For almost three years I have not used this space for sharing my thoughts on technology. I could not do this for various reasons. In a span of three years lot has happened in my professional life and I’ve switched planes and nowadays I’ve diversified myself by exploring into open source technologies as well. We live an interesting time where we see a tremendous explosion in new technologies especially Artificial Intelligence, Big Data, Machine Learning etc. I will be sharing my experiences on what i work and learn from a developer standpoint. Stay tuned !!!

I had a chance to read the book titled ‘SharePoint 2013 Planet of the Apps 2.0’ by Sahil Malik, SharePoint MVP and renowned technology expert. I bought the paperback edition of the book from FlipKart.com few weeks back. The whole idea of buying a book on SharePoint 2013 App model was to have a single reference (one stop shop) for me to ramp up myself on SharePoint 2013 App Model. I’d say that this book has not let me down after purchasing it. Though the book is thin, it’s a well written book by Sahil Malik. The writing style is more of a class-room trainer narration style, which I like very much and keeps reader awake without getting bored. It also helped me to read the book within a day. The technical information presented in this book is very accurate (as per the pre-release SP 2013 timeframe). Personally, I like the following topics in the book, because of the way it is narrated and explained.

• App Only Permission Policies
  
• On the fly Permissions
  
• Azure ACS and SharePoint Authentication Dance
  
• S2S and SharePoint Authentication Dance
  
• Cross Domain Security – Client Side Only
  

  
   

This article will cover the steps required to import the Project Plan created in MS Project 2010 to the Project Server (Project Web Access). This assumes that you’ve already established a connectivity to the Project Server through File –> Info –> Manage Accounts –> Add

Now let’s add an option in the Ribbon Control to enable upload the project plan to Project Server

File –> Options –> Customize Ribon

Under Main Tabs –> Project –> Create a a new group pressing ‘New Group’ button

On the left side –> Choose commands from –> Select ‘Import Project to Enterprise’

Now you’ll get to see an option called ‘Import Project to Enterprise’ under Projects in Ribbon.
