Description
SharePoint is an incredibly powerful platform that can support a wide variety of business scenarios. In many cases it needs to be configured or extended in order to deliver fully featured business solutions.
While some books merely talk about the capabilities of SharePoint in general and leave you to figure out how they apply to your situation, this book takes a different approach. Each chapter provides easy-to-understand, step-by-step instructions along with screenshots to help build exciting SharePoint business solutions that extend the platform. By the end of this book the reader will be a SharePoint developer to be reckoned with.
This book will dive into a diverse set of real-world scenarios to deliver sample business solutions that can serve as the foundation for your own solutions. This book draws from the author's extensive experience with SharePoint to leverage the platforms underlying services to provide solutions that can support Social Collaboration, Content and Document Management, as well as project collaboration. Each chapter represents a new business solution that builds on the overall platform to deliver more complex solutions and more advanced techniques. By the end of the book the reader will understand how to leverage the SharePoint platform to build their own business solutions.

This book illustrates practical examples of solutions built on SharePoint's social features, content and document management, as well as day-to-day team collaboration. While the solutions in the book are useful on their own, they also illustrate best practices for solution design and implementation and educate the reader on the methods of working with core SharePoint components. The book begins with core SharePoint components such as features, layouts, sites, templates, etc., but by the time you're in the middle of the book, you're combining features and writing code and script to customize those features and tailor them to your business needs. Cover to cover, this book will help you to understand the evolution of a solution from start to finish, and teach you the best practices for those solutions along the way. This book is a great read whether you're a developer, administrator, or just looking to learn more about how to build business applications within SharePoint.

Many times SharePoint projects can be daunting. Where do I begin, what features do I use, what business goals do I need to achieve? We tend to read so much about SharePoint and prepare for it that when we come to actually kicking off a project that helpful guidance to get you past the blank site is much in need. This book provides just that. It lays out the hands on steps based on business cases that can be easily translated to your organization. Many times people are told to "go and play" without much "business need" guidance. This book provides both and will defiantly help you as with SharePoint skills as much as with organizational drive.

It is a chuck full of good usages of SharePoint 2010 in a business environment with detailed explanations how to achieve such usage.I tried some of the source code and it worked as expected. It also helped me get started on few subjects. Sometime it is not so obvious.This book is a good investment for SharePoint developers.

This book consists of 9 practical use cases that you may encounter in enterprise situations (see Table of Contents for list). Some of these are major projects - Intranet, ECM, Community, Site Searches & Project Management. The other projects are of lesser complexity but with significant uses. The book takes each use case and provides details with a practical solution (right down to the code level). The code can be downloaded from the Packt Publishing site - here [...] . The book's solutions can help jumpstart your enterprise project and help save time - applying one solution alone can more than save you the cost of this book. It can also serve as an example in documenting your project's solution.

Where can I send feedback about an Early Access title?
If you have any feedback about the product you're reading, or Early Access in general, then please fill out a contact form here and we'll make sure the feedback gets to the right team.
Can I download the code files for Early Access titles?
We try to ensure that all books in Early Access have code available to use, download, and fork on GitHub. This helps us be more agile in the development of the book, and helps keep the often changing code base of new versions and new technologies as up to date as possible. Unfortunately, however, there will be rare cases when it is not possible for us to have downloadable code samples available until publication.
When we publish the book, the code files will also be available to download from the Packt website.
How accurate is the publication date?
The publication date is as accurate as we can be at any point in the project. Unfortunately, delays can happen. Often those delays are out of our control, such as changes to the technology code base or delays in the tech release. We do our best to give you an accurate estimate of the publication date at any given time, and as more chapters are delivered, the more accurate the delivery date will become.
How will I know when new chapters are ready?
We'll let you know every time there has been an update to a course that you've bought in Early Access. You'll get an email to let you know there has been a new chapter, or a change to a previous chapter. The new chapters are automatically added to your account, so you can also check back there any time you're ready and download or read them online.
I am a Packt subscriber, do I get Early Access?
Yes, all Early Access content is fully available through your subscription. You will need to have a paid for or active trial subscription in order to access all titles.
How is Early Access delivered?
Early Access is currently only available as a PDF or through our online reader. As we make changes or add new chapters, the files in your Packt account will be updated so you can download them again or view them online immediately.
How do I buy Early Access content?
Early Access is a way of us getting our content to you quicker, but the method of buying the Early Access course is still the same. Just find the course you want to buy, go through the check-out steps, and you’ll get a confirmation email from us with information and a link to the relevant Early Access courses.
What is Early Access?
Keeping up to date with the latest technology is difficult; new versions, new frameworks, new techniques. This feature gives you a head-start to our content, as it's being created. With Early Access you'll receive each chapter as it's written, and get regular updates throughout the product's development, as well as the final course as soon as it's ready.We created Early Access as a means of giving you the information you need, as soon as it's available. As we go through the process of developing a course, 99% of it can be ready but we can't publish until that last 1% falls in to place. Early Access helps to unlock the potential of our content early, to help you start your learning when you need it most. You not only get access to every chapter as it's delivered, edited, and updated, but you'll also get the finalized, DRM-free product to download in any format you want when it's published. As a member of Packt, you'll also be eligible for our exclusive offers, including a free course every day, and discounts on new and popular titles.
