Patterns & Practices for Developers and Architects
Glenn Block, Technical Product Planner in the Microsoft Patterns & Practices group, has setup a survey and wants your feedback on pain points and need for guidance. While there is already plenty of content available for SharePoint developers, what the P&P group develops and publishes is the cream of the crop. Here's the group's charter:
Microsoft patterns & practices was created to meet the demands of architects and application developers seeking guidance on how to apply Microsoft’s array of products and technologies to common application development scenarios and technical challenges. Microsoft patterns & practices are Microsoft’s proven recommendations for how to design, develop, deploy, and operate architecturally sound application for the Microsoft platform.
The P&P group's new focus on creating deep and prescriptive guidance for SharePoint is further affirmation of SharePoint's market success as an application development platform.
