The conference is going well and it’s good to catch up with some familiar faces such
as Angus Logan and Andrew Connell.
Basically a message that I’m getting out of the conference so far is that to do Development
in/for Sharepoint is to grab a collection of ‘helper tools’ (that each presenter has
built or partially built) to do a little bit along the way.
Collectively they do things like:
- Create Feature/Element XML of your current project getting ready for deployment.
- Packaging a VSNET Project into a Sharepoint Solution
- Easy Solution Deployment
- Visual Studio Extensions for Sharepoint 1.1 (should have a VSNET2008 version in June)
All in all there’s a bunch of little tools needed (some I mentioned in a previous
post) in and outside of VSNET. So I’d imagine it’s a bit of a ‘watch this space’
with respect to Microsoft and their ‘official toolset’ for developers.
Off to catch some more sessions and will report back soon…..
