Microsoft Office Sharepoint Server (MOSS) For Developers

Product Description

This course extends the course WSS3DEV (Windows Share Point Services v 3 for Developers). Microsoft Office Share Point Server extends WSS, & this course introduces developers to the additional features available in MOSS, & also to some of the more advanced features of WSS. Knowledge of the material covered in WSS3DEV is a mandatory prerequisite for this course.

The course will begin with a very brief recap of Share Point development tools & techniques. Following on from that, you will customise the Enterprise Content Management features of MOSS, firstly by creating new page layouts, & then by designing portal templates & customising the page editing tools.

The course discusses MOSS functionality such as Forms Services, Excel Services & the Business Data Catalog. You will learn to use Info Path forms in workflows, & to create Info Path forms which pass data between Info Path & Share Point. You will investigate Excel Services as a way of publishing workbooks for use in a web browser, & also as a way of making Excel data accessible programmatically to other applications. You will create applications in the BDC, & access business data programmatically.

The search functionality of MOSS greatly extends that of WSS, & in this course you will learn how to configure & customise MOSS search, including configuration of the new Federated Search feature.

The " My Site" pages of MOSS allow users to create public & private profiles, & this course will discuss how to customise & manage this feature.

You will also learn to create external applications which plug in to Share Point: a document converter, an extension to the administration tool (stsadm) & a timer job.
