December 3, 2012 - 1:00pm to 2:30pm EST
Presented by Dustin Miller with Host Mark Miller

What will you get out of this session?

• Crash course in rational, maintainable XSL for custom views
• How to create custom views using only your browser
• Ready-to-use and fully-commented custom views for:
• List-based navigation (a lightweight "Mega Menu" based on list content)
• FAQ-style content
• Image / Content rotator or "slider"

This is the first workshop in the three part series 'Mega Menus and More'. You do not have to take the other workshops in order to take this one... they are all stand-alone solutions.

Once you wield the power of creating custom views in SharePoint it is time to make them look great and match your corporate branding.
