Today I got another 250 GB Western Digital hard drive that I bought on eBay. I have installed Windows Server 2003 on it in order to run Sharepoint. You cannot install Sharepoint on Windows XP. Sharepoint interests me because it uses web parts which are similar to the new web parts technology in ASP.NET 2.0. As soon as I get Service Pack 1 installed on my Windows Server 2003, I will install Visual Studio 2005 Professional and Microsoft Office Sharepoint Designer 2007. I don’t think there is a lot of custom web development being done for Sharepoint so that may be a good opportunity for me. I may develop a few web parts to sell and even create a marketplace for web parts. I have been unable to find anything like that on the Internet. I want to start using my web development skills to create my own business ventures because I’m not making enough money working on freelance projects.
Unfortunately, there were so many operating system updates to install that I spent the entire day on this task and did not get any work done on my client projects.
