Professional Microsoft SharePoint 2007 Development Using Microsoft Silverlight 2
Professional Microsoft SharePoint 2007 Development Using Microsoft Silverlight 2
The fact that Israel has now 3 (!) Regional Directors for SharePoint ( the only product that has reach this quantity ! ) Only show that :
- SharePoint is gaining popularity & widespread
- SharePoint is a very stable program which can be customized and developed upon very easily :)
On the other hand we’ve all seen the First Look: Office 14 for Web webcast from channel9 – which one of the new features is a Silverlight based edition of Office ;)
Point is, as you can do the math, the next SharePoint, just like BizTalk (*), will have great support for Silverlight built in from the “simple first level webpart” to the “high level of complete LOB Application”.
Now we all know about the Silverlight Blueprint for SharePoint (RTM), which was Nov 28 2008, but did we start diging into these stuff ? no ? there’s a complete set of samples, recently updated are:
- Hello World
- Slider Control
- Colleague Viewer
- Custom Navigation

Now that said, you should know of a new book - Professional Microsoft SharePoint 2007 Development Using Microsoft Silverlight 2 (Paperback), from wrox, this way you can cover two great technologies : SharePoint & Silverlight
If all of this is too far ahead for you, you can also go to MSSharePointDeveloper.com launched! - "Do Less. Get More. Develop on SharePoint." , Webcast Series: SharePoint for Developers , Moss 2007 and Designer Webcast How-To is growing & WSS 3.0 For the people for additional SharePoint development resources—including Silverlight and SharePoint labs and content
* The comparison to BizTalk is due to the fact that the “current” version of BizTalk, BizTalk 2009, does not host a WF Wrokflow as it does it’s “native/original” Orchestrations - That’s why we have Dublin :)
