SharePoint Developer Session at .Net UG in Wellington
Zac from my team is doing a session on “Developing with Windows SharePoint Services v3.0” at the Wellington .Net user group on Wednesday 1st of August at 6.00 PM.
Session details are available at http://www.dot.net.nz/wellington, and below:
Developing with Windows SharePoint Services v3.0
With Windows SharePoint Services 3.0, IT professionals can tailor or extend the Windows SharePoint Services foundation to create new, efficient, Web-based tools and services specific to the organization, department, business process, or industry vertical. Through a highly customizable and extensible platform, companies can tie these new tools and services to existing line-of-business applications, capitalizing on existing IT investments and valuable information stored in back-end systems.
WSS is often thought of as just a document collaboration platform. This session will demonstrate how to use the Windows SharePoint Services platform to build rich, flexible, and scalable Web-based applications and Internet sites specific to the needs of your organization. As of version 3.0, WSS is now built on top of the ASP.NET 2.0 Framework. This allows modern .NET development techniques to be employed. With the major architectural improvements in version 3.0, WSS can now be realised as a powerful application framework.
The development topics being covered in this session may include the following:
* Object Model Basics * Object Model Best Practices * Cross Site Queries (CAML) * SharePoint Designer Basics * WebPart Basics * WSS Event Handling * Microsoft and Community Developed Tools & Utilities * Features & the Solution Framework * WSS as an Application Framework
The session is intended to be at a technical level and there will be many code based demonstrations. It is targeted at .NET web developers. No in-depth WSS knowledge is required, however a basic understanding of SharePoint related technologies will be beneficial.
