About Andrew:
Andrew Connell has a background in content management solutions and Web development that spans back to his time as a student at the University of Florida in the late 1990’s managing class sites. He has consistently focused on the challenges facing business today to maintain a current and dynamic online presence without having to rely constantly on Web developers or have a proficiency in Web technologies.
In 2005 and 2006 he was awarded Microsoft Most Valuable Professional (MVP) for Microsoft Content Management Server for his contributions to the MCMS community. When the functionality of MCMS was merged into the SharePoint platform, he became a MOSS MVP (2007 and 2008). Andrew has contributed to numerous MCMS and SharePoint books over the years. In June 2008 he published the only book on the subject of developing Publishing sites using MOSS 2007: Professional SharePoint 2007 Web Content Management Development by WROX.
Andrew has spoken on the subject of MOSS 2007 development and WCM at various events and national conferences such as TechEd North America & EMEA, SharePoint Connections, VSLive, Office Developer Conference and Microsoft SharePoint Conference in Sydney, Australia.
Currently Andrew is a Sr. SharePoint instructor with the Ted Pattision Group teaching SharePoint development topics including a class he wrote on developing Publishing sites with MOSS 2007.
