Ran a period of time Share Point development, but Share point for me is still a new thing, recall that at that time just started contact with Share, looking for information, data to find a lot, but still do not know how to do to do Share point development, has also searched a lot of articles on the Cnblog, but for me, the novice is still looking at the fog. So I started to write a series on Share point. This series will start with the basics, so that even a person who never knows the point of Share This series of readings also knows how to do share point development.

Hint: I am really share point novice (here is not humble), so there may be many deficiencies in the article, I hope share point of Daniel can correct, I will continue to update.

This article mainly receives how to design and create own share point Site

For example, if your site is for a group or to manage a small project, you can choose a simple custom site, But if a site is used for a company that is thousands of people, and if you have a large number of visits every day, you can choose an advanced customized site, perhaps in this case, Share Point Server 2007 itself provides the functionality can not be achieved, then you need additional development capabilities, We can use other development tools, such as Visual Studio 2005.

Resources include the Software section (Microsoft Office SharePoint Designer 2007 and Microsoft Visual Studio 2005) and the hardware section. Simple sites don't require a lot of extra resources , the Share point itself provides the added Web Parts, the custom View list, and the image on the home page.
