In fact, a major idea behind SharePoint comes from the digital dashboard announced by Microsoft in 1999 and consisting of a web part based application platform in which users can customize the application using web parts.

In this issue of Understanding SharePoint Journal, you will learn how to develop SharePoint web parts.

SharePoint Web Part Development

This eBook, spanning 76 pages, covers the following aspects of SharePoint web part development:

  • web part background
  • web part architecture
  • core web part development competencies
  • web part properties
  • web part connections
  • user interface development for web parts

Subtopics include:

  • web part definitions
  • building visual web parts in SharePoint 2007 and 2010
  • modifying web part layout in SharePoint Designer
  • building web part pages

Please note: This issue is SharePoint version agnostic. Examples are show using SharePoint 2010, but all code runs and all knowledge taught works great in SharePoint 2007 as well.

You can read more about SharePoint Web Part development on the issue page at http://www.sharepointwebpartdevelopment.com/ where you can also download a 20-page preview of the issue.

Custom field types is one of the most feared development scenarios for SharePoint developers. In the third issue, you will learn how to create these custom field types as well as what problems arise when trying to develop these features. You will also learn why custom field type properties work the way they do as well as workaround for what has become known as the custom field type property bug. As you will see, this is not really a bug, but rather a curious design.

In addition to custom field types, you will learn how to use WSPBuilder to create custom web parts for SharePoint, as well as how to create a custom application page for displaying filtered views of lists.

More information about the issue will be posted as it becomes available, but if you want to inside scoop as soon as possible, join the mailing list by filling out the form below:
