Session OFC406: Windows SharePoint Services (version 3) Development 2: ASP.NET, Web Parts, Master Pages, Field Types, and More

Just attended a very interesting presentation on Windows SharePoint Services 3.0. The agenda included:

  • ASP.NET integration
  • Pages
  • Web Parts
  • Custom Field Types

The session was held by Ted Pattison from Gorilla Training, the slides and saple code are availible to download from his site. And I really recommend all SharePoint developers to check this out, if you don’t already know all about WSS 3.0.

Ted has also written an article on WSS that’s worth reading.
