 Few products from Microsoft have stirred as much
excitement as SharePoint Portal Server 2001 (SPS). This powerful platform for
workgroup and enterprise portals changes the way people use Office and is
tightly integrated with Microsoft’s new release of Office XP. This course
explains what SharePoint Portal server is and how it works. It elaborates on the
underlying technologies and explores the benefits to end-users. Ultimately
students will be prepared to begin planning an SPS implementation with an
understanding of many topics including:
- Benefits of collaboration solutions
- SharePoint Portal Servers overall purpose and position in the
.NET Server family
- Integration with Office XP
- Document management
- Web Portal Framework
- Search
- Using SPS programmatically
Course Prerequisites: Background knowledge in application
development is significant advantage. However, students with little or
no programming knowledge will still benefit greatly by gaining an
understanding of how collaborative solutions are built on the SPS
platform.
