10. Site Architecture
SPWeb entity is a collection of web pages and can be thought of as a sub‐site
SPSite is a collection of SPWebs
Site collections bridge logical architecture and information architecture
The design goals for site collections in the model are to satisfy requirements for URL design and to create logical divisions of content

11. List Fundamental data structure in SharePoint
Collection of items or rows and can be used to store application data
List and List Items are enabled via two core classes SPList and SPListItem
A variety of built-in list types can solve many business needs without requiring custom development

12. Content Types
Content Types encapsulate a data schema in a reusable manner
Once the content type is defined, it can be associated with lists
More than one content type can be associated with a list
Any change made to the content type will impact all lists associated to it
Content Types also support notion of inheritance
