Authorisation - access controls / role based

Personalisation - user profile systemAudiences - content targeting

SharePoint Platform Services

Very similar to traditional developmentUse Visual Studio 2005/8 with VSeWSSProcess

1. Develop on an individual environment (normally Virtual PC 2007)

2. Check-in to Team Foundation Server3. Package into features/solutions4. Periodic deployment to shared SharePoint

Server integration environment5. Deployment to production

SharePoint Platform Services

Use SharePoint Designer 2007Master pages, page layoutsWrite No-code workflowsModify CSS filesEdit .aspx pagesAdd script to pagesCustomise look & feel of Web PartsWrite XSLT to customise data rendering

Artifacts are not compiled into assembliesTreated as content, not code Built-in source control via SharePoint document libraries

To get your features and associated files deployed …You could:

Manually copy files onto the file systemAdd web.config entries for assembliesDo IIS resetRepeat, on EVERY web front end!

Alternatively – use SharePoint Solutions

SharePoint Platform Services

SharePoint Solution Packages simplifies the distribution of solutions

Windows SharePoint Services 2.0 (SPS 2003)Designed with its own Web Part infrastructure

ASP.NET 2.0Designed with newer universal Web Part infrastructureASP.NET 2.0 does not support WSS v2 Web Parts

Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 (MOSS 2007) Supports WSS V2 style Web PartsSupports ASP.NET 2.0 style Web Parts (preferred)

SharePoint Platform Services

Create a new class library DLL projectCreate a class that inherits from ASP.NET Web Part classOverride methods as required (e.g. RenderContents)

Deploy Web Part DLLCompile DLL into \bin directory or GACConfigure DLL in web.config file SafeControl listWeb Parts loaded from \bin subject to security restrictions

controlled by Code Access Security settings

Import Web Part into a WSS site collectionAdd Web Part class to Web Part GalleryAdd Web Part to zone on a Web Part Page

Use the Visual Studio Extensions for SharePointor STSDEV (on codeplex)

Automates the whole process to make it simple / quick to test
