David Frankland of B2b Technologies spoke at our MOSSmosis meeting here in Huntsville a couple of weeks ago. He did a great job. Here are some of the main points I managed to write down:
A recommended best practice is to send data in through the web service back to the database.
Linked data sources take columns from different data sources. These data sources often don’t work. They often generate a general fault protection error.
To get creative with web parts, learn as much as you can about XSLT. You are not limited to the default style coding; you can override the code in SharePoint Designer.
Always limit the number of records in web parts that search millions of records. Need I say more?
You can export web parts with data views.
