Designing and Developing Microsoft SharePoint Server 2010 Applications


 

Objectives: This course is aimed at Microsoft SharePoint Development professionals who are responsible for leading projects, designing solutions, and identifying problems. In this course, students learn the skills and best practices that are required to help companies design and develop effective SharePoint applications. This course is intended for IT professionals who will be responsible for designing custom code for projects that are deployed to SharePoint 2010 servers. To be successful in this course, the student will have at least two years of SharePoint development experience and should have experience with ASP.NET and Microsoft Visual Studio 2010.

Target Audience: This training course is designed for advanced developers of web applications. They should be staff in the web development team tasked with developing their SharePoint installation Development managers tasked with leading teams of SharePoint developers.

Pre-Requisites: This course requires students to meet the following prerequisites:

  • Understanding of the problem-solving techniques that apply to the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC), including software versioning & management of configuration and content in a software system
  • Basic knowledge of Web application architecture
  • Experience in developing in a team environment
  • Working knowledge of ASP.NET and Visual Studio
  • Experience in SharePoint infrastructure including servers and services
  • Experience in SharePoint development including the APIs and XML schemas necessary to create web parts, perform data access, and provision fields, lists, content types, etc.

Duration: 5 Days

Module 1- ASP.NET Advanced Concepts for SharePoint
This module helps you to review the essential information regarding ASP.NET including how to improve performance for high-scale sites like SharePoint. This module covers concepts around ViewState, caching, and session state and provides an opportunity to learn to make appropriate choices.

  • Review the fundamentals of memory management.
  • Identify the key things to drive high CPU utilization.
  • Identify factors impacting client performance.

Module 2 – Designing for User Experience
This module provides the key criteria and structure necessary to make appropriate decisions about what kind of user interface component to use based on the needs of the solution.

  • Review the fundamentals of SharePoint architecture and how it impacts the page design experience.
  • Determine the appropriate page part in SharePoint for a given situation.
  • Determine the appropriate page in SharePoint for a given situation.
  • Identify the considerations for globalizing and localizing your applications.
  • Determine the design impact of WCAG standards for projects requiring accessibility compliance.

Module 3 – Designing for Data
This module explains defining what storage will look like. This module discusses the information about data design critical to the performance and accessibility of the solution. The module also covers scalability issues related to data as well as the tructural components such as the use of lists, list definitions, content types, and fields.

  • Review the fundamentals of foundation for operating with data in SharePoint.
  • Evaluate data size to arrive at potential solutions for large data storage needs.
  • Manage data to arrive at an appropriate data access strategy.

Module 4 – Designing Data Capture and Integration
This module discusses strategies on how to get the data into the system. This module covers the techniques for capturing data – including office integration and integrating to other systems with BCS.

  • Identify the key considerations for data capture in SharePoint.
  • Apply appropriate approach to data capture in SharePoint.
  • Identify the integration options and technologies that are built into the SharePoint platform including the Business Data Catalog (BDC) and Business Connectivity Services (BCS).

Module 5 – Designing Artifacts
This module discusses items that will need to be implemented in SharePoint to tie the user interface and the data structure together. The module covers information about artifacts to begin the transformation of the abstract design into a specific set of deliverables that need to be created through SharePoint.

  • Implement the techniques for evaluating and refining customer requirements.
  • Determine an approach for matching customer requirements to SharePoint artifacts.

Module 6 - Designing Processing Solutions
This module covers the details of options for developing solutions. The module provides decision criteria for the determination of sandbox versus full trust (or a hybrid of the two) deployments. The module also provides details for making decisions about processing including how to address long running operations and how to decide the appropriate processing solutions.

  • Explain the processing solutions and approaches that must be created when working in a multiserver environment.
  • Identify the benefits and limitations of the SharePoint Sandbox features.
  • Determine the choices available for in-page, client, event receiver, workflow, and timer execution models.
  • Evaluate how SharePoint workflows are executed and the factors impacting design.

Module 7 - Designing Packaging
This module addresses the first order problem of factoring the solution into features and packages so that it can be upgraded. This module covers the baseline skills of determining the number, scope, and dependency of features and determining the right number of packages.

  • Explain how packages are created and delivered.
  • Determine the size of features to be able to effectively maintain the given solution.

Module 8 - Designing a Development Strategy
This module focuses on two key items necessary to deploy larger solutions, configuration and logging. This module provides the students a platform to expand the scope of the solution and focus on issues related to dozens of projects on a server, each with its own approach to configuration and logging.

  • Identify the team development needs for SharePoint.
  • Explain operational and diagnostic logging including the differences and the options for recording.
  • Determine the options for storing configuration in a SharePoint environment.

Module 9 - Working with Data Views
This module delves into the challenges of versioning in a SharePoint environment. The module also addresses deployment issues because most deployment issues are related to the versioning process.

  • Review the fundamentals of the software development life cycle and its relation to configuration management.
  • Design a Source Control and build strategy.
  • Determine the approach for versioning a given application.
  • Address specific concerns for upgrading a given application that has been deployed to production.
  • Assess the effectiveness of deployment strategy.

Module 10 - Working with Data Sources
This module helps to draw the distinction between information architecture and branding topics. The module helps to separate taxonomy (organization) from navigation (user interface).

  • Determine the technique necessary to develop an information architecture based on SharePoint.
  • Explain the scalability concerns for individual items in SharePoint in the context of information architecture.
  • Determine the appropriate navigation solution for a given application.

Module 11 - Using Controls in Web Pages
This module covers branding options, including what tools can be used to customize the appearance. The module moves us to including the users and power users of the ultimate solution.

  • Identify the need for branding and how it impacts the overall project.
  • Enumerate the branding options and their various strengths and weaknesses.
  • Identify the decisions to arrive at the best approach to branding.
  • Design a user experience that includes branding.
  • Create a strategy for managing customizations.

Module 12 - Designing Security
