications without having Office or Communicator on the desktop.
  • Dehydrating – Moving data from memory to disk
  • IRM – Information Rights Management
  • Digital Signature Developers Guideo12sign@microsoft.com
  • PSI – Project Server Interface. Replaces PDS for development against Project Server
  • Gumdrop – Also known as jelly bean. Used interchangeably at the conference to define the presence icon. Yes, we still can’t decide on a single term for the "pawn" replacement
  • SharePoint Designer – Replacement for Front Page
  • Bread Crumbs – Navigation that tells you where you are at in the site hierarchy
  • Security Trimming – Only shows the user buttons that they have security to see or use.
