Special Event









Date:February 11-12, 2008
Location:Toronto Marriott® Bloor Yorkville Hotel
Room: The Hanlan Room

Overview:

When most people think of SharePoint, they think of document management and collaboration. It’s true that SharePoint shines in this area but it offers so much more. SharePoint is becoming the web development platform of the future – the evolution of ASP.NET if you will. The ability to quickly plan, design, deploy and utilize effective solutions for your organization is essential to keep pace with the competition. This two-day training camp is designed to introduce you to the SharePoint 2007 technologies and give you a tour of both the end-user and developer features.

Audience:
Anyone interested in exploring solution development on the SharePoint platform. A basic understanding of ASP.NET 2.0 is assumed. Prior experience with SharePoint is not required.

Agenda for February 11-12,2008
Location: Room:The Hanlan Room

We start at 9:00 am and will finish at 6:00 pm on Monday and 4:30 pm on Tuesday.

Anyone interested in exploring solution development on the SharePoint platform. A basic understanding of ASP.NET 2.0 is assumed. Prior experience with SharePoint is not required.

Course Outline:
Introduction to the SharePoint 2007 Technologies
This section will answer the question: “What is SharePoint?” We will discuss Windows SharePoint Services (WSS) and Microsoft Office SharePoint Server (MOSS) and see how they fit in to the overall picture. We will also look at the architecture of the SharePoint technologies and see how they integrate with ASP.NET.

SharePoint 2007 “Out of the Box”
Before you start developing on SharePoint you need to have a solid understanding of the end-user features that come “out of the box”. You will see that simple solutions can be implemented without having to write any code. For more complex situations, the functionality included in SharePoint can get you ½ to ¾ of the way to a complete application. The topics covered in this section will include:

  • Sites and site collections
  • Lists and libraries
  • Web Parts
  • Security
  • Search
  • Site Architecture

SharePoint as a Development Platform
This section explores what you need to do when it is time to go beyond SharePoint’s built-in functionality. While SharePoint 2007 is built on top of ASP.NET 2.0, the development experience is quite different. SharePoint does provide a rich developer API and a set of web services but the tooling support in Visual Studio is sparse and much of the time you are left with little choice but to hand craft XML. Because of this, it is very important to have a solid understanding of the core techniques required to develop on the SharePoint platform. The topics covered in this section will include:

  • API and Web Services
  • Features
  • Web Services
  • Workflow
  • LINQ to SharePoint
  • AJAX and Silverlight integration

    Microsoft Office SharePoint Server
    Some people refer to Microsoft Office SharePoint Server (MOSS) as the premier application built on the SharePoint platform. MOSS adds enterprise features allowing you to quickly create SharePoint sites that support specific content publishing, content management, records management, and business intelligence. It also significantly extends SharePoint’s search capability, allowing quick access to information about people, documents and data in your enterprise or across the internet. The topics covered in this section will include:
    • Business Data Catalog
    • Enterprise Search
    • Web Content Management
    Price and registration

    The cost of the two-day training camp is $1,149.00 plus taxes.

    Space is limited to 25 attendees. Register early!

    0 seat left.
