We have been working with SharePoint technology since the beta release of SharePoint Portal Server 2001 and have seen the product evolve to SharePoint Products and Technologies 2003. Because we were awarded with the SharePoint Most Valuable Professional title, we were one of the first to work with that release, and we consider it to be a major improvement. With the passing of time, new and interesting topics related to SharePoint products and technologies have arisen, and Pro SharePoint 2003 Development Techniques is the first to cover them. This book discusses the landscape of SharePoint 2003 development today and beyond, integrating all of the new technologies that have already become or will soon become mainstream. This book takes current technologies and applies them in a SharePoint context. This includes ASP.NET 2.0, SQL Server 2005, Reporting Services, InfoPath, and BizTalk 2006 support for SharePoint. Also covered is software fac- tories, a new software development paradigm that is gaining ground rapidly, and the DSL tools for Visual Studio .NET 2005. This book explains how to do the popular Ajax-style web development within web parts and discusses how to use Atlas in SharePoint environments. This book also addresses how to develop SharePoint workflow applications with Windows Workflow Foundation technology and contains a very detailed discussion of SharePoint impersonation, elevation, and delegation techniques. You’ll also learn about domain-specific languages, the guidance automation toolkit, Web Services for Remote Portlets, and more. We are glad you are interested in this book. We will consider the book to be successful if the contemporary development techniques presented here are able to assist you in your daily activities as a SharePoint developer. Enjoy the read!
