To a lot of developers, SharePoint software development could be a bit of a mystery. This is true especially for those who felt that developing the platform is cumbersome and beyond their reach. SharePoint is a main step forward as a development platform, not just of the rich set of features it supports but also due to considerable investments that have been made in the suite of tools that are designed to make the process of development more accessible and more productive to developers in all levels of skills.
Now, you could unleash the potentials of SharePoint software development for each enhancement and customization. Below are some of the things that the development of SharePoint software could provide to developers, IT managers and website owners.
FOR THE DEVELOPER:
1. Codeless configuration – build applications that one could easily maintain and support, up to 80 percent faster without custom coding.
2. Quick apps – hastens SharePoint app development with the use o f ready-made templates in order to deliver CRM, project management and help desk apps that are maintained, supported and extended easily.
3. Simplified upgrades – offer sophisticated apps that are upgraded easily when new versions are released.
4. Better build – extend apps beyond native capacities and exceed expectations of users with the use of tabular forms.
5. Easy integration – brings data together from all enterprise app systems, like Oracle, SAP, 2 and Domino minus the hassle of copying the data to SharePoint manually.
For the Website Owner:
1. Codeless configuration – you could make your own customizations thus you get exactly what you require from the platform when you need it, without having to depend on information technology to create custom code.
2. Build-it-your-way – where you could customize SharePoint experience to fit precisely your needs. This is whether it means compelling charts, enhanced UI, rich forms, attractive dashboards or improved navigation.
For the Information Technology Manager:
1. Cost containment – accelerating development of SharePoint cycles save time, resource and money and could maximize SharePoint investment.
2. Fast customization – increases the usability and adoption of SharePoint, meet business needs and streamline the development process through implementing enhancements fast without custom coding.
The two main developer tools for SharePoint software development are Visual Studio 2010 and SharePoint Designer 2010. With Visual Studio 2010, you get project templates in the box, thus you could begin on solution development immediately. Moreover, tooling has standardized on the WSP or Windows SharePoint Package packaging standard, so when importing or deploying a SharePoint solution, the Visual Studio considers it a solution package. In addition to that, there are several wonderful packaging and deployment package features, like custom deployment configurations, solution retraction, and ship with the tools in Visual Studio 2010.
There are also SharePoint 2010 enhancements, which definitely could be used in a context of Visual Studio 2010. For instance, a new client object model allows you to access SharePoint objects via referenced DLL as opposite to Web service calls. New project templates in Visual Studio 2010 are the Visual Web Part project template that enables developers to design a Web Part visually that could be deployed to SharePoint.
