We’re excited to announce a new sister site for www.sharepointpodshow.com.
SharePointOverflow.com is a Q&A site for all your SharePoint questions. Whether you are a developer with a code problem, an admin trying to deploy a hotfix, or an end user trying to improve adoption within your organization – ask the question over on SharePointOverflow.
As a user who posts a question or answer, fellow users can vote up a question or answer giving you points against your profile. As you get more points you get to earn badges which are great things to show off to your SharePoint friends! J We’ll also look to give swag away to people who have the most points per month or make a post that get’s a huge number of votes.
How does this all relate to the show? Each week we’ll pick a couple of questions that we find interesting and discuss them during the podcast. This will be a great way to drive conversations the way the community wants and to put relevant questions to the people we are interviewing.
So what are you waiting for? Get over to www.SharePointOverflow.com and get involved!

We all dream of the ever popular “easy button,” with just a press SharePoint is performing like a well oiled machine. Unfortunately, there is no single button but there are many proverbial knobs and levers we can adjust. Identifying what is causing a performance issue can be a daunting task.
In this episode, Rob, Nick, and Brett catch up with ASP.NET MVP Dennis Bottjer who provides a wide range of easy-to-implement tips that will prevent common bottlenecks. From a development perspective we look at how to identify memory leaks in custom code and how to improve page rending times. Performance is designed and knowing our options we can greatly improve the performance of our SharePoint Farm!
