Although there was Christmas and New Year's Eve there was a lot of interesting content published in December. As always I will provide links to the in my opinion most interesting SharePoint 2010 and SharePoint 2007 resources in December 2009… with every link comes a short description of the content available. This month is about SharePoint 2007 administration, WCMS and some SharePoint 2010 resources.

SharePoint 2007 Administration and development

• WSS and MOSS December 2009 CU
  The SharePoint 2007 December cumulative update was released.

• MSDN: SharePoint Administrator's and Developer's Guide to Code Access Security 
  This is on of 2 articles which were written by Andrew Connell and published on MSDN in December.

SharePoint 2007 WCMS

• Content Deployment – The complete Guide – Part 7 – Change Token Basics
  Content Deployment – The complete Guide – Part 8 – Job and Change Token 
  Stefan Gossner has continued his great articles about SharePoint 2007 content deployment.

• MSDN: Designing and Developing High-Performance SharePoint Server 2007 Publishing Sites 
  This is the second article Andrew Connell released on MSDN… this one is about WCMS development and my favorite of the 2 although the Code Access Security (CAS) article is great.

SharePoint 2010 Development

• Using the SharePoint Foundation 2010 Managed Client Object Model
  Here is a great article describing in detail the SharePoint 2010 client object model. A must read for SharePoint 2010 developers.

Virtualization (Hyper-V)

• The different ways to compact a disk
  Core Configurator 2.0 now available!
  Why Hyper-V cannot boot off of SCSI disks (and why you should not care) 
  I almost missed the Core Configurator… I need to test that in my next SharePoint Server 2010 deployment with fresh Windows Server 2008 R2 installations.
