The content and screenshots in this book are based on SharePoint
2013. The techniques shown can also be applied to SharePoint 2016.
Custom SharePoint Solutions with HTML and JavaScript shows you how to
build and customize SharePoint solutions to suit a wide range of
business needs. You don't need a background in Microsoft technologies;
you'll learn how to rapidly build and customize sites entirely on the
front end, starting with out-of-the-box features and extending them with
HTML and JavaScript code.
The book starts with an introduction to working with SharePoint on the
front end, and how this can help you avoid common pitfalls associated
with deploying custom code on the server. You'll start by using
SharePoint's browser-based tools to place and manipulate out-of-the-box
web parts on a page. Then learn to inject some simple HTML and
JavaScript to manipulate these web parts, and use JSLink to rapidly
style and manipulate data in the List web part. You'll also see examples
of how to build your own custom web parts using HTML, JavaScript and
CSS.
For those who want to dive deeper into JavaScript on SharePoint,
chapters cover working directly with built-in JavaScript methods and
properties and the JavaScript object model (JSOM), and how to work with
the powerful new REST API, which gives you the ultimate flexibility over
what you do with your data.
Whatever your background, whether it's web development, working with
SharePoint on the server side, or if you're a SharePoint user looking to
learn new skills, Custom SharePoint Solutions with HTML and JavaScript
will show you how to get what you want from SharePoint, quickly and
reliably.
