Sharepoint pages cannot be async, just Web Parts

http://daniellarson.spaces.live.com/blog/cns!D3543C5837291E93!180.entry

Only AJAX/jQuery can be used

Can Sharepoint be molded into a SOA? IMHO, Sharepoint's web services already expose many services, and also workflows can be exposed as web services. Also, custom built workflow activities can be treated as mashup-able components (recently my company did build such a mashup/SOA  solution for a government agency)

Sharepoint can be really useful for Business Intelligence dashboards

Workflow for Sharepoint 2010 in Visio

Decatec lancia la formazione per Sharepoint 2010 con un nuovo corso.

Man mano che Sharepoint diventa sempre piu' un "gateway" a sistemi e applicazioni eterogenee (e quindi non Microsoft) la necessita' che spesso ci viene richiesta e' l'integrazione tra Sharepoint e il Single Sign ON (SSO) CAS (in Java), che e' uno dei servizi sistemistici piu' gettonati ultimamente.

L'integrazione del Single Sign On (SSO) di CAS con Sharepoint per se non e' supportata di default, c'e' comunque bisogno di un po' di sviluppo lato Sharepoint.

Nella parte 1 (Cosa e' Sharepoint 2007 - Parte 1 - WSS) ho elencato le funzionalita' base di Sharepoint della versione gratuita Windows Sharepoint Services (WSS 3.0).

Microsoft Offices Sharepoint Server (MOSS 2007) e' la versione "Enterprise" a pagamento che aggiunge molte funzionalita' avanzate sulle basi di Windows Sharepoint Services (WSS 3.0).

MOSS 2007 aggiunge seguenti funzionalita':

- CMS - modello di publishing avanzato con workflow per portali con grafiche piu' spinte (vedesi ferrari.com)

- Forms - nella versione Enterprise i moduli Infopath diventano forms XML server-side, quindi visibili anche a chi non ha Infopath installato in locale

- Enterprise Content Management (ECM) - MOSS contiene il modello (template) del "Record Center" per la gestione documentale avanzata con le policies che contengono audit e retention

- Search - MOSS ha un motore di ricerca molto avanzata rispetto a WSS (anche se WSS con il Search Server 2008 separato il gap non c'e' ), sopratutto per quanto riguarda la ricerca con il BDC

- Business Data Catalog (BDC) - E' un connettore dati che si puo' agganciare a sistemi eterogenei quali database, web services, SAP

- Audience : Le audiences sono una funzionalita' simile ad un gruppo di utenti per cui filtrare un set di contenuti (p.es al marketing vanno le news del mondo marketing)

- MySite: Sito personale che puo' essere generato in automatico per ogni utente di dominio

- Business Intelligence (BI) - MOSS mette a disposizione BI dashboards e KPI, da agganciare agli Analysis Services di SQL Server

- Excel Services - pubblicano fogli di calcolo di Excel 2007 incluse le funzioni scritte con le UDF di .NET

- Single Sign On (SSO) 

- Integrazione con Outlook (Exchange) : calendario, tasks, appuntamenti, inbox

In conclusione, se si va a vedere, Microsoft Offices Sharepoint Server (MOSS 2007) e' nient'altro che l'estensione ai Windows Sharepoint Services (WSS) che Microsoft ha sviluppato. Essendo Sharepoint fondamentalmente un applicazione ASP.NET, frallatro molto estensibile, e' possibile - e migliaia di aziende vendor e non solo l'hanno gia' fatto - estendere Sharepoint con altre funzionalita' sviluppando dei semplici moduli in modalita'  "Features".

Dopo tutto questi anni (Sharepoint e' nato nel 2001, siamo alla versione 3) ancora molti non sanno cos'è Sharepoint, a cosa serve e come funziona.

