Pro SharePoint Solution Development: Combining .NET, SharePoint, and
Office 2007 takes a practical problem/solution approach to common
business challenges. You’ll not only encounter interesting code samples,
but also see how to combine these examples with the Microsoft
collaboration platform’s services. The book’s solutions focus on using
Visual Studio Tools for Office to build the user interface layer. And
solutions can interact with SharePoint as a service provider, taking
advantage of SharePoint’s many collaboration features like document
repositories, collaboration sites, and search functions. This book is
unique because it starts with challenges that end users deal with every
day when using the Microsoft collaboration platform to support business
processes. The solutions are presented as the hypothetical business
challenges of a fictional company. By presenting the examples in this
context, authors Ed Hild and Susie Adams make it easier to relate to the
challenges and solution value. And the goal of these examples is to
build applications that apply the benefits of the Office desktop
interface with the richness of SharePoint’s collaboration features.
