3 Agenda Introduction to SharePoint Platform Overview of SharePoint Development Tools.NET Development Environment for SharePoint Visual Studio Solutions for SharePoint 2010 SharePoint 2010 Solution Architectures Some New SharePoint 2010 Features

4 The SharePoint Platform SharePoint Foundation 2010 (f.k.a. WSS 3.0) SharePoint Server 2010 (f.k.a. MOSS 2007) Why should I develop on a platform? Which edition is right for me?

5 Why Platforms? Custom Code Business Apps Search Error Handling Content Management Administration Area Menus Authorization Authentication 10-15% of the effort. Lost projects because of one-time costs. MVC Framework Significant cost reduction and standardization. Business Apps RAD SEO Friendly Standards-Based Separation of Roles Uniformity Error Handling Menus (Menu Control) Authorization Authentication Platform Business Apps Much Other Stuff RAD SEO Friendly Standards-Based Separation of Roles Uniformity Search Administration Area Content Management Error Handling Menus Authorization Authentication

6 When the requirements call for it Not a brochure site Authentication and search required Does not have to be a large-scale project No-brainer for most intranets

7 When you need self-service Web Parts (re-usability) Subscriptions and alerts RSS Recycle Bin My Site Connecting with peers Publishing

8 When you need personalization/socialization From a webmaster s perspective Targeted content From a visitor s perspective Ability to customize look and feel Tagging and newsfeeds Organizational chart and peer suggestions

9 When you need workflow Based on Workflow Foundation In addition: SharePoint front-end Document libraries and task lists Workflow history lists

10 When you want flexible development options Web Parts Object model Client object model (managed code, JavaScript, SilverLight) Web services Separation of development roles GUI expert, workflow developer, reports and queries, event handlers Varying levels of experience on a project team

11 When you want focus on the business requirements Do not worry about how someone will find your application or how it integrates with the security model Eliminate the headache of external content repositories

12 When you want consistency in your support footprint Common user interface Vocabulary Standardized code base

13 When you want to take advantage of the inherent features of the platform Collaboration Portal Content Management Search Business Intelligence Forms and Business Processes

14 When you want to offset the cost of development More time spent in the planning and design stages should surface more out-of-the-box features [that should save time later] Out-of-the-box features should reduce the cost of custom software development Developer focus should shift immediately to the business needs and extending the out-ofthe-box features

15 When you need SOA Rest API expose SharePoint content Use the object model to create your own web services/wcfs

16 When you need composite applications Dashboards, Mash-ups Business Connectivity Services All levels of your organization

17 When you need composite applications Before SharePoint ERP CRM Middleware Legacy Systems

18 When you need composite applications ERP SharePoint CRM Legacy Systems

19 When you need Single Sign On Multiple built-in authentication options Support for third-party authentication providers Built-in SSO provider Manages credentials for other apps on your intranet

20 When you need off-line support of your data Office Integration Importing/exporting lists from/to excel Linked tables with Access Calendar/Task List integration with Outlook Groove/SharePoint Workspace

21 When you need auditing and retention policies Log just the events you need for what lists are of interest to you Develop auditing reports using SSRS Develop/customize workflows for content retention and disposal

22 When a development community is important to you Blogs and forums Community video tutorials User Groups CodePlex Commercial/Open Source Features and Web Parts

23 When you can no longer resist Up to 92% satisfaction rating in the categories of functionality, end user experience, total cost of ownership and end user acceptance Up to 59% of all companies are projected to have SharePoint or an equivalent platform by the end of this 2008 and that number was projected to increase 19% between 2009 and 2011

27 SharePoint Development Environment for.net SharePoint no longer required on development machine in some cases, but recommended Virtual environment 64-bit is a must RAM is your friend Upcoming session at devlink

28 Visual Studio Solutions Formerly 2 Gaps filled with CodePlex add-ons Now 14 OOB for SharePoint

29 SharePoint Solution Architectures Object Model Web Services *Client Object Model Web Parts Event Handlers Workflows Desktop Apps * New Client Object Model exists for Managed.NET, Silverlight and ECMA Script

30 Object Model Server Architecture

36 Client Object Model Demo

37 Client Object Model Files Managed Client (CLR based) C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\14\ISAPI Microsoft.SharePoint.Client (281 kb) Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.Runtime (145 kb) FYI: Microsoft.SharePoint.dll is 15.3 mb JavaScript Client C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\14\Template\Layouts SP.js (380 kb) SP.Core.js (13 kb) SP.Runtime.js (68 kb)

38 Client Object Model Files Silverlight Client C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\14\Template\Layouts\ClientBin Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.Silverlight (262 kb) Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.Silverlight.Runtime (138 kb)

39 Client Object Model Allows you to write SharePoint applications that run on different platforms w/o using web services Traditional.NET, Web/JavaScript and Silverlight developers can use familiar syntax

40 New Features Ease of deployment Publish and run if SharePoint on local host Package and deploy if SharePoint remote Debugging Step through code if SharePoint on local host Sandbox solutions Allow applications to be deployed at the site collection level by a site collection administrator (as opposed to farm-level equivalent)

41 New Features LINQ Support No longer restricted to just CAML queries if writing server-based code Create strongly typed SharePoint objects using SPMetal utility

42 New Features Dialog framework External Lists Looks and behaves like a SharePoint list Stored in SQL Server or some other data source
