4. Agenda What is this session all about?
Information Architecture / Site Structure
Moving from mockups and comps to designs
Implementing and customizing navigation
Aggregating and rolling up content
Structured SharePoint development
Performance considerations

5. Information Arch / Site Structure How to organize and plan your site
Planning the organization of site content (site taxonomy)
Group anonymous and secured resources separately
Enables easier and more effective page caching
Plan for variations
Implementing after the fact is very challenging
Plan for content deployment

6. Sample Site Structure
Ensure that the structure of a site groups like-secured objects together
Anonymous resources should be in one section
Protected resources should be in a different sections
Do not assume throwing all secured objects on one group will be performant

7. Implementing Custom Navigation
Site map navigation provider
Retrieves navigation structure of site from SharePoint
Site map data source
Applies filtering to site map provider data
Navigation control
Renders navigation data from site map data source
Publishing site navigation customizations
Manual sorting
Ad hoc links

8. Implementing Site UI from Design
demo
Implementing Site UI from Design

9. Aggregating and Rolling up Content
Common task in content-centric sites is to show listings of content throughout a site
Press releases
Articles
Products
Publishing sites include two useful Web Parts
Content query web part
Table of contents web part

10. Implementing and Customizing the Content Query Web Part
demo
Implementing and Customizing the Content Query Web Part

11. Structured SharePoint Development
Publishing site implementation options:
Customization
Customized approach using SharePoint Designer and the browser
Development
Uncustomized approach working at the file system level
Each has advantages and disadvantages

12. Typical Site Development
Infrastructure assets
Create site column and content types via browser
Layout assets
Create master pages and page layouts with SharePoint Designer 2007
Modify look and feel by adding CSS and images using SharePoint Designer 2007

13. "Big Picture" Challenges
How do you make this development process repeatable? How to automate it?
What about source control?
SharePoint has version control on lists and libraries
No version control for infrastructure assets
No version control for site pages and files
What about a true software development lifecycle process?
What about change management process?

14. SharePoint Customization
Advantages
Plenty of resources documenting the process
WYSIWYG development with SharePoint Designer 2007
Easily make changes in multiple environments
Disadvantages
Site columns and content types are not easily moved between environments
Challenging to package and deploy
New files and changes to existing files
Multiple environments

15. Challenges in Creating Publishing Sites
Publishing sites exacerbate the challenges
All projects require sharing assets
Between developers on project team
Between environments (Dev / QA / UAT / Prod)
How to move asset change to other environments?
Manually move infrastructure and layout assets
Backup / restore (*** bad bad bad option! ***)
Content deployment
Does not promote code reuse!

16. SharePoint Development
Advantages
Developers stay in Visual Studio
Layout files stay uncustomized on the server
Easy to package changes
Easier to utilize SCM and adhere to ALM
Disadvantages
SharePoint Features are tedious to build
No visual designer (lots of CAML)
Minimal debugging support
Provisioning files requires double development
Current tools do not promote this approach

17. Walkthrough on Structured SharePoint Site Development
demo
Walkthrough on Structured SharePoint Site Development

18. Performance Considerations
Understand how the SharePoint API works
Disposing objects
Accessing data and facilitating large lists
Enable and Tune Caching
Page Output, Object, BLOB Caching
Minimize the page payload
IIS HTTP Compression (static & dynamic)
