Overview of this book

SharePoint is an incredibly powerful platform that can support a wide variety of business scenarios. In many cases it needs to be configured or extended in order to deliver fully featured business solutions. While some books merely talk about the capabilities of SharePoint in general and leave you to figure out how they apply to your situation, this book takes a different approach. Each chapter provides easy-to-understand, step-by-step instructions along with screenshots to help build exciting SharePoint business solutions that extend the platform. By the end of this book the reader will be a SharePoint developer to be reckoned with. This book will dive into a diverse set of real-world scenarios to deliver sample business solutions that can serve as the foundation for your own solutions. This book draws from the author's extensive experience with SharePoint to leverage the platforms underlying services to provide solutions that can support Social Collaboration, Content and Document Management, as well as project collaboration. Each chapter represents a new business solution that builds on the overall platform to deliver more complex solutions and more advanced techniques. By the end of the book the reader will understand how to leverage the SharePoint platform to build their own business solutions.

Summary

This section leveraged both the Server and Client OMs to create both packaged and unpackaged solutions in order to deliver the overall business solution. The customizations are grouped as follows:

  • Browser-based configuration:

    • Provision a site collection: Create a new site collection used to hold our solution

    • Activate features: Activate the features needed to support our Intranet publishing solution

    • Selecting a page layout: Provides an overview of the available page layout options and details on how to change the page layout

    • Configuring an XML Web Part: Utilize the XML Web Part to call a web service and format the output for display

    • Create a List Instance: Provision new lists for storing content within our site collection

    • Content Query Web Part (CQWP): Configure the CQWP to display a roll up of the most recent news for display on our main splash page

  • Visual Studio 2010:

    • Creating a List Definition

    • Create a List Instance: Create an instance of our custom list

    • Create a custom Web Part: Create a custom Web Part to display new employees

    • User profiles: Used to store information about the system users and leveraged by the Employee Corner Web Part

    • Search API: Used to provide a list of new employees to the Employee Corner Web Part

  • SharePoint Designer 2010:

    • Master Page customization: Add new content and scripts to the Master Page so that they can be leveraged wherever the Master Page is applied

    • Page layout customization: Customize the page layout to add or configure controls

    • Page customization: Add new Web Parts or customize the Web Part zone properties

    • Dialog framework: Utilize the Client OM's ModelDialog methods to display standardized Ajax shadowboxes

These solutions provide examples of how to extend the out of the box features to build an effective Intranet site that excels at communicating important information, connecting people to build relationships, and expand on collaboration practices. In addition to implementing these solutions, they can also be adapted for other types of content to provide similar solutions.
