If you've never seen them in action you're in for a treat. Developers can build Web Parts as ASP.NET custom controls. Administrators can install Web Parts on any site based on Windows SharePoint Services. Users can add Web Parts to pages by dragging and dropping in a browser, and they can personalize them by setting properties. Web Parts can connect to other Web Parts using a standard interface. This session will walk you through the process of designing, building and deploying SharePoint Web Parts using Visual Studio 2005. VS 2005 has some exciting new features that make Web Part development easier and more powerful. The session will include a hands-on demonstration that will provide several real examples of SharePoint Web Parts and will offer a framework for jump starting your VS 2005 Web Part development expertise. Mauro Cardarelli is a Managing Partner at Jornata, a Boston-based Information Technology consulting services company. His responsibilities include technology evangelism, architecture and software development. He holds MCDBA and MCSD.NET certifications.
