Pushing my SharePoint Skills

I can't remember the last time I posted anything here. Well, I guess that could be 6 months ago, when I posted a topic regarding how to access SQL Instances using SQLDMO and .NET. That was the last time I visited this all-filipino online community of developers.

Just a little update about me, I'm still working here in Singapore and for less than a year, I resigned from my previous mobile company as their wasted .NET developer and got an opportunity with Citibank Singapore. It's a big decision I made. In this country where there are a lot of .NET developers, competition is very stiff. Companies are offering lower rates since the number of resources they can get with .NET skills compared to Mainframe skills is really enormous.

I have to continue a skill that I think a rare one - MS SharePoint. This has been my skill when I worked with Accenture Manila Delivery Centre and I think I have to concentrate on this area with total conviction. I'm still in the area of .NET Development, but on a more exciting one - web part development (see MSN.com for web part samples). Besides, the pay is pretty higher than ordinary ASP .NET and General .NET rates.

The next time I'll be posting a topic here, most likely it's about SharePoint Development. Kampai to everyone!

I thinks its smart decision, its better to specialize and be an authority on it. I, myseld would like to specialize too in a specific industry and technology but I dont know yet. Good luck bro!

I agree with Rodel. It's best to invest and specialize in hard to find skills and / or a certain industry.

Welcome back MisterClay! A friend of mine who is a Microsoft RD told me that an MS exec advised them to build a business around sharepoint because MS would be pushing that product in big waves soon and he doesnt want them(software vendors) to get left out when the big chunk of $s go pouring out from the sharepoint bussiness in 2007.

This is great, I've been doing some SharePoint lately so I'll be looking forward to some of the articles here.