E' un software web based che fa un po' di tutto:

-intanto ci sono 2 versioni:

• Windows Sharepoint Services (WSS) versione 3 che e' completamente GRATUITA per chi dispone di un server Windows 2003 o superiore
• Microsoft Offices Sharepoint Server (MOSS 2007) e' la versione aziendale a pagamento che aggiunge molte funzionalita' avanzate

-a primo approccio sembra un CMS con i sui templates di siti,pagine,componenti(webparts) e liste, quindi ideale per siti/portali intranet, extranet e internet. portali

- si basa su concetti di liste web based - (simili a tabelle o griglie) che possono essere di tipo documenti (document library) che fanno da cartella-folder per file oppure liste dati - che via browser si possono creare, modificare, aggiungere colonne e caricare file e inserire dati

- molto oggetti sono riusabili - siti, liste, addirittura campi delle liste posso essere salavti come template-modello e riusati a piacere

- da una root di un sito si possono creare n sottositi (aziende grosse ne possono avere decine di migliaia) usando i vari template-modello

- e' personalizzabile tramite browser oppure Sharepoint Designer 2007 (fu Frontpage) che da quest'anno e' GRATUITO, quindi anche se programmazione di codice si possono fare tantisse cose

- ha il concetto di Web Parts, in cui una pagine contiene delle zone (visibile all 'utente) in cui si possono inserire degli oggetti - p.es calendario

- ad ogni oggetto - sito, lista, singolo file o riga di dati - si possono dare permessi specifici per tipo di utente (admin, scrittura(contributor), solo lettura)

- ci si puo' collegare e visualizzare anche database esterni

- ha il concetto di check-in/check-out per creare versioni di un documento e "approval" per impostare l'approvazione di documenti

- e' tutto impermeato su RSS e ci si puo' sottoscrivere ad alerts in cui arriva un amail p.es se viene caricato un documento nuovo

- e' molto integrato con Office (meglio se la 2007) e si possono sincronizzare tasks, calendario, contatti di Sharepoint, liste(con/senza RSS) con Outlook, esportare liste dati in Access e Excel, moduli Infopath

- contiene anche template con forum, wiki, blogs, gallery per foto e modulo sondaggi

- e' anche accessibile da cellulare (ogni pagina viene riprodotto nel formato per piccoli schermi)

Sperando cohe con questo post ho chiarito qualche dubbio su cos' è Sharepoint, a cosa serve e come funziona, la seconda parte del post dovrebbe estendersi anche alla versione a pagamento, Sharepoint Server (MOSS) 2007.

What is still missing in Sharepoint ? -

Time - Tracking - to do PSA: (Professional Services Automation) - time tracking, billing .... even a basic object would be fine -

Org Chart Wizard: most customers don't know how to structure a Sharepoint installation, most often they don' t have all the needed info in Active Directory. Therefore having some sort of wizard to create an org chart - will all business units, departments and "workgrups" which generates a structure within MOSS would be ideal, especially when done and validated by a HR person

Anything else?

Descrizione "Feature Stapling" : le "features" sono dei pacchetti di soluzioni deployate in Sharepoint (pensate un MSI/cab per Sharepoint) che l'amministratore puo' abilitare o disabilitare

Agganciando un timer alla "Feature" si puo' "fatturare" al cliente per l'uso. Secondo me qui se ne vedranno delle belle, p.es i primi X mesi gratis, poi .... tick tick

Source: Angus Logan's Portals Blog : Chargeback for all sites created using Feature Stapling… very feasible.

Sharepoint 2007 rispetto alla versione Sharepoint 2003  e' piu' facilmente customizzabile, avendo frallaltro anche rilasciato il codice di ASPMenu, il menu controllo di navigazione di WSS-MOSS 2007.

Since Sharepoint is getting huge wouldn't it be time to establish a Sharepoint Benchmarking Standard like the one for Exchange(MMB3).

Alla faccia di chi dice che Sharepoint-MOSS 2007 non e' scalabile

Alcuni posts sull' argomento fileserver vs Sharepoint:

http://blogs.msdn.com/sharepoint/archive/2007/01/02/is-the-file-server-dead.aspx

Sharepoint is such as useful tool, every company should install it to keep a tab on all the content floating around. Where is the pooper?

As ggod as Sharepoint is in itself it lacks some sort of configuration wizard to set up a company with as little effort as possible: So what should such a wizard do?

Create a Taxonomy, ie. organize things along company hierarchies, business units, departments, teams and cross working groups.

Wizard Steps:

Create Business Units sites

Create Departments sites

Create (Project) Team Sites within Departments/BU

Create Cross Company Teams/Working Groups

With such a simple (Web based Wizard) the setup would be a breeze and organizations deploying it would be most confortable.
