5 Stages of Learning SP Dev
•Denial – “They aren’t really going to make me learn this. They’ll forget all about it in the next few months and move onto something new.”•Anger – “This is SO stupid! I can’t believe they are making me learn this! It’s impossible!”•Bargaining – “Okay.. How about this, I’ll do support 24/7 for the rest of my life, just don’t make me learn this!”•Depression – “It’s hopeless. I’ll never learn this. I wonder how much it would cost to rent Eric Shupps by the hour?”•Acceptance – “Well, it looks like I have no choice… maybe it won’t be that bad? Hey! At least it will look good on my resume?”

SharePoint is a PLATFORM
“A ‘platform’ is a system that can be programmed and therefore customized by outside developers — users — and in that way, adapted to countless needs and niches that the platform’s original developers could not have possibly contemplated, much less had time to accommodate.”
- Marc Andreessen, Netscape

Terminology (Remember when a Web Application was an actual application?)
• Web Application– A virtual server that resides on an HTTP server but appears to the user as a separate
HTTP server. Several Web applications can reside on one computer, each capable of running its own programs and each having individualized access to input and peripheral devices. Each Web application can have its own domain name and IP address.
• Site Collection– A set of Web sites on a Web application that has the same owner and share
administration settings. Each site collection contains a top-level Web site and can contain one or more sites (or subsites). There can be multiple site collections on each Web application. A site collection can use only a single content database. Everything is now a site collection: a portal is a site collection where Home is the top-level Web site and the areas are sites (or subsites), a channel hierarchy is a site collection where the root channel is the top-level Web site and sub-channels are sites (or subsites).
• Site– A complete Web site stored in a named leaf of the top-level Web site.
• Subsite– A named subdirectory of the top-level Web site that is a complete Web site. Each subsite
can have independent administration, authoring, and browsing permissions from the top-level Web sites and other subsites.
• Top-Level Web Site– The top, root default site in a site collection. Every site collection has, at its root a top-
level Web site. Access to the top-level web site is provided supplying the URL of the site collection (like http://ServerURL or http://ServerURL/sites/SiteCollectionName) without specifying a page name or subsite.

Plan Your Logical Architecture & Taxonomy!!
• Where do you want to be in 2 years?• How many farms? sites?• Ensure you have the ability to expand• Take into account licensing costs• How are users going to connect? • ISA? F5? SSL? FBA?• Plan… Plan… Plan…

Governance
• What is this thing everyone talks about?• Get executive buy-in• Set up committee
– As few IT people as possible, but led by IT– Make sure decision makers from important
departments play key role
• Document policies• Determine correct level of control
– Too much will frustrate users– Too little will render sites unusable
• Enforce Policies

and other acronyms– Be familiar with SharePoint Object Model– Be familiar with SharePoint Web Services – Be able to debug– Be able to Package

SPD – A Beautiful Disaster
26
SharePoint Designer (SPD) • The Good
– Don’t have to develop on the server– SPD Workflows– Developing Branding– Data View Web Parts
• The Bad– SPD Workflows – Un-Ghosting
• The Ugly – Possible to break a site collection
• Be careful modifying default aspx files
– Migration & Restores• Disconnect Workflows
– Maintenance• Don’t tell your boss what you have to do
CONCLUSION - Don’t give End Users Access! Don’t connect to Production Server unless you fully understand the ramifications.

Dev… Rubber Meets The Road
• Dev on VM– Free VHD from Microsoft (time bombed)
• http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=67F93DCB-ADA8-4DB5-A47B-DF17E14B2C74&displaylang=en
– Build your own if possible• Windows Server 2003• SQL Server 2005• MOSS 2007 (Don’t do basic install!)• Office 2007 Professional• SharePoint Designer• Visual Studio 2008 & Source Safe• SDK’s etc..
27

Custom Development
• Web Part Development– Learn File Structure and XML files purpose
28
![Page 29: Sps Boston The Share Point Beast](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062705/556c3ef0d8b42a02258b58c0/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Development Tools… (There’s an App For that)
• Web Part Development cont.– STSDev from http://codeplex.com
• Creates structure and XML files for you – avoids typos in XML
• Great build options:

More Development Goodness
• Dev/QA Farm – Have One or Both!– Should be as identical to production as possible
• 80/20 Rule– If it doesn’t make sense to do in SharePoint DON’T DO IT in
SharePoint
• Packages? We don’t need no stinking Packages! Oh wait.. Yes we do…– Create Deployable Solutions wherever possible– If 50% of deployment is packages you are ahead of 90% of
the companies out there

Tips when asking for help
• What Version of SharePoint Do You Have?– WSS 3.0? Standard? Enterprise?
• What Development Limitations Do You Have?– Custom Code? 3rd Party Web Parts? SPD?– What is your skill level?
• Get Your Terminology Down!• For General “How To” Questions Be Detailed• For Help Fixing Issues
– What are the steps to reproduce the problem? – Provide Screen Shots – Did you check the logs?
• Be Patient!

OH COME ON!!

A Little Knowledge is a Dangerous Thing
• Site Collections– Make sure you want it to be a top level site; non-trivial to
move to sub-site– All content for site-collection & sub-sites in same content
database– All list data for every site in content database is in same
table– Site features must be activated on parent site to be
available to sub-sites
• Document Libraries– Avoid Sub-Folders unless structure is well defined– Use Metadata when possible– Be aware of Versioning!
41
![Page 42: Sps Boston The Share Point Beast](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062705/556c3ef0d8b42a02258b58c0/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Trying to make your life easier
• Don’t host non-SharePoint Sites on Farm• SSL (Secure Sockets Layer)
– Create Site Collection as SSL with self signed certificate if don’t have certificate yet
– Consider use wildcard cert – use of SAN (Subject Alternate Name) certificate will mean buying whole new certificate if you add servers
• Service Accounts– Basic install uses logged in user as service account– Should not be obvious– Locked out account will bring down farm
• Site Templates– Master Pages and Themes must exist on target site– 10mb Size Limit???
stsadm.exe -o setproperty -pn max-template-document-size -pv 500000

How the heck do I…
Create a blog/wiki/etc. sub-site under a Publishing Site??

stsadm.exe -o createweb -url http://path-to-publishing-site/subsite-name -sitetemplate <template name> -title <title of site>

Really???
• SQL Forms Based Authentication (FBA) Limitations– Roles in Audiences

Isn’t That Just Peachy!
• SQL Forms Based Authentication (FBA) Limitations cont.– Crawling content secured by FBA (extend for
Windows authentication and crawl that)– Office 2007 integration– Resolving names
– http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb977430.aspx#MOSSFBAPart3_Introduction
– PROFILE SYNCING!!!!!!!
• Limitations if using ISA
