SharePoint 2010 includes numerous new capabilities and features for professional developers most of which are highlighted in this unit. SharePoint 2010 makes developing those solutions easier, quicker, and more flexible. Much of the work that the developer had to do in the past with earlier versions of SharePoint has been replaced with simple configuration of the SharePoint 2010 platform, use of Visual Studio 2010 and SharePoint Designer 2010 or with calls to the SharePoint API.
Hands-On Labs
SharePoint 2010 Developer Roadmap Lab
In this lab you will begin your work with SharePoint 2010 and become familiar with the Virtual Machine (VM) that you will be using in this week’s SharePoint 2010 Developer Workshop. You will get experience working with the SharePoint Central Administration site as well as working with a standard team site. This will allow you to experience the new user interface concepts introduced in SharePoint 2010 such as the server-side ribbon and in-place item editing. You will also get a chance to write and test C# code using the WSS ‘14’ object model. Note that we are purposefully delaying any work with the new VS10 Tools for SharePoint 2010 until the next lab because this new tool set is the focus of the next lecture. At the end of this lab you will also get some hands-on experience working with PowerShell and the new SharePoint 2010 PowerShell Snap-in.
