With the SharePoint Saturday carnival rolling into today, I actually decided to NOT put in a session – after having presented every year for the past 3-4 years.
However (LOL !) – a good friend of mine had been battling a cold/flu – and wanted to pull out – so I offered to step in, and do a presentation.
During the keynote, I frantically pieced together some slides & demos (ie. MECCANO) from previous presentations – but – still relevant and of interest to developers.
I covered the following :
- Client Object Model – with the .NET CLR, JavaScript, Silverlight – will be the NEW way to do development for SharePoint 2013 – so VERY important to learn.
- jQuery + XSLT + REST + jQuery Templates – some easy & quick tips to do animations – and manipulations of a SharePoint page…
Thanks for the guys who came along to watch my session – was a bit of a rush to present at short notice.
Here’s a link to the slides/demos – and the source code, etc – please let me know if you found the session useful…

Hi Chris,
I just tried out your XSLT for XLV, it works great.
I have a follow up question :
Q. Which is better, CQWP or XLV, given that we can provide custom XSLT for ItemStyle for both ?
Thanks

Thanks Sangeet – I usually go for XLV as a developer person – the CQWP is great for people who don’t know, or want to know, the details within – and can just “choose the style”. CQWP are also good for complex queries – eg. content types – or from another site. It would be great if the CQWP had an external XSL property – and could do the GOOD query bits – with a custom XSLT !
The other consideration is that 2013 also has a new webpart – Query-By-Search. (Content Search Web Part) http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj163789(v=office.15).aspx
Lots of choices – there’s no “correct” answer – another answer of “It Depends”.

Thanks Chris.
So I should be using XLV if I am querying just 1 list, otherwise use CQWP.
About external XSL property on CQWP, I use a custom CQWP written by Waldek Mastykarz:

It allows paging of CQWP, and also exposes and external XSL link.
Thanks again
Sangeet
