1 Trainer Preparation Guide for Course 20488B: Developing Microsoft SharePoint Server 2013 Core Solutions 1 Trainer Preparation Guide for Course 20488B: Developing Microsoft SharePoint Server 2013 Core Solutions Design of the Course The course can be viewed as consisting of four phases: Phase 1: Provide a high level view of the SharePoint developer landscape Phase 2: The serverside object model and server side custom components Phase 3: The SharePoint app development model Phase 4: Components that encompass serverside and client side development Module 1: SharePoint as a Developer Platform Module 2: Working with SharePoint Objects Module 3: Working with Lists and Libraries Module 4: Designing and Managing Solutions Module 5: Working with Server Side Code Module 6: Managing Identity and Permissions Module 7: Introducing SharePoint Apps Module 8: Client Side SharePoint Development Module 9: Developing Remote Hosted SharePoint Apps Module 10: Publishing and Distributing SharePoint Apps Module 11: Automating Business Processes Module 12: Managing Taxonomy Module 13: Managing Custom Components and Site Lifecycles Module 14: Customizing User Interface Elements Module 15: Working with Branding and Navigation Phase 1 Module 1 underpins the entire course and is designed to provide a high-level overview of the SharePoint developer landscape. The module should help students to make design decisions and to understand how the content that follows fits into the bigger picture. Phase 2 This phase of the course covers server-side development tasks, both in terms of foundational knowledge and specific exam objectives. Students generally grasp client-side development techniques for SharePoint more easily if they first have a solid understanding of core SharePoint development concepts, the SharePoint platform, and the server-side object model. Module 2 describes the core classes of the server-side SharePoint object model. It explains how these classes relate to each other and how they relate to key components of the SharePoint

Working with the server-side object model is inherently more straightforward than working with the client-side object model, so it makes sense to cover these foundational concepts early in the course. Module 3 describes how to work with lists and libraries; in particular how to query and update list data. These are core procedures that are fundamental to a wide range of SharePoint development activities. Many of the modules that follow, both for server-side development and client-side development, rely on an understanding of list query and update operations. Module 4 describes how to design and manage features and solutions. Features are central to deploying almost any custom component, both in solutions and apps. Students require a solid understanding of features and solutions before they cover event receivers in Module 5. Module 5 covers core server-side development activities, such as creating web parts, event receivers, timer jobs, and storing configuration data. These activities build on the concepts introduced in Modules 2-4. Module 6 covers identity and permissions, from straightforward permissions management to more advanced topics such as creating custom claims providers. Developers need a solid understanding of server-side development fundamentals before they approach these topics, hence this module is placed after Modules 2-5. Phase 3 Modules 7-10 describe SharePoint app development. Module 7 introduces the core concepts of app development, Module 8 covers the essentials of the SharePoint client-side object models, and Module 9 describes the additional complexities introduced by auto-hosted and provider-hosted apps. Finally, Module 10 describes how to publish and distribute apps when the development process is complete. We want developers to have a solid understanding of the SharePoint platform and SharePoint development concepts before we introduce app development, hence the decision to place these modules after we have covered core server-side development concepts in Modules 2-6. Phase 4 Modules cover development activities that can encompass both server-side solution development and client-side app development. These modules rely on students having a solid understanding of both server-side and client-side development techniques, hence the decision to place these modules at the end of the course.
