Web Development

?

Web Development• Web development is a broad term for

the work involved in developing a web site for the Internet (World Wide Web) or an intranet (a private network).

• Web Development can be split into many areas but typically it consists of:

− Client Side Coding− JavaScript/ JQuery/ Silverlight/

− Server Side Coding− Java/ ASP.Net/ Python

SharePoint for Web Development• Microsoft SharePoint is a web application platform

developed by Microsoft.

• SharePoint is typically associated with web content management and document management systems, but it is actually a much broader platform of web technologies, capable of being configured into a wide range of solution areas.

SharePoint for Web Development• SharePoint is an Application that sits on top

of ASP.net (3.5 SP1 in the current SharePoint 2010)

• SharePoint overrides a lot of ASP.net built-in functionality (they have their own .aspx Parser)

• SharePoint is build on ASP.Net. If you want to make enterprise WebSites, go for SharePoint.

SharePoint for Web Development• Look at this. This site is made with

SharePoint :) − http://www.ferrari.com/Italian/Pages/Home.aspx

SharePoint for Web Development• People use basic templates for basic websites

(wordpress, joomla...), but most companies use SharePoint, because management of enterprise websites with SharePoint is really user friendly :)

• Basically my advice is: Use SharePoint when you absolutely have to, avoid it whenever you can and stay with just ASP.net.

SharePoint Content

Formally known as “Content Management”

The facilities for the creation, review, publication and disposal of content including conforming to defined compliance rules, whether the content exists as traditional documents or as Web pages.  SharePoint 2010’s content-management capabilities include document management, records management, and Web-content management. 

Information workers need tools to manage the entire lifecycle of content from the time it is created to when it is published and finally disposed or stored for long term archival
