I have been trying to find a book or web reference that gives me good understanding on how to build, test, and deploy ASP.NET pages, controls, and web parts to a SharePoint web site. All I have found so far is either draggy-droppy stuff or administration stuff.

Is SharePoint really flexible with ASP.NET when is comes to extending it? A series of getting started videos or tutorials would be ideal.

Thanks in advance!!

  • Despite what sales *says* the intent of SharePoint/MOSS is, the architectural intent is for it to be extended via draggy-droppy, widgets-type development. It is a *NIGHTMARE* to do deep, hardcore customizations/development against it. FYI :) – Rex M Feb 05 '09 at 01:06

It is just ASP.NET and is extenable to a certain limit. It all just depends on what you want to do.

I found the wrox books very usefull: Professional SharePoint 2007 Development Expert WSS 3.0 and MOSS 2007 Programming

Did you check out http://MSSharePointDeveloper.com yet?

Another good developer reference is Inside Windows SharePoint Services 3.0. This is Microsoft's recommended reading for the core WSS developer exam and is often seen as a bible for SharePoint development.

If you are going to be doing any Publishing with Sharepoint Andrew Connell's book Professional Sharepoint Content Management is a must read.

I've had remarkable luck with PilotHouse Consulting's SharePoint development DVD for getting a bunch of the basics for SharePoint development. I'm going to check out these other answers though.
