• Setting up your SharePoint Developer Environment

  11:15 AM Saturday   Room: 4302

  Now that you can install Microsoft SharePoint 2010 on the Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 operating systems, what is the best way to do it? There are many considerations from RAM and CPU to sample content and custom properties. One of the keys is PowerShell scripting to create sites, tear down sites, configure list schema, and clean up log files. In this session, we show you how easy it is to get SharePoint on your development machine, we share the requirements to get this done, we provide easy samples of scripts to set up and tear down your development environment, and we cover SharePoint developer options with Windows 7 virtualization and enterprise environments.

• Building Safe SharePoint Solutions

  3:30 PM Saturday   Room: 3404

  SharePoint is a rich development platform with a large community actively developing solutions. The challenge has always been the balance between creating solutions and deploying them in a way that you trust will not damage or impair the SharePoint farm. Learn how sandboxed solutions in SharePoint 2010 provide a framework for safe and rapid deployment of solutions with SP2010/Silverlight and how they can work well in BPOS solutions.. You’ll learn how farm administrators can monitor solutions and how site collection administrators install and manage solutions and features. You will also learn advanced techniques to safely work around some of the sandboxed solution’s limitations.
