Leveraging the Object Cache, but there are considerations from a development perspective
Abstract from SharePoint Blogs (Indexed 2008-10-10):
One of the most simplest and effective ways to speed up your portal page loads is to leverage the Object Cache for MOSS, which comes as part of the product Out of the box. This settings can be modified in the SharePoint site : Site Actions > Modify All Site Settings > Object Cache Settings.So what does this give you? We all know that MOSS practically stores everything in its SQL database, so this could prove to be expensive from a networking perspective and can put heavy load on the SQL server, ...(truncated)...

POP3 on Windows Server 2008 MOSS Dev Env
Abstract from edhild's Weblog (Indexed 2008-10-10):
Just a quick note... If you are a MOSS dev setting up a new development environment on Windows Server 2008, you might have noticed that there is no POP3 service anymore. This makes it a bit difficult to shows workflow with email notifications, etc if you don't have the ability to have a user mailbox. And of course, you don't want the full blown Exchange app there because of the bloat on the VM and performance. Try out this free one:http://www.download.com/ArGoSoft-Mail-Server-Freeware/30...(trun...(truncated)...

Enabling .NET 3.5 in SharePoint 2007 Sites, the Lazy Way
Abstract from Jan Tielens' Bloggings (Indexed 2008-10-10):
You probably know that if you want to make use of the fancy new .NET stuff, like ASP.NET AJAX in SharePoint 2007 sites, you have to make a bunch of modifications in the web.config of that site. You can do that the manual way, for example Mike Ammerlaan has described how you can enable ASP.NET AJAX 1.0 in SharePoint sites already a long time ago. Recently .NET 3.5 (including a new version of ASP.NET AJAX) became available, including the steps that you needed to go through to be able to enable it ...(truncated)...
Adding Breadcrumb Navigation to Application Pages in SharePoint Central Administration
Abstract from Jan Tielens' Bloggings (Indexed 2008-10-10):
It is great to find out people like the articles you write on your blog, and it's even more fun when people actually contribute to your blog as well. That's how I received an update to a blog post I wrote some time ago, about adding breadcrumb navigation to Application Pages. Bart Snyckers explained that the mechanism described in my post worked a little bit different if you want to add Application Pages to the Central Administration site. Bart doesn't have a development blog yet (but he told me...(truncated)...
Meet Me in Los Angeles, PDC2008
Abstract from Jan Tielens' Bloggings (Indexed 2008-10-10):
[Image]According to the countdown timer at the PDC2008 site, the opening keynote is only 17 days away (at the time of writing). The previous PDC in 2005 was all about Office 2007 (including SharePoint) and Vista, but this time there didn't seem to be a lot of Office/SharePoint content scheduled. Not that this is a bad thing; after 3 years of SharePoint teaching, coding and evangelizing, getting to know new technologies can be great. :-) I'm really looking forward to learn more about Live, Live M...(truncated)...

TeamEli's first CodePlex Project -- GUI to Add Solutions to SharePoint Solution Store
Abstract from SharePoint Blogs (Indexed 2008-10-09):
Well, I finally took the time to sit down and put together a CodePlex project for some of the application pages (ok...only one so far...) that I am building for SharePoint admins. So far, I have an application page that allows SharePoint admins to upload SharePoint solutions into the solution store. This gets rid of the need to have to log into the server to run that one pesty stsadm command (addsolution). I am not sure if anybody will find this useful but I figured it would be a nice start f...(truncated)...
