SharePoint is gaining recognition as a full-fledged application server
with many features and enhancements that specifically allow
non-developers to create sophisticated intranet sites. However, with the
2010 release, Microsoft's SharePoint increasingly becomes a compelling
development platform. The strong application programming interface
(API), its highly extensible nature, and its foundation on the
underlying .NET Framework all generate "the perfect storm" to make it
one of the most powerful web development platforms available.
However, with power comes complexity. The wide range of usage scenarios
make it difficult for developers to grasp the full ability of this
next-generation platform. This book takes an in-depth, all-encompassing
approach to programming concepts, the extensibility interfaces, and how
to embrace SharePoint as a toolkit full of features available to web
developers.
- Take an in-depth look into the internals of SharePoint.
- Create sophisticated applications using SharePoint controls and
databases.
- Understand the API and use in conjunction with ASP.NET to extend
SharePoint.
SharePoint is more than a portal and more than an intranet. Harness its
capabilities and put it to work for you.
