SPTechCon Boston 2012 - Flying in the Cloud: New Ways to Develop for SharePointMarc D Anderson
With all of the talk about moving SharePoint into "the cloud," developers have to rethink some of the methods they have used successfully in the past. Sandboxed solutions, while still powerful, impose limitations which can stymie traditional SharePoint developers. To add to the challenge, today’s SharePoint users want more from their applications, both in terms of functionality and the overall user experience. At the same time, CIOs and CTOs want to get more "bang for their buck," spending less to accomplish more.
In this session, we will discuss the latest developments with the alternative development approach that the instructor calls the SharePoint's Middle Tier. This includes HTML, XSL/XML, JavaScript/jQuery, Data View Web Parts (DVWPs), SharePoint’s SOAP (XML) Web Services and more. The techniques are sometimes called "no code." Whatever you call them, they don't require any server side deployment and that makes them ideal for use with Office365 and even on premises enterprise deployments.
This document provides a summary of key concepts for new SharePoint developers. It discusses what functionality SharePoint provides out of the box, how the development tools and deployment process differ from a typical web application, important concepts like features and packages, and best practices around areas like disposing objects properly and avoiding direct web.config modifications. It also lists 10 things every SharePoint developer should know and how to avoid getting code rejected by an architecture group.
Chris O'Brien - Modern SharePoint development: techniques for moving code off...Chris O'Brien
This document discusses modern techniques for developing for SharePoint in a cloud-friendly way by moving code off SharePoint servers. It covers remote event receivers, PowerShell with CSOM, and Microsoft's App Model Samples. Remote event receivers allow executing code in response to events. PowerShell and CSOM is a powerful combination. The App Model Samples provide helper libraries and examples for common tasks like uploading files, provisioning sites and managing terms. While Microsoft's optimal approach is debated, these techniques allow customizations to be deployed to Office 365.
Introduction to SharePoint as a Development PlatformRonald Courville
This document provides an introduction to SharePoint as a development platform. It discusses the evolution of custom code capabilities in SharePoint from 2007 to 2013. Key points include:
- SharePoint can be used as an application platform through custom code that provides additional functionality and user interfaces beyond out of the box capabilities.
- Early versions of SharePoint supported farm solutions for more powerful custom code and sandbox solutions for simpler code with limited scope. SharePoint 2013 introduced app/add-ins that run code externally.
- The document demonstrates examples of custom code web parts, content editor web parts, and SharePoint app/add-ins. It discusses advantages of hosting custom code externally rather than on the SharePoint farm.
Microsoft SharePoint provides an extensible platform for .NET developers to create solutions using familiar tools and technologies. It offers many built-in features that developers can extend to build a variety of intranet and internet applications. SharePoint development utilizes common .NET tools and takes advantage of features like workflows, web parts, and lists. Developers must follow best practices like avoiding direct modification of the SharePoint schema and properly disposing of objects.
Custom Development in SharePoint – What are my options now?Talbott Crowell
Since Microsoft has released SharePoint 2013 with a whole new application development methodology, there has been some confusion and frustration in the community on what the best approach for customizing SharePoint for developers. In this session, we will look at the options, new and old, and discuss the pros and cons. We may even see some novel approaches you haven’t thought about yet.
This document discusses different types of SharePoint development. It begins by defining development as elaborating or working out details to bring something to a later stage. There are several types of SharePoint development discussed: out of the box development using the SharePoint interface without code; development using SharePoint Designer with some code; JavaScript/jQuery development; PowerShell scripting; and full custom development using Visual Studio/.NET. Each development type is compared in terms of capabilities, benefits, disadvantages, and required skills. The document aims to help understand the best development approach for different situations.

SharePoint can benefit a project management office (PMO) in 5 ways:
1) It provides tools for tracking projects using lists and document libraries.
2) It enables web-based collaboration for project teams using shared workspaces.
3) It supports standardized project planning using Microsoft Project and team sites.
4) It facilitates financial management and reporting of projects across Microsoft Project and customized dashboards.
5) It offers advanced portfolio management with Project Server for resource planning, forecasting, and project approval.
SharePoint can benefit a project management office (PMO) across six stages of maturity: tracking, collaboration, planning, management, and portfolio management. At lower stages, SharePoint supports basic project tracking using lists and libraries. At higher stages, it enables collaboration through team sites, centralized planning using Project Server 2010 and dashboards, and advanced portfolio management and resource optimization. The presentation provided examples of how SharePoint and Project Server map to different maturity levels and overall governance.
The document summarizes a recap presentation by Knowledge Management Associates (KMA) on their attendance at the SharePoint Conference 2011. KMA invested over $50,000 to send six people to the conference for a week. The presentation covered highlights from the conference on topics like Project Server 2010, adoption, business process automation, social computing, external websites, and business intelligence. It encouraged attendees to learn more through upcoming KMA events, webinars, and industry conferences.

[OReilly Superstream] Occupy the Space: A grassroots guide to engineering (an...Jason Yip
The typical problem in product engineering is not bad strategy, so much as “no strategy”. This leads to confusion, lack of motivation, and incoherent action. The next time you look for a strategy and find an empty space, instead of waiting for it to be filled, I will show you how to fill it in yourself. If you’re wrong, it forces a correction. If you’re right, it helps create focus. I’ll share how I’ve approached this in the past, both what works and lessons for what didn’t work so well.
"Scaling RAG Applications to serve millions of users", Kevin GoedeckeFwdays
How we managed to grow and scale a RAG application from zero to thousands of users in 7 months. Lessons from technical challenges around managing high load for LLMs, RAGs and Vector databases.
From Natural Language to Structured Solr Queries using LLMsSease
This talk draws on experimentation to enable AI applications with Solr. One important use case is to use AI for better accessibility and discoverability of the data: while User eXperience techniques, lexical search improvements, and data harmonization can take organizations to a good level of accessibility, a structural (or “cognitive” gap) remains between the data user needs and the data producer constraints.
That is where AI – and most importantly, Natural Language Processing and Large Language Model techniques – could make a difference. This natural language, conversational engine could facilitate access and usage of the data leveraging the semantics of any data source.
The objective of the presentation is to propose a technical approach and a way forward to achieve this goal.
The key concept is to enable users to express their search queries in natural language, which the LLM then enriches, interprets, and translates into structured queries based on the Solr index’s metadata.
This approach leverages the LLM’s ability to understand the nuances of natural language and the structure of documents within Apache Solr.
The LLM acts as an intermediary agent, offering a transparent experience to users automatically and potentially uncovering relevant documents that conventional search methods might overlook. The presentation will include the results of this experimental work, lessons learned, best practices, and the scope of future work that should improve the approach and make it production-ready.
