It's no secret that cloud-based computing is the next big movement in
IT, and Microsoft is right there in the market with Office 365--a
cloud-based productivity suite which includes a hosted, cloud-focused
version of SharePoint 2010.
SharePoint 2010 developers who have traditionally developed for
on-premise environments will suddenly find themselves being asked to
develop for the cloud. While there is a lot of overlap between
cloud-based and traditional SharePoint development, there are also some
important differences and considerations that must be taken into account
as well. In particular, the proliferation of cloud-based solutions was a
driving force behind certain new features in SharePoint 2010, like
sandboxed solutions and the new client object model.
As the devil is always in the details, Pro SharePoint 2010 Development
for Office 365 helps you navigate the changes and develop compelling
applications and solutions for SharePoint Online in Office 365. Authors
Dave Milner, Bart McDonough, and Paul Stork bring to the
table decades of experience in real-world development of solutions for
customers--expertise that is the practical result of what works in
real-world customer environments. This proven team will cover with you
the architectural landscape that SharePoint in the cloud represents,
discuss the steps in setting up a development environment, and cover
multiple real-world development approaches, technologies, and
considerations.
