SharePoint 2010 – Features

Author: Gopinath Devadass   20. July 2009

 

Microsoft released some  videos about SharePoint 2010 features, based on that I have written this article.

Improved User Interface

Ribbon Menu:            
SharePoint 2010 has the Ribbon UI in all the pages. Ribbon UI is introduced in Office 2007 and now Microsoft implemented the same concept in SharePoint 2010 to provide the rich and user friendly navigations. Microsoft posted the document for developers about creating and modifying the Ribbon Menu. If we don’t want the Ribbon UI we can use the old SharePoint navigation.

Dialogs:
SharePoint 2010 has the real dialog boxes to reduce the post back and display the options in other pages. The background is grayed out when the dialog box is popup.

Themes:            
Themes are improved in SharePoint 2010. Now we can preview our theme before accept it. Also we can create our themes in PowerPoint and upload & apply it for SharePoint site. I feel this is a very cool feature; any user can easily create their themes and use it for their sites.

Silverlight:
SharePoint 2010 has the Silverlight web part by default and it’s very simple to deploy the Silverlight applications. We can create our Silverlight application based on our need. After that just upload the .XAP file into any document library.

Now we need to add the Silverlight web part in the web part page, and we need to specify the path of .XAP file in web part tool pane. That’s it, now we can see our application in Silverlight web part.

Business Focus:

VISIO Integration:
If we are using the VISIO 2010, now we can publish the VISIO diagrams into SharePoint. The cool piece is, end users no need to have the license for VISIO.

Search:            
The FAST search mechanism is added into SharePoint 2010 to provide the better search experience. Search results also include the data from the other sources and business data.

SharePoint Workspace:            
SharePoint Workspace is an application bundled with Office 2010 suite. It enables the user to work with SharePoint data in Offline mode.

Business Connectivity Service:            
In SharePoint 2010 improved version of BDC is called as BCS. It enables the users to connect with LOB applications, Web Services and other external Databases.

Stay connected for more....

SharePoint 2010  Features  , intrigued me. I have recently started out to develop using Silverlight but  am realising it is a big learning curve.  My earlier experience is with mysql, php, most linux based tools and flash. The challenge of applying Silverlight to arrive at an acceptable visual design that functions speedily in most of the leading browsers, IE, Safari, Firefox and Chrome can be a large head ache which is taking me umpteen hours to overcome.  Interesting to read your views and the remarks in your web site on Silverlight.  I find the tutorial websites and Microsofts offering are strict and cover the identical items, dialog in blogs frequently references genuine ways to overcome issues that takes me through the learning curve more quickly.  Thank you for the note, it has assisted in a small way to get me through the migration.

i think the most popular feature is that it adds a new menu item to the Site Actions menu that attaches the debugger

Pay-per-click search engine marketing is relatively easy—with immediate results that can be measured and tweaked. Organic search engine optimization is a long, never-ending process that takes a lot of thought, discipline, and effort.

The article suggests that to help minimise the chances of your emails being classed as spam, it is worthwhile to check the HTML code is up to scratch (I’ ve always been keen on sending plain text email where possible, both to aid in beating spam traps and also ensure the content is readable by all, although HTML emails are obviously more attractive to some), and also where possible run your content through spam filters before sending and tweak the words accordingly.

A business (also called a company, enterprise or firm) is a legally recognized organization designed to provide goods and/or services to consumers.[1] Businesses are predominant in capitalist economies, most being privately owned and formed to earn profit that will increase the wealth of its owners and grow the business itself. The owners and operators of a business have as one of their main objectives the receipt or generation of a financial return in exchange for work and acceptance of risk. Notable exceptions include cooperative enterprises and state-owned enterprises. Businesses can also be formed not-for-profit or be state-owned.

I also have a blog and am really looking to alter around the theme, however am scared to death to mess with it for fear of the search engines punishing me. I am very new to all of this ...so i am just not positive exactly how to try to to it all yet. I'll just keep working on it one day at a time.
