Add article content and editing to your Page Layout
If you work with Sharepoint Designer, use your own page layouts and want to have them for a page in a publishing site, you have to put in some controls in order to see th page content in you custom page layout. Put in a appropriate place in you page layout ( taken from ArticleLeft.aspx):
<div>
<PublishingWebControls:EditModePanel runat="server" CssClass="edit-mode-panel">
<SharePoint:TextField runat="server" FieldName="Title"/>
</PublishingWebControls:EditModePanel>
<div class="captioned-image">
<div class="image">
<PublishingWebControls:RichImageField FieldName="PublishingPageImage" runat="server"/>
</div>
<div class="caption">
<PublishingWebControls:RichHtmlField FieldName="PublishingImageCaption"
AllowTextMarkup="false" AllowTables="false" AllowLists="false"
AllowHeadings="false" AllowStyles="false" AllowFontColorsMenu="false"
AllowParagraphFormatting="false" AllowFonts="false" PreviewValueSize="Small"
AllowInsert="false" runat="server"/>
</div>
</div>
<div class="article-header">
<div class="date-line">
<SharePoint:DateTimeField FieldName="ArticleStartDate" runat="server"/>
</div>
<div class="by-line">
<SharePoint:TextField FieldName="ArticleByLine" runat="server"/>
</div>
</div>
<div class="article-content">
<PublishingWebControls:RichHtmlField FieldName="PublishingPageContent"
HasInitialFocus="True" MinimumEditHeight="400px" runat="server"/>
</div>
<PublishingWebControls:EditModePanel runat="server" CssClass="edit-mode-panel roll-up">
<PublishingWebControls:RichImageField FieldName="PublishingRollupImage"
AllowHyperLinks="false" runat="server" />
<asp:Label text="<%$Resources:cms,Article\_rollup\_image\_text%>" runat="server" />
</PublishingWebControls:EditModePanel>

Add TreeView to Site
For all of who use Randy Drisgill’s starter masters, it won’t help if you go to Site Actions TreView and just enable it, because the DelegateControl is in a hidden panel. To really restore the original treeview you have to copy this xml from v4.master:
<Sharepoint:UIVersionedContent runat="server" UIVersion="4">
<ContentTemplate>
<Sharepoint:SPNavigationManager
id="TreeViewNavigationManagerV4"
runat="server"
ContainedControl="TreeView"
CssClass="s4-treeView"
>
<SharePoint:SPLinkButton runat="server"
NavigateUrl="~site/\_layouts/viewlsts.aspx"
id="idNavLinkSiteHierarchyV4"
Text="<%$Resources:wss,treeview\_header%>"
accesskey="<%$Resources:wss,quiklnch\_allcontent\_AK%>"
CssClass="s4-qlheader" />
<div class="ms-treeviewouter">
<SharePoint:DelegateControl runat="server" ControlId="TreeViewAndDataSource">
<Template\_Controls>
<SharePoint:SPHierarchyDataSourceControl
runat="server"
id="TreeViewDataSourceV4"
RootContextObject="Web"
IncludeDiscussionFolders="true"
/>
<SharePoint:SPRememberScroll runat="server"
id="TreeViewRememberScrollV4"
onscroll="javascript:_spRecordScrollPositions(this);"
style="overflow: auto;height: 400px;width: 155px; ">
<Sharepoint:SPTreeView
id="WebTreeViewV4"
runat="server"
ShowLines="false"
DataSourceId="TreeViewDataSourceV4"
ExpandDepth="0"
SelectedNodeStyle-CssClass="ms-tvselected"
NodeStyle-CssClass="ms-navitem"
SkipLinkText=""
NodeIndent="12"
ExpandImageUrl="/_layouts/images/tvclosed.png"
ExpandImageUrlRtl="/_layouts/images/tvclosedrtl.png"

</Sharepoint:SPTreeView>

MongoDB shell, learn directly in browser
Are you also curious about NoSQL databases. Well, MongoDB is one of the most known ones. MongoDB has a javascript syntax (json), I like it. Try out the interactive shell at the mongodb site. 
Quickstart on Ubuntu
To test it on Ubuntu, just install an existing apt-package:
sudo apt-get install mongodbCreating custom my site template
Here are some links to start creating a custom my site template:
If you want to take the default templates take a look at **{SharepointRoot}\TEMPLATE\SiteTempates\SPMSITE **(the site template for “my content” - an individual site collection rootweb template, and first of all {SharepointRoot}\TEMPLATE\SiteTempates\SPMSITEHOST, the host site template for my sites. They include pages and onet.xml. Both use mysite.master which can be found at:
s4-die
s4-die is a funny stuff. Now I realized the purpose of it. Everything that has to be hidden, Microsoft wraps in an element with class=“s4-die”. In corev4.css it is defined with display:none. Not so bad. Another approach is to create a invisible panel like Randy Drisgill has done. But with s4-die you don’t need to move your stuff around, just add the class s4-die. 
master page for html5 and css3
A great work: v5.master. I am recommending to try it. The problem are some javascript bugs in the IE 9 when you run IE mode 9 that are necessary to enable html5 and css3 support. You can’t “save” a list item: 
The reason why it doesn’t work in IE, but in Chrome, Firefox, is that IE invokes some functionality that it doesn’t invoke in other browsers. Next: Enable Save button in IE9
Increase responsivity of a virtual machine in VMWare
Sometimes a virtual machine can freeze, just add these lines to vmx:
MemTrimRate=0
sched.mem.pshare.enable = "FALSE"
mainMem.useNamedFile = "FALSE"
prefvmx.minVmMemPct = "100"Change the layout of Search Box without custom delegate control
The surest way to customize Search box in Sharepoint is to create a delegate control. In Sharepoint.Stackexchange there are many links to resources about this. But if you don’t have access to server or can’t deploy, the easiest way to do it is to style it with css. Thanks Steve Ottenad.
.s4-search .ms-sbgo a {
background:url(../images/search\_btn.png) no-repeat;
width:27px;
height:22px;
display:block;
}
.s4-search .srch-gosearchimg, .s4-search .ms-sbgo span {
display:none;
}First we hide the the default image and then we add our image for search button as background.
Automated tests for Sharepoint

Determine the build version of Sharepoint
Sometimes you need to know what version of Sharepoint is installed on your machine. Perhaps when you want to restore a .bak-file (a backup done on another machine and you get error message like:
Restore-SPSite : Your backup is from a different version of Microsoft SharePoint Foundation and cannot be restored to a
server running the current version. The backup file should be restored to a server with version '14.0.0.6109' or laterTo find out your build version you can do it in UI: go to Central Administration -> System Settings -> Manage servers in this farm -> Configuration database version. Or you can do in Powershell running:
