Using SharePoint as a Data Store geekSpeak
Have you ever thought about using SharePoint as a data repository for your application? Maybe you want to create a website using a custom front end, leveraging ASP.NET, Silverlight, Flash, or other technologies. Maybe your dev team is primarily composed of developers who have little to no SharePoint development experience. If that’s the case you want to tune in to my upcoming webcast on Wednesday discussing using SharePoint as a data store. We’ll talk about some pros and cons of this approach, as well as strategies and approaches to use when developing your solution(s). We will demonstrate using the API or web services depending on your scenario. Tips and tricks surrounding the approaches and strategies will also be discussed, but mostly, it will be an interactive type discussion surrounding the various approaches.
SharePoint provides so much out of the box, that using it in this way still can increase productivity and give your content managers smiles on their faces again. See how to use approval, versioning, galleries, security, and many of the SharePoint features in your custom code so that your application benefits from them all.
Hope to see you there!
