ASP.NET

A Developer’s Perspective…

Windows SharePoint Services is great out of the box

No code required for immediate valueWindows SharePoint Services will ship after Windows Server 2003 using Windows Update

Rich extensibility for custom solutionsManaged server object modelRemote access through Web ServicesWeb Part infrastructure for extending UI

Leverages ASP.NET platform advancements in the future
