The Thirsty Developer: Talking SharePoint with Kirk Evans

In this episode, we grab some time with Microsoft Architect Evangelist, Kirk Evans, to discuss the all important question, "When NOT to use SharePoint". The conversation leads to Kirk laying out some of the new enhancements in SharePoint 2010 as well as discussing the finer points of going from a pure ASP.NET developer to a SharePoint developer. Kirk also gives Dave and Clark a lesson on how one can ramp up quickly in SharePoint development with a list of great resources.

I apologize for the recording quality of this interview. We are still trying to work out the kinks with recording some of our interviews through Skype. Please bear with us.

Thanks!
