What’s new in Microsoft SharePoint?

WSS
WSS provides easy accessibility to the people, documents and information which will help further to make decisions. It also helps the employees to stay connected and achieve their goals.

MOSS
Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 relies on the Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 technology. It provides a framework for site administration and customization, lists and libraries.

How Microsoft SharePoint work as Visual Studio Add-in:

• Visual studio Add-in
• New SharePoint project type for VS
• Templates for main SharePoint entities
• Web Part, Site Definition, List Definition, List Instance
• WSP Solution package Editing
• F5 ‘Deploy/debug’ experience
• Code View intellisense for SharePoint XML
• "Solution Generator" Utility Program
• Convert existing SharePoint Designer-created site to site Definition

Develop on a Server
.Net developer uses the Windows XP and IIS server to develop the windows and web applications. We can develop a SharePoint site either on windows 2003 or windows 2003 R2 server, because SharePoint can’t be debugged remotely and most of developers don’t like to run windows server 2003 or are not used to it. So, either they can virtualize the server with VMWare or with Virtual PC 2007, but it requires large memory rather than the normal development machines. For MOSS application development you require memory in gigabytes while with WSS you require at least 768 megabytes this means for SharePoint development 3 GB ram is the ideal one.

Syscraft handles high-end Microsoft SharePoint based applications and can handle projects in the best possible manner. These web applications help in encourage the employees and in enhancing their performance.
