The primary audiences for this course are Web designers, administrators, and developers who use and work with Office SharePoint Server 2010, and want to learn how to customize SharePoint sites without writing code. Individuals in these job categories will benefit from this course as follows:
Web designers will understand the extent of customizations available using in-browser tools. They will also learn the advantages of using SharePoint Designer 2010 to further enhance SharePoint site customization such as creating master pages and multiple-step workflows, as well as leverage their existing design knowledge to achieve the desired look and feel throughout SharePoint sites.
Administrators will learn how SharePoint Designer 2010 can help with administrative tasks such as backing up and restoring sites to alternate locations, controlling access to SharePoint Designer 2010 and setting design level permissions for end users who work with SharePoint Designer 2010. Administrators will also understand the in-browser customization capabilities made available to end users depending on the permission settings for those users.
Developers will understand the alternatives to working with Visual Studio. They will also learn which customizations are achievable using in-browser tools and SharePoint Designer 2010. In addition, developers will learn how to create custom solutions using SharePoint Designer 2010. For example this course explores:
• Data Integration using Web Services
• Using External Content types to control external data
• Adding ASP.NET and SharePoint controls
• Developing and applying workflows to multiple sites
Note: Throughout this course we refer to code-free customizations. By code-free, we mean no complex programming languages such as .NET languages or code compilation. However, to help demonstrate the extensibility of functions within SharePoint Designer 2010, we do not exclude use of Cascading Style Sheet (CSS) scripting/class, Extensible Stylesheet Language (XSLT), Extensible Markup Language (XML), XML Path Language (XPath), or existing page code. For example, when discussing master pages, we use the SharePoint Designer 2010 code view to demonstrate alternate methods for manipulating and positioning various master page components.
