MOSS is a platform, everybody knows it by now.

Lately I came to think that to be a "Total Sharepoint Consultant" one has to know so many things besides knowing Sharepoint (Install, Config, Dev, WebDev, Admin):

• Admin (Windows, SQL Server, AD, IIS, DNS, Firewalls, Security, SSO)
• Dev (.NET -VSTO, Office OMs like Excel, Outlook, Infopath)
• Web (ASP.NET, CSS, Javascript, Ajax, Silverlight)
• Tecnologies (RDBMS, Business Intelligence)
• Domain (Document/Records Management, Search)
• Other Products (Exchange, CRM) for integration

In' sure I forgot a few, but to be average knowledgeable on all these, 8-10 years experience are needed.

Wouldn't it be nice to have this side of Sharepoint "virtualized" ?

Decatec annuncia il lancio dell' "Ufficio Sviluppo Sharepoint" che puo' supportare clienti e partners nello sviluppo Sharepoint avanzato con .NET quale webparts, workflow, Infopath, Office VSTO, Sharepoint Web Services, estensioni al modello oggetti ed integrazione.

http://blah.winsmarts.com/2007-9-SharePoint_is_a_terrific_development_platform.aspx

My opinion

Sharepoint is not an easy development platform  for newcomers and for one-off projects, it takes a few to get into the "Sharepoint Way", but allows integration with all sort of development tools (source control, testing, even Monad).

Sharepoint IS the best application platform around - especially for content(document) enabled applications (Gartner calls them CEVAs - content enabled vertical applications), with lots of pre-built funcionality and a huge number of APIs to be reused.

Aaron has a nice post on how to create custom field types in for Sharepoint 2007 from Visual Studio

http://www.sharepointblogs.com/aaronrh/archive/2007/01/24/18191.aspx

Con Access 2007 potete creare dei siti di Sharepoint 2007 oppure avere l'applicativo client Access 2007 con il backend di Sharepoint 2007.

All' apertura ci sono diversi templates di cui poter usufruire.

Selezionando il checkbox si creano le liste su Sharepoint che fanno da tabelle per Access 2007 sul PC in locale.

Excellent post on http://blog.thekid.me.uk/2007/01/16/solution-development-with-moss-wss-v3/

Now, when using BDC for external datasources things can get even more complex.

sono ufficialmente disponibili gli SDK per Windows Sharepoint Services 3.0 e Microsoft Office Sharepoint Server 2007

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.
