SharePoint 2010 Tree of Life – Resource Roundup

eek! I stumbled upon this neat mind map of the SharePoint 2010 developer platform:

From the website:

The SharePoint 2010 Developer Platform wall poster shows a colorful view of SharePoint 2010 developer tools, community ecosystem, execution environment, Sharepoint Server 2010 workloads, and target application types.

Great learning resource for folks architecting/developing for SharePoint. For example:

• Under execution environment branch, you have the option to run SharePoint on Premise, Hosted and/or via SharePoint online.

• For application types, in SharePoint 2010, you have multiple targets (I’ve seen great demos using Visual Studio 2010).

Hey Erika, I want the 2010 version of this 2007 coolness. I said Tree of Life; but somebody said the poster looked like dandelions…oh well, perhaps it is the product’s team subtle way of getting folks to read the docs on Governance :)

Resource Round Up

• Start here for the easy to read, definitive post on SharePoint 2010 – what it is and what is new.
• Check out the video versions of the new features and what is new for Developers.
• My boss (!) is blogging, check his post on the very cool Free SharePoint 2010 Training (a must have!)
• Our Innovation Showcase is highlighting a David Chappell White Paper on SharePoint as a Developer Platform – always a good read.

Happy SharePoint!
