I came across a blog post  today by Christophe Fiessinger, he outlines a performance comparison between running SharePoint VMs on a Seagate Momentus 7200.3 and a Samsung SSD SATA 3.0Gb/s (Solid State Drive). The warm up time for the web applications were between 2 and 10 times quicker, now that's a lot of wasted time cut out from a developer's day or waiting in a demo situation.

Then, I also spotted the following from Doug McCutcheon with a video clip on youtube and links to discounted Dell laptops for demoing. Looks good, hopefully they'll make the deals available in the UK too.

Good News!

Due to an increase in workload with our corporate client base our Sharepoint & Infopath team are looking to recruit a new ASP.net developer. 

You'll get to work on some exciting projects with some of the largest companies in the UK & if you're the sort of person who will thrive in a young, energetic growing company then send us your CV via the contact page on the menu to the left.

Naturally we would expect you to be technically competent in ASP.net (particularly C#), XML, XSLT, CSS and HTML.  Any Sharepoint and/or Infopath knowledge/experience would also be beneficial. 

This is open to any candidate looking for a full-time position based in our head office in Wolverhampton.  We are not looking to recruit for this position via an agency so please respect this and do not contact us if you are indeed an agency (this wastes our time & yours!)
