Professional Sharepoint 2007 Web Content Management Development: Building Publishing Sites with Office Sharepoint Server 2007

This is the first book to focus on SharePoint Server as a robust platform for Web content. Written by two SharePoint MVPs, this book walks developers through creating a Web content management platform on Microsoft Office SharePoint Server (MOSS) 2007. It begins with an overview of the various features of MOSS, Web Content Management (WCM) fundamentals, and the services available on the Windows SharePoint Services (WSS) platform. It examines each aspect of a typical development project using the sample site throughout, which demonstrates key points, design elements, and development approaches. It addresses SharePoint site columns, content types, master pages, and page layouts; creating a minimal SharePoint site definition; and creating WSS solution packages with Visual Studio. It also covers field types and field controls, customizing the SharePoint authoring environment, and authentication and authorization.
