It’s here – the next issue of Understanding SharePoint Journal.
The topic this time is “Beginning SharePoint Development”. If you are an aspiring developer, or if you have a lot of experience as a developer on other platforms, this issue is for you.
The issue, spanning 128 pages, covers the following aspects of SharePoint development:
- Creating the development environment
- Overview of SharePoint from a developer’s perspective
- SharePoint development core concepts
- Data development in SharePoint
- Event handlers and workflows in SharePoint
- SharePoint web part development
- Development of visual elements
You’ll also get 21 videos lasting more than 3 hours and 15 minutes, walking you through the steps of the exercises and showing you some additional and useful tips and tricks.
And the best part: It’s still just $14.95.
I won’t hold you here no more, here is the site where you can read more about the issue and order:

Hi,
is there an error in the code on page 113?
Visual Studio gives an error about MenuItemTemplate could not be found when trying to add a CreateChildControl..
Audunms,
Make sure you include the using Microsoft.SharePoint.WebControls; statement at the top. MenuItemTemplate is located in that namespace.

Hi, can you tell me if this is suitable for *true* beginners, i.e. somebody with no development experience at all? I’ve come across so many “beginners” guides which assume a whole lot of prior knowledge!
Cheers

Just downloaded Issue 5 and really enjoyed it. It like to suggest another topic to include in subsequent issues on development. That is, how to create applications in SharePoint. Specifically I’d like to learn how to provide full fledged ASP.NET applications in SharePoint (e.g. using the SPGridView). I think this is called Custom Application Pages.
