SharePoint Development

The business community has rapidly adopted Microsoft SharePoint Products and Technologies, which include SharePoint Foundation Server and Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2010. While SharePoint Products and Technologies offer a long list of features and capabilities with the default installation, the platform is also extensible and customizable and can satisfy even the most complex business requirements. Fortunately, SharePoint Products and Technologies are built on the Microsoft .NET Framework. Therefore, developers with .NET Framework experience and skills can take advantage of a familiar programming environment and set of development tools to extend the platform.

Sharepoint Services

SharePoint Foundation Server and Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2010 are constructed in a stacked architecture, with the Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 acting as the foundation.SharePoint Foundation Server is built on top of Microsoft ASP.NET 3.5, and uses many of the components that ASP.NET 3.5 has to offer. Nearly everything that is available to ASP.NET 3.5 developers—such as master pages, user and server controls, the ability to cache custom HTTP handlers, and modules—is available within SharePoint Foundation Server.
