Microsoft Sharepoint 2010 building solutions for SharePoint 2010. - Description based on print version record. - Includes index

This was a short and sweet chapter that served as a basic introduction to SharePoint 2010 and its usage. Note that so far we haven't dealt even a little bit into the developing side of SharePoint. You learned about the basic administration a developer needs to know, how SharePoint organizes its data, and how you would go about using a standard SharePoint site and a standard SharePoint list. Needless to say there's plenty more to learn. Starting in the next chapter I will start talking about the process of authoring custom code deployed to SharePoint installations as features and solutions. Hang tight! Things are about to become a whole lot more fun. 34 CHAPTER 3 The SharePoint 2010 Feature Solution Framework Reading Key: If you are familiar with SharePoint 2007, you will find this chapter interesting. So far within the first chapter of this book you installed and configured SharePoint. Since you are a techie and not a manager, you also dove into what SharePoint 2010 installation did to your machine behind the scenes. Subsequently, in the second chapter, you saw the wealth of features SharePoint 2010 provides out of the box.
