SharePoint Training - Course SyllabusCourse: Programming with SharePoint 2003 for .NET Developers (Level 300 - Advanced)
Introduction The goal of this 3 day, instructor-led course is to prepare students for developing advanced solutions for their organization using the SharePoint Development Model. This course is hands-on and makes extensive use of Virtual PCs. All labs are laid out in a manner that will allow students to easily apply them to their own SharePoint environment when they complete the course. Students will walk away with detailed instructions with screen shots so they can easily perform the task in their own environment.
This course is intended for: · .NET Developers who need to learn how to extend and customize SharePoint using its Development methodologies
6+ months experience customizing SharePoint 2003 (OR attendance at one of our other courses) PLUS 1 year or more Visual Studio .NET programming experience in C# or VB.NET
At Course Completion
Students will receive a comprehensive workbook, which will include all presentation materials and lab exercises. The lab exercises are step-by-step and fully documented in the student workbook.
Lab Environment & Laptop Requirements Students should bring a laptop computer running Windows XP Professional or Windows 2000 Professional. The laptop must contain a traditional, wired Ethernet network adapter (either internal or external). The course will require the student to run a Virtual PC on their laptop. The minimum laptop configuration is:
Each student will receive a trial copy of Microsoft Virtual PC to use to run the virtual machines for the labs. At the start of the class each student will be given a DVD and/or external USB 2.0 hard drive that contains the virtual machine images needed for the labs. The student will copy the images to his/her laptop before beginning the labs. Approximately 15 GB of free hard disk space will be required on the student’s laptop. Please Note: Your experience with the hands-on labs will be impacted greatly by the speed and RAM of your laptop. Please bring a laptop with at least the minimum requirements listed above. (Note: This Course Outline is subject to minor changes and refinements based on student feedback and instructor experience.) Module 1: Overview of the SharePoint Development Model This module will introduce to the participants the various developmental techniques and technologies available to extend SharePoint by taking advantage of the SharePoint’s Object Model, Web Services and FrontPage RPCs. Students will be guided by the instructor in exploring the top-level SharePoint assemblies available to be tapped into by developers. Also, the main top-level classes in the object model, and how they relate to SharePoint objects, will be discussed. Module 2: Building SharePoint Applications with ASP.NET This module will demonstrate the requirements to create ASP.NET applications to co-exist on a SharePoint server. Students will understand the “managed path” functionality as it relates to SharePoint. The instructor will explain how ASP.NET applications hosted on the SharePoint server can be used to access SharePoint’s Object Model. The top-level namespaces and the objects required to establish site context will be discussed. Since ASP.NET applications inherently do not have sufficient rights to alter the content in the content database, students will learn how to grant an ASP.NET application rights through the “Form Digest” control to be able to modify the content database data. Module 3: Building SharePoint Applications with Windows Forms The focus of this module will be on how to utilize Windows Forms to develop applications such as utilities to assist SharePoint administrators. The true power of Windows Forms tapping the SharePoint Object Model is realized when the Windows Forms application resides on the SharePoint server itself. SharePoint administrators are often requested to perform the following tasks:
Some of this functionality is available to administrators using SharePoint command-line tools such as spsbackup, stsadm and smigrate. However, the process tends to be somewhat manual and prone to error due to the nature of command-line applications. This module will demonstrate how a Windows Forms application can be developed to provide a visual front end to speed up performance of typical administrative tasks. Module 4: Programming Custom Web Parts SharePoint’s true power is realized when learning to develop Custom Web Parts. A web part provides functionality in an encapsulated format to be displayed on a web part page. Several Web Parts come pre-installed in SharePoint out-of-the-box. Many more can either be purchased or downloaded for free on the Internet. This module will focus on how to develop and deploy your own custom web parts to provide custom functionality. Students will learn how to use Visual Studio Web Part templates to speed up the process of developing these web parts. The instructor will demonstrate and explain the life cycle of a web part and how the developer can take advantage of the exposed events within the life cycle to develop custom functionality. Module 5: SharePoint Code Access Security .NET Code Access Security has provided developers a granular approach to managing code security. SharePoint also participates in Code Access Security. Students will learn about the new security permission classes that have been developed for SharePoint and how they can take advantage of these classes to manage permissions of assemblies. This module will also discuss the various options provided for managing security of assemblies in SharePoint and the ramifications of using each of these options. Module 6: Techniques for Programmatically Accessing Documents - Comparison of SharePoint Object Model, WebDav, Web Services and FrontPage RPCs Document Libraries and Document Management capabilities are at the core of SharePoint Portal Server 2003 and Windows SharePoint Services. In many deployments it is necessary to develop extensions to the out-of-the-box functionality in order to support specialized workflow, line-of-business requirements, etc. SharePoint document libraries and document management features are programmatically accessible in four different ways: SharePoint Object Model, Web Services, WebDAV and FrontPage RPCs. This module will:
Module 7: Programming Library Event Handlers This module will look into the existing functionality provided by the Document Library’s contextual menu (Check in, Check out, Copy, Delete etc) and show how to expose and extend the library’s event handlers. Students will learn how to associate event handlers to a library. Extending the library’s inherent functionality can enhance corporate processes since additional functionality can be inserted with each event that’s fired through the library’s contextual menu. Module 8: SharePoint Security Programming - Site Groups, Rights and Memberships SharePoint relies on Site Groups to manage security authorization. The Rights and Memberships provided by each Site Group can be managed through the browser. In this module, students will learn how to take advantage of SharePoint’s Object Model to manage these Site Groups, their Membership and Member Rights. Module 9: Working with SharePoint Web Services A multitude of Web Services (which wrap much of the SharePoint functionality provided by the Object Model) are exposed over the SOAP protocol. Web Services rely upon the XML standard to receive and respond to requests from any client or server machine. Many corporations decide to open up some of their SharePoint sites to their partners to facilitate collaboration. Using SharePoint’s Web Services APIs, corporations can provide controlled administration and reporting access to their partners. Partners can then add users to their sites and report on contents of a list. Module 10: Understanding SharePoint’s Database Structure SharePoint uses SQL Server as the backend for all of its content. User Profiles, Services and all List content is stored in the SQL databases created by SharePoint. In most cases, developers do not need to fully understand the structure of the databases since the Object Model handles the database communication. However, there are instances when a developer may need to access the databases directly from code. This module will demystify the structure of these databases and show the student how the data is organized in these databases. In addition, the student will learn the relationships among the data in the content database. |
