Visual Studio 2010 SP1 installed

Finally found a convenient time to install VS 2010 SP1 (often difficult when you have several key projects on the go and you do not want to break your "known good" VS 2010 / TFS build). Anyhow, it is well worth installing... here's the info you need:

Since the install I've had no issues so far - looking promising :-)

I need to upgrade the TFS server next. I'll try it on our dev TFS box first and see how that pans out first.

Web Designer and Content Manager - ideal for recent IT graduate

We are looking for someone to work on a dedicated project for one of our clients, which is a large multi-national company.

You will be required to:

- Create, design and administer sites in SharePoint
- Migrate content from existing web sites to SharePoint
- Discuss with users their requirements and design/implement sites accordingly
- Provide SharePoint technical support

If you have no experience in SharePoint, cross-training will be provided by your team colleague(s).

You may also have the opportunity to do some ASP.Net/C#/SQL work depending upon your experience and interests.

We are looking for someone who has an IT related qualification at degree level or equivalent, with both web and design experience. You will also need to be proficient in using HTML and CSS. Excellent communication and organisational skills are essential, and you should be able to use your initiative whilst being flexible to the demands of the users.

Experience of Sharepoint 2007/2010 (or similar CMS) and Javascript would be an advantage but is not essential. In addition, any Visual Studio 2008/2010, ASP.Net, C# coding and SQL database experience may also be beneficial if you wish to get involved with web development activities.

This contract is initially for 6 months (£14 to £16/hr, 37.5 hour week) but there may be the possibility of further work after this time, and would ideally suit a recent graduate or someone looking to broaden their IT skills.

To apply, please send your CV to lisa@visualizehr.co.uk and a covering email detailing your interest in this role by 28th June 2011.
