The topic of the next issue of Understanding SharePoint Journal has been circulating online for a couple of weeks already, so I just thought I’d brief you on some of the details here.
First, the issue will be an introduction to SharePoint development. The target audience will be existing developers, preferably with existing ASP.NET skills, looking to learn how to develop solutions for SharePoint.
In the issue, I will walk you through several of the core concepts and tasks of SharePoint development, such as setting up a development environment, creating features and solutions from scratch, using tools to speed up development time.
In addition, I’ll walk you through several common scenarios for SharePoint development, such as developing content types, list instances, list definitions, event receivers, web parts, and custom actions.
While not set in stone, here is the preliminary table of contents. Below that, you will find the exercises you’ll perform during the course of the issue.
