Professional Office Business Application Development PDF Download

Market_Desc: Primary audience: Professional developers who work primarily with .NET or SharePoint technologies and have some familiarity with the Office system. Secondary Audience: Software Development Managers who are looking to understand the OBA model and plan for adopting this application model. It is also for System Engineers who are responsible for configuring SharePoint and need to account for custom content types and BDC integration. Special Features: · Hot Topic in a Quickly Growing Market: Office Business Application development relies heavily on SharePoint 2007, which is the fastest growing server product in Microsoft s history, and OBA development is new and is continuing to grow as large companies are further investigating its importance.· Great Approach to a Complex Topic: This book provides insight into how organizations can leverage the Office client - something that has not been well supported in Microsoft technology before. It brings all of the important details of design, deployment and development together through a common scenario, and will provide an OBA-in-a-Box sample that users can pull down from the web and use for a variety of OBA-specific tasks.· Top Author Candidates: Steve Fox and Bill Sheldon are both well-known influencers in the OBA community, and they will be presenting sessions on OBAs at MS TechEd, DevConnections, TechReady 7, VSLive!, and Oracle OpenWorld - to name just a few. About The Book: Office Business Application development is all about leveraging the Office environment and SharePoint to build solutions that integrate large-scale systems such as SAP and PeopleSoft into environments that are familiar to the information worker. The result becomes the integration of key business data, such as Sales data or Finance data, into Office tools that we use every day. That said, this book is about showing developers how they leverage tools like Visual Studio 2008 and Microsoft Office SharePoint Server (MOSS) 2007 to bridge the gap between the business data and the people who need it the most. Specifically using a sales forecast scenario, this book will take the reader on an in-depth journey to learn why these solutions are necessary and how to build and deploy all of the specific components of an end-to-end OBA.
