WSS401: Inside Windows SharePoint Services 3.0
| Ted Pattison |
| Instructor-led Training with Hands-on Labs |
| Professional .NET Developers |
| 4 Days |
| This intensive 4-day course explores design and development techniques used when building business solutions with Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 (WSS). The lectures and lab exercises on the first day dive into the WSS object model, developing WSS features and creating solution packages to deploy your development efforts in a staging or production environment. The course covers advanced developer topics such as creating custom application pages, page templates, provision pages and site branding using Master Pages. You get hands-on experience writing and testing Web Parts, Content Types, event handlers, custom workflows and site definitions. Along the way, you will also learn how to write WSS event handlers that read, modify and generate Office 2007 documents using the Office Open XML File Formats as well as how to program security using the WSS object model to manage users, groups and permissions on sites, lists and document libraries. |
| Attendees should have professional development experience with Visual Studio 2005, the .NET framework and ASP.NET as well as familiarity with Microsoft Office products such as Word and Excel. It is also recommended (but not required) that attendees have a background with the previous version of Windows SharePoint Services V2 and have experience working directly with XML files in Visual Studio 2005. |
