Learn SharePoint 2010 in a two day Hands-On Seminar presented by Joe Homnick and other Microsoft Certified Trainers in SharePoint from Homnick Systems. We will supply you with a Virtual PC image and workbook. You can optionally, BYOL (bring your own laptop) to walk along with the instructor and/or take the materials with you for further lab work after the class.

What is a "Hands-On Seminar? This is a seminar format, pioneered by Homnick Systems in 2004, where the Instructor mostly uses demos to teach the attendee concepts originally presented in slide format. The attendee can approach this learning solution as a pure seminar without a laptop and then work on the courseware demos on their own time. Optionally, the attendee can "walk along" with the instructor on their own systems running a supplied VPC image. This "walk along" can be of varied involvement and should still be supplemented with lab work on their own time. Both approaches work very well in learning the concepts and the seminar attendees are usually evenly split on the approach they select.

Optional hands-on laptop system requirements to walk along with the instructor during demos and labs:

4GB of memory with X64 Virtualization Extensions running Windows 7.0 for Boot to VHD approach or Windows Server 2008 for Hyper-V approach.

Who Should Attend: Developers, Implementers, IT Pros and managers who want to learn about the new features found in SharePoint centered around customization and implementation.

Course Outline-SharePoint 2010 for the Developer/Implementer

1 – New Feature Overview -Customizations with the Web Interface, SharePoint Developer and Visual Studio 2010
SharePoint 2010 includes numerous new capabilities and features for developers/implementers, most of which are highlighted in this unit. SharePoint 2010 makes developing those solutions easier, quicker, and more flexible. Much of the work that the developer/implementer had to do in the past with earlier versions of SharePoint has been replaced with simple configuration of the SharePoint 2010 platform, use of Visual Studio 2010 and SharePoint Designer 2010 or with calls to the SharePoint API.

2-Content Management, Lists and Security
From a free form Wiki to a highly controlled intranet or internet site, learn about all of the new Web Content Management features in SharePoint 2010. This session will cover enhancements to the core authoring UI, publishing infrastructure, the content query webpart, and content deployment. Lists have new features such as large list support, field validation, joins and events. The new claims based security is also investigated.

3- Customizing the User Interface
The look and feel of SharePoint has radically changed from earlier versions of the product. In addition to being more accessible to the user it allows for improved extension points and fewer workarounds. The new user interface components that you can extend and build applications which include the fluent UI ribbon and an extensible dialog system.

4-Business Intelligence
There has been considerable investment in the Business Intelligence capabilities of SharePoint 2010. From new product capabilities like balanced scorecards, interactive dashboards, and line of business integration to improvements in Excel rendered content with Excel Services, improved and new capabilities for Self-Service information access, and creation of BI assets. In this session, we will cover the major components and identify the new capabilities.

5-Business Connectivity Services
In SharePoint 2010 Business Connectivity Services (BCS) enables integration with back end systems. Business Connectivity Services includes a set of presentation features, a connectivity framework and tooling within SPD and Visual Studio that enable developers, implementers and ITPros to connect to external data and services and to surface this data in SharePoint 2010 and Office 2010.This session will provide an overview of the BCS capabilities and usage in SharePoint 2010.

6-Workflow
In SharePoint 2010 you can associate workflows with a site so you need not associate a workflow instance with a specific item in a list. Site-level workflows are a powerful mechanism to create generic functionality using the power of Windows Workflow Foundation (WF). Workflow tools reviewed include SharePoint Designer 2010, Visual Studio 2010 and the new Visio 2010 integration.

7-Sandboxed Solutions
SharePoint 2010 adds a new deployment model for SharePoint called Sandboxed Solutions. It is a controlled solution packaging format that offers SharePoint Server Farm owners a way to easily mitigate risk that custom code will cause issues for them. It does this by restricting the API's that can be called and governing resources that can be used. Because of this Sandboxed Solutions provide a solution package that can be easily deployed to a shared server environment. This talk will describe what Sandboxed Solutions are, it will demonstrate how to create them with Visual Studio 2010 and how to deploy and monitor them on SharePoint farms.

8-LINQ to SharePoint
LINQ is a new data access paradigm which allows users to express SQL like syntax against a variety of data sources. LINQ can improve performance by allowing the back end data source to decide the best way to solve the query. SharePoint now fully supports LINQ for querying lists so that you can query information from the platform in a more condensed, easier to understand format.

9-Client Object Model
In SharePoint 2010 there are a number of object models that can be used by developers to access the server. The Client Object Model (Client OM) is a unified model which uses the same or similar programming concepts as the Server Object Model (Server OM). The Client OM can be accessed via web services, via a client (JavaScript) API, and via REST.
