Product Description

If you’re a .NET or Microsoft Office developer, this book will give you the tools and the techniques you need to build great solutions for the SharePoint platform. It offers practical insights that will help you take advantage of this powerful new integrated suite of server-based collaboration software tools along with specific examples that show you how to implement your own custom solutions. You’ll then be able to apply this information to create collaborative web-based applications that enhance user productivity and deliver rich user experiences.

You’ll start by building a strong foundation based on a thorough understanding of the technologies that come with the SharePoint platform, while also drilling into specific implementation areas. Next, you’ll dive into seven key SharePoint development areas: the base collaboration platform, portal and composite application frameworks, enterprise search, ECM, business process automation and workflow, electronic forms, and business intelligence.

This book is for ASP.NET developers who want to add collaboration support to their existing applications, Windows/Office client developers who want to move their solutions from the desktop to the web, and experienced SharePoint version 2.0 developers who want to take advantage of the new capabilities available in Windows SharePoint Services 3.0.

5 out of 5 stars Great True Development Book   June 27, 2007
Brian Abram (Washington, DC)
22 out of 22 found this review helpful

Most of the SharePoint books out there focus on the basic features of WSS, including lists, document libraries, views, blogs, wikis, etc. Although these are integral parts of SharePoint, they don't begin to scratch the surface of what it has to offer.

This book begins to cover these details. Topics such as building a true development/production environment, designing an enterprise portal application, creating custom field types (not just creating custom columns), creating web parts, building custom features and solutions, and programming through the object model are important to SharePoint developers creating SharePoint content in Visual Studio.

This book also takes great aim as documenting that which hasn't been documented yet, especially the XML schemas of features, elements, and solutions.

Finally, the book focuses on the enterprise portal features of MOSS, including Excel services, the Business Data Catalog, Enterprise Search, and Document Management.

Because this book focuses heavily on development, Content Managers will be better off choosing another book from the many out there for creating lists, customizing master pages, creating style sheets, and other content topics.

But for SharePoint portal architects and development programmers, this is your book. There's a wealth of information in this book and deserves to be in your library.



5 out of 5 stars Good supplement to the SDK   June 18, 2007

If you need to extend MOSS functionality, or integrate other systems with MOSS, this book will help get you going.

The MOSS SDK is a good reference, but doesn't provide much direction. This book fills in those gaps and gives you good, real world examples of MOSS development.

Good examples of workflow, and the chapter on BDC was very helpful for us.

Highly recommended.



5 out of 5 stars A must have if you are serious about MOSS 2007 Development   September 3, 2007

I always find WROX books are the best value for money. This book is no exception. The details this book provides is atypical and that is what I find very useful. Devil is in the details and we need that for programming.

If you are interested in Solutions Development on SharePoint Platform, this book is a very good companion.



5 out of 5 stars Good for a beginner   December 10, 2007

I was given this book by one of the Author (John Holiday) during a training on Enterprise Content Management. I have collected quite a few books on SharePoint most proclaiming to be a developers guide but they have chapters after chapters devoted to configuring WWS 3.0 or MOSS. However, this book gives you a very good start and provides step by step guide on creating various solution.
I would recommend this for all beginners and intermediate developers!!!

Provides a good technical overview of the platform as well as overviews of the different development options. This should be your starting point when considering development on the SharePoint platform.
