Getting Started with SharePoint 2010 for Developers + New Office 2010 and SharePoint 2010 (Beta) Developer Centers
It’s always hard to stay away from blogging when there’s so many new things to share and talk about. Today at the SharePoint Developer Conference Keynote, Jeff Teper talked about SharePoint 2010 and Office 2010 features for developers and IT professionals. This is the time to start to blog more about the new release of Office and SharePoint and I am glad that we can all talk now!!!!
The SharePoint team blog has a good summary of key announcements made today at the conference, so in case you missed the keynote, go check out this blog.
Here’s a few more cool surprises from the MSDN Office and SharePoint Developer Center team.
Getting Started with SharePoint 2010
I had the opportunity to work closely with Paul Andrew, Martin Harwar, the MSDN team, and the SharePoint developer content team during the last few months on the new SharePoint 2010 Getting Started training on MSDN. We released this training a few minutes ago and you can all access it here:
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint/ee513147.aspx
The goal of this training is to show you how to get started with development for SharePoint 2010 using Visual Studio 2010.
This training provides a Silverlight navigation experience that allows you to navigate between ten different learning tracks or modules and you can even test your skills.
Each module includes a set of videos, hands-on labs manuals in C# and VB, and a set code samples/snippets that you can also find in Paul Andrew’s blog.
Here’s a list of all the different modules in this training:

Module 4: Accessing SharePoint 2010 Data and Objects with Server-Side APIs Accessing SharePoint data in server-side solutions is one of the most common tasks that you will perform as a SharePoint developer. SharePoint 2010 provides powerful server-side APIs that enable you to retrieve, add, edit, and delete SharePoint data programmatically. SharePoint 2010 also includes the new LINQ to SharePoint technology that enables you to work with SharePoint data efficiently and easily. In this module you will learn how to:
|
Module 5: Accessing SharePoint 2010 Data and Objects with Client-Side APIs SharePoint 2010 provides a new client object model that enables you to create SharePoint solutions that run remotely from the SharePoint server farm. For example, the client object model enables you to consume and manipulate SharePoint data in Windows Forms applications, Windows Presentation Framework applications, console applications, Microsoft Silverlight applications, and ASP.NET Web applications. In this module you will learn how to:

Module 6: Accessing External Data with Business Connectivity Services in SharePoint 2010 SharePoint 2010 provides a new set of technologies known as Business Connectivity Services for retrieving, editing, updating, and deleting data from external systems. This module provides an overview of Business Connectivity Services, and delves into development examples of using Business Connectivity Services data in custom SharePoint solutions. In this module you will learn how to:

Module 9: Sandboxed Solutions for Web Parts in SharePoint 2010 SharePoint 2010 provides a new sandbox environment that enables you to run user solutions without affecting the rest of the SharePoint farm.

In this module you will learn how to:
