SharePoint 2010 Development Class Details
The SharePoint Development Course shows how to use Visual Studio to make necessary customizations and application integration. One needs to be familiar with .NET technologies to be successful in this course. We cover important fundamental and administration topics before going into development because we believe that to be able to make proper customizations, the developer needs to understand SharePoint inside and out. We focus on cost effective SharePoint development because everything can be customized but not everything should be. Also, in many cases, customizations should be done using Designer and InfoPath instead of Visual Studio. (class dates )
