Professional Sharepoint 2007 Development

0.0

The book begins with an introduction to the technologies in Microsoft's application platform. Next, it highlights the technologies in SharePoint 2007 that are new for developers. How SharePoint fits in and complements the underlying platform is discussed throughout the book so that the reader knows how to take existing investments in the MSFT platform and move those to SharePoint. Plus, there is a section on how to get your development environment setup to take advantage of SharePoint in the most optimal way. Next, the book dives into 7 key areas of development on SharePoint: base platform, collaboration, portal and composite application frameworks, enterprise search, ECM, business process/workflow/electronic forms and finally business intelligence. Throughout each section, we describe the architecture and then the implementation of solutions on that architecture. The book assumes some base knowledge of the Microsoft development technologies and offers intermediate to advanced topics in each development area.
