Up and ready for a great SPS-Indy. The building is a great location for a SharePoint Conference. My session is scheduled for 2pm so I’ll get to attend some other great sessions. Here are some pictures I have taken of the venue. Look for more later!

SharePoint Saturday – Ozarks
I just saw that they are having SharePoint Saturday – Ozarks again this summer. SPSOzarks was my first SharePoint Saturday experience and I really enjoyed it. The information I learned, and the relationships that I began that Saturday were the impetus for getting more involved in the SharePoint community. Since that Saturday in Harrison, Arkansas, I have attended Microsoft’s SharePoint Conference 2009 in Las Vegas, gotten more involved in our local SharePoint User Group and started presenting at other SharePoint Saturdays. I hope to work up another presentation for SPSOzarks so I can be a presenter this time instead of a spectator.

Easy Check If An SPWeb/SPList Exist
I write a lot of code using the SharePoint object model. Often times, I want to check to see if a particular Web exists in a Site Collection or a List exists in a Web. I used to write methods that enumerated through the collection to see if they existed or I wrapped a Try-Catch block around the code in case the object didn’t exist.
Recently I came across a code snippet that made checking for the existence of a web or list easy. I can’t remember where I found it so I’ll thank the nameless person who originally wrote the code. I’m only capturing it here for my own reference and possibly help someone else.
static bool ListExists(SPWeb web, string listName) { return web.Lists.Cast
().Any(list => string.Equals(list.Title, listName)); } static bool WebExists(SPSite site, string webName) { return site.AllWebs.Cast ().Any(web => string.Equals(web.Name, webName)); } -

I have been confirmed to present at SharePoint Saturday – Indianapolis on January 30, 2010 and SharePoint Saturday – New Orleans on Febuary 27, 2010. I’ve never been to Indianapolis or New Orleans, so I’m looking forward to it. I will presenting the same presentation I did at SharePoint Saturday – Kansas City – What I Wish I Knew Before I Implemented SharePoint. Watch out for flying mood dudes!
