On completing this course delegates will be able to:

• Programme SharePoint using the object model
• Work with SharePoint lists and libraries using web services
• Build workflow solutions
• Add event handlers
• Build web parts
• Utilise user controls

Short Summary

This four day course enables .NET developers to transfer their skills from ASP.NET development to programming in a SharePoint environment.

Long Description

This fast-track four day course is a condensed version of the five day course. This was due to demand from developers who found it increasing difficult to secure five days off-site for courses. Although the duration of the course has been reduced this has not compromised course content.
This course focuses on programming SharePoint – both MOSS 2007 and WSS 3.0 – using Visual Studio 2008 with SharePoint extensions and .NET v 3.0.
All of the main developer’s building blocks are covered, and as the course progresses delegates will be use lab time to build a fully functional extranet site demonstrating the major features.
On course completion delegates receive all course material and related files in a pack to use for reference.
