Silverlight Blueprint for SharePoint
Lately the topic that I’ve been asked about a lot by developers and customers is SharePoint. Ronan blogged a few weeks ago about an excellent site for SharePoint developers or those who are interested in learning more about developing with SharePoint. So in case you missed that, the link is here: http://www.microsoft.com/click/SharePointDeveloper/
Another resource that is definitely worth mentioning is the Silverlight Blueprint for SharePoint. This is a set of source code, screencast videos, Microsoft Visual Studio solutions and more available for free here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint/cc303301.aspx The Blueprint walks you through six main components:
A simple “hello, world” sample showing Silverlight in a Web part. A Silverlight slider control as a SharePoint custom field type. A navigation control. A Colleague Viewer that uses lookups in Active Directory by using Windows Communication Foundation. A Silverlight picture viewer from a SharePoint picture library. A visual how-to center, created in Silverlight and based on a SharePoint list, for viewing videos. It’s another great free resource for developers, so be sure to take advantage of all the free code and training.
