Webinar: Developing in SharePoint’s Middle Tier
Developing in SharePoint’s Middle Tier
Date: September 7, 2011
Time: 2:00 – 3:00 pm EDT
With all of the talk about moving SharePoint into “the cloud”, whether with Office365 or one of the other strong players in the marketplace, developers are having to rethink some of the methods they have used successfully in the past. Sandboxed solutions, while still very powerful, impose development limitations which can stymie traditional SharePoint developers. Additionally, SharePoint users want more from their applications, both in terms of functionality and the overall user experience. At the same time, CIOs and CTOs want to get more “bang for their buck”, spending less to accomplish more.
In this webinar, Microsoft MVPs, Marc Anderson and Dave Coleman will discuss the alternative development approach that Marc calls “Developing in SharePoint’s Middle Tier.” Development tools in the Middle Tier include XSL/XML, JavaScript/jQuery, Data View Web Parts (DVWPs), SharePoint’s SOAP (XML) Web Services, and so forth. Key development techniques will be demonstrated through the use of live demos and discussion.
Come ready to learn and discuss your own challenges in the Q&A session which will follow.
