This SharePoint training course focuses on how to tailor SharePoint 2007 implementations using the .NET framework - including intensive hands-on labs that go beyond feature description.

In this survey course, you will explore the development opportunities with Microsoft's most recent release of SharePoint Products and Technologies. During the first half of the course, you'll focus on Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 (WSS) where you will learn how to develop fundamental WSS building blocks, such as features, application pages, site pages, Web Parts, custom list types, site columns, content types, and custom workflow programs. In the second half of the course, you'll focus on Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 (MOSS). You will learn how to assemble and configure business solutions by using and extending the portal and web content management features of MOSS, and you'll investigate other server-side services, such as the Business Data Catalog, Forms Services, Excel Services, and Report Center.
