My new book, titled SharePoint 2010 Branding in Practice: a guide for web developers has been released today!
I’m personally very excited about this! For almost a year, since SharePoint 2010 has been released, I could not find a single resource to help traditional web developers bridge their skills and start working with SharePoint 2010.
Well, the wait is over …
This is not a designer book, but purely web and User Interface developer book.
Here are some of the topics covered in this book:
1.Setting up your development virtual machine – that’s right, we’ll take care of infrastructure challenges first.
2.Overview of SharePoint 2010 branding; What’s Where and Why? – this is a must to bridge your skills to SharePoint 2010 world.
3.Customizing SharePoint 2010 Collaboration Sites – here, we’ll actually transfer branding of a traditionally cut site (HTML, CSS etc) to SharePoint 2010.
4.Customizing SharePoint 2010 Publishing Sites
5.Customizing SharePoint 2010 Specialized Sites
6.Extending Search Look and Feel – particulars of branding SharePoint 2010 Search and its components.
8.Integrating Third-Party UI Components into SharePoint – here, we look at controls from Telerik and custom component integration.
9.Getting Started with and Branding SharePoint Publishing and Custom Pages
10.Changing the Look of SharePoint Forms – forms are heavily used in SharePoint 2010, well cover all about branding them.
11.Client-Side Interaction with External and Local Web Services – particulars of integrating with external services and SharePoint 2010.
12. Creating SharePoint 2010 Ribbon Components and Managing Existing Ribbon Elements – get handy samples on how to extend SharePoint 2010 ribbon.
… and if you’re familiar with my style, you know that there are plenty of samples and source code available to start from.
