  4. SharePoint as a developer platform • Quick and easy to install and configure • WSS/MOSS SDKs with samples • Code samples, blogs etc available • Active (and vocal) community, user groups • Minimal coding needed (generally) • Rich customisation experience • Integrates with version control, build tools etc • Visual Studio 2005/2008 integration • Think of it as ASP.NET++

  5. Common Myths • Limited toolset support • Debugging is not supported • There is no code behind support • No source control integration • Deployment of custom components is hard • Test Driven development can’t be done • The platform isn’t mature yet • No AJAX or Silverlight support Not True!! Yes!! SP1

Getting Started • Virtual PC 2007 & Windows 2003 Virtual Environment • Windows Server 2008 x64 - Hyper-V Environment • Windows SharePoint Services V3 (Min) & SP1 • MOSS 2007 Enterprise & SP1 • Visual Studio 2005 & VseWSS V1.1 • SharePoint Designer • InfoPath Client • SQL Server 2005 SP2 & hotfixes • WSS & MOSS SDKs – Now V1.3 • 64 Bit Vista > 4GB RAM – Ideal!
