Technical Requirements for the MOSS Developer

Friday, February 27, 2009

Hi frnds,
The Technical requirements for the Moss Developer are mentioned Below


1)Knowledge on Microsoft Technologies Like MOSS 2007/WSS, .Net(asp.net,C#.net) ,MSOffice(Sharepoint Desginer,infopath)

why ASP.net?

In MOSS we use Master pages and page layouts These are dictate the overall look and feel of your SharePoint site. Master pages contain controls that are shared across multiple page layouts, such as navigation, search, or language-preference for multilingual sites. Page layouts contain field controls and Web Parts. here comes the role of Asp.net ,in asp.net we used to develop the master pages.if we have the knowledge on the master pages creation it would be added advantage for the MOSS Development.

Why C#.Net?

In MOSS We Use Webparts.

what is Webpart:


  • Web Parts are one of the core ASP.NET technologies used by SharePoint to
    present dynamic information to users.
  • They are the most common customization created for SharePoint.
  • A Web Part is a reusable component which exists on a Web Part Page and can present any type of web-based information.

By using the C# Language we can Develop the Custom Webparts.How to develope the Webpart i will give u the clear Picture in "Development of Webparts" post.

Why MSoffice :

In MS office there are So many Tools like Word,excel,PowerPoint ,sharepoint designer ,infopath etc.

Sharepoint Designer:

  • Microsoft SharePoint Designer (full name Microsoft Office SharePoint Designer) is a WYSIWYG HTML editor and general web Design program from Microsoft, replacing Microsoft Office FrontPage, and part of the SharePoint family of products.
  • It is part of the Microsoft Office 2007 family but not included in any of the Office 2007 suites. The name change, from FrontPage, reflects the emphasis on designing and customizing SharePoint websites. SharePoint Designer shares its HTML rendering engine with Microsoft Expression Web.

Infopath:

  • The most common usage of InfoPath is to integrate it with Microsoft SharePoint technology using InfoPath Form Services (included in the enterprise commercial version of MOSS or as the separate Microsoft Office Forms Server 2007 product.
  • In SharePoint, a "Form Library" can be created and developed by using InfoPath. InfoPath fields will be exported as "Columns" in the library and can be directly read in SharePoint or be used as part of web services results in workflow development.

2)Databases Like Sql Server 2005/2008

3)Active Directory:

what is Active Directory?

Active Directory is a directory service used to store information about the network resources across a Domine and also centralize the network.

Role of Active Directory in Sharepoint?

The sharepoint portal or site is to integrate with the Active Directory because the users present in the Domine will get the permissions to access the Portal or Site.

History Of Sharepoint

The first version, called SharePoint Team Services (usually abbreviated to STS), was released at the same time as Office XP and was available as part of Microsoft FrontPage. STS could run on Windows 2000 Server or Windows XP.
Windows SharePoint Services 2.0 was marketed as an upgrade to SharePoint Team Services, but was in fact a completely redesigned application[
citation needed]. SharePoint Team Services stored documents in ordinary file storage, keeping document metadata in a database. Windows SharePoint Services 2.0 on the other hand, stores both the document and the metadata in a database, and supports basic document versioning for items in Document Libraries. Service Pack 2 for WSS added support for SQL Server 2005 and the use of the .NET Framework 2.0.
Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 was released on November 16, 2006 as part of the
Microsoft Office 2007 suite and Windows Server 2008. WSS 3.0 is built using .NET Framework 2.0 and .NET Framework 3.0 Windows Workflow Foundation to add workflow capabilities to the basic suite. By the beginning of 2007 WSS 3.0 was made available to the public. Windows 2000 Server is not supported by WSS 3.0, nor is SQL Server 2000.

Sharepoint

SharePoint is an enterprise information portal, from Microsoft, that can be configured to run Intranet, Extranet and Internet sites. Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 allows people, teams and expertise to connect and collaborate. A SharePoint enterprise portal is composed of both SharePoint Portal and Windows SharePoint Services, with SharePoint being built upon WSS. WSS is typically used by small teams, projects and companies. SharePoint Server is designed for individuals, teams and projects within a medium to large company wide enterprise portal.
