After waiting few hours and restarted server and tried many ways but no help its shows me… above message…

and try this option : http://blogs.technet.com/b/mpriem/archive/2012/08/20/sharepoint-2013-preview-newsfeeds-showing-nothing.aspx no help… :-(

So i decided to investigate ULS Log, which shows displays that “No cache hosts are present or running in the farm”

Under Service notice that AppFabric Caching Service was disable, I started the service and Re-set Application Pool and Re-Set IIS server NO HELP !!!

Finally discover that “Distributed cache” is stopped on SharePoint Service on Server

Go to Central Administration, click Application Management.

In Service Applications, click Manage Services on Server.

On the Services on Server page, locate the Distributed Cache service.

If the Distributed Cache service is stopped and you want to start the service, under Action, click Start.

Click “Newsfeed” now you can view “Status update text box, newsfeeds…” enjoy…

SharePoint 2013 : My Site Something went wrong ?

After Install & configure SharePoint Server 2013. First think everyone wants to explore the new feature called “Newsfeed” on My Site.

Unfortunately, sometimes you may expected following error.

“We’re sorry, Something went wrong with your My Site setup.

Please try again later or contact your help desk.” 

This error due to root site, after Installing SharePoint 2013, you need to configure default the Root (/) site collection, sometimes you may created under /Sites/ instead of Root (/).

Now you create new Site collection  (/) Root. this will enable you to create My Site without any issue. :-)

After Root Site collection created you may able to see Newsfeed, Blog, Apps, and Tasks

Asynchronous Programming in C# 5 - 1900 - 2030 hrs

Ever struggled writing or debugging multithreaded code? Join Joe Albahari, author of C# 5 in a Nutshell, for a practical session on how to write responsive applications in C# 5 without resorting to threads, locks or BackgroundWorker. We'll explore the theory as well as the practice behind C# 5's new asynchronous functions, and see why the old-school approach is not only hard work, but fundamentally broken. We'll also touch on Reactive Framework, and they'll be a question-and-answer session on all aspects of C# 5, asynchrony and multithreading.

Joe Albahari is the inventor of LINQPad and an O'Reilly author. He's published 7 books with O'Reilly, including C# 5.0 in a Nutshell, and has written extensively on multithreading and parallel programming. He speaks regularly at user groups and conferences such as TechEd and YOW, and has been a C# MVP since 2008.
