SharePoint Guidance Assets
The patterns & practices Developing SharePoint Applications guidance includes the following assets:
- Documentation. There are two CHM files. One contains the written guidance for the Partner Portal application, the SharePoint Guidance Library, and the Training Management application. The other is the API reference for the SharePoint Guidance Library.
- SharePoint Guidance Library. This library contains reusable components that you can include in your own SharePoint applications. The library components can help you to build SharePoint applications that incorporate many of the best practices that are discussed in the documentation.
- Contoso Partner Portal Reference Implementation (Partner Portal application). (This is referred to as the Partner Portal application in the written guidance). This SharePoint application demonstrates how Contoso Pharmaceuticals uses SharePoint to provide an extranet to its external partners. This application demonstrates how to design and implement an enterprise-scale SharePoint application.
- Contoso Training Management Reference Implementation (Training Management application). (This is referred to as the Training Management application in the written guidance). This is a much simpler SharePoint application than the Partner Portal application. It demonstrates how to perform basic SharePoint tasks.
- QuickStarts. These include the source code for two small, focused applications that illustrate how to debug an SPItemEventReceiver and how to access items in a SharePoint list.
