SharePoint and its Development tools

What’s New in SharePoint 2010New Developer Tools for SharePoint 2010

Platform Investments

LINQ •Entity based programming •Supports list joins and projections •List Relationships and Lookups •Support for creating joins between lists •Lookups can enforce referential integrity between two lists •Project columns from referenced list

REST APIs •Ability to retrieve list data via ADO.NET data services (Astoria)

Client APIs •Silverlight, .NET, JavaScript •Subset of full API •Batched for performance

Events •Custom error page redirection •New site and list events •After-synchronous events

Workflow

•Site-scoped workflows •Customization of OOTB workflows

External Lists

SharePoint Designer 2010 SharePoint Designer 2010’s focus has changed from page-oriented to feature/functionality oriented SPD 2010 is THE tool for building complete, rich, reusable, process-centric applications on the SharePoint platform that integrate with external data •Target Users

• Primary: Business Unit IT, Power IW Secondary: Developers (Rapid Development, Prototyping)

Tool Flow – Moving Between

Create and customize live sites in the browser

or with SharePoint Designer

“Save Site as Template” now produces WSPs

Use WSPs and the Solution Gallery to

create new site instances

VS10 provides WSP import allowing

transition to structured development

Feature upgrade infrastructure provides

mechanism for updating deployed sites with new

functionality

Business Connectivity Services Microsoft Business Connectivity Services is a set of services and features that connect SharePoint-based solutions to sources of external data

What is the cloud?

An approach to computing that’s about internet scale and connecting to a variety of

devices and endpoints

Azure is an operating system in the cloud that enables reach, reusability and scale

Why SharePoint & Azure?

Reach | Resource | Reusability

IMPACTLEVERAGING THE CLOUD

SharePoint

Reach: Extend Azure services and applications into Office 365

Reusability: Deploy once & use everywhere

Resource: Data & large file storage and management

• Offset data costs

• Wider service availability

• Improved programmability

• Skills translation

• Data/Service mash-ups

• Partner opportunities

SP OM, BCS, etc.

Example Points of Integration

Azure Integration How

SP COM Interact with Azure data in a list.

BCS Model data from Azure and/or build external list to SQL Azure.

Silverlight Create UI against Azure services or data.

Sandboxed Solutions/SP Online Silverlight application leveraging Azure deployed to site collection.

Office Custom Client Consume data directly from Azure or BCS list exposing Azure data.

Standard/VisualWeb Parts Leverage services and data from Azure.

Open XML Manage Azure data into a document.

REST Use REST to interact with Azure data to integrate with SP artifacts.

Office Server Services Combine with to auto-gen docs (e.g. PDFs) on server.

Workflow/Event Receivers State or events that tie into Azure services or data.

LINQ Use for querying Azure data objects.

Search Federate search to include Azure data.

ASP.NET & IFRAME

Content Editor Web Part

Site Page

SharePoint

Pros Cons

Simple & lightweight Styling & Formatting

No code No ‘deep’ integration

No deployment to SP No Distribution through SP artifact
