My previous post shed some light on JSONP and how it works. In this post I will describe how to create a cool SharePoint 2010 WebPart that shows weather forecasts. The actual forecast data is retrieved from the Yahoo Weather Service using a JSONP call.

SharePoint offers OOTB navigation such as the Top Link Bar and the Quick Launch. Using jQuery and animations you can create a more appealing way of navigation for your SharePoint site. In this post I describe how to leverage the Links list using the Client Side Object Model in JavaScript to provide a fancy way of navigating your site.

About a month ago, Jan Tielens posted a nice solution on his blog for generating short URL’s for SharePoint 2010 documents. His solutions depends on a URL shortening services like http://bit.ly/urlwiki or http://tinyurl.com/urlwiki.
As Jeroen Ritmeijer points out in his comment on the same page, this might not be a proper solution for confidential files. I wouldn’t want my ‘Plan for World Domination.docx’ leaking to the public. In this blog I try to give an alternative solution for those long hyperlinks.
