DOWNLOAD: Sharepoint Application Architecture & Development Guidance

image We have a site called the Sharepoint Guidance – Pattern’s & Practices Web site which helps Sharepoint Architects & Administrators understand the considerations that may need to be taken in order to develop applications on it on the Sharepoint platform on a broad scale within a corporate Intranet.  (Visit the site at http://www.codeplex.com/spg for more information)  Much of this informational guidance is packaged up into a semi-frequent package to help architects get started. 

This guidance helps architects and developers build SharePoint intranet applications. A reference implementation (RI) demonstrates solutions to common architectural, development and lifecycle management challenges.

This guidance discusses the following:

  • Architectural decisions about patterns, feature factoring and packaging.
  • Design tradeoffs for common decisions many developers encounter.
  • Implementation examples demonstrated in the RI and in the QuickStarts.
  • How to design for testability, create unit tests, and run continuous integration.
  • Set up of development, build, test, staging, and production environments.
  • Managing the application life cycle including upgrade.
  • Team-based intranet application development.

The following areas are not discussed in this version of the guidance:

  • Content-oriented sites that use Web content management
  • Internet and enterprise-scale SharePoint applications
  • Multilingual SharePoint applications
  • Scale or security testing of SharePoint applications
