SharePoint development, also called Microsoft Office Web Apps Development, is a type of application development that is used to create a website or an application that integrates the features of SharePoint Server with other software. This software can be hosted on Microsoft’s own web server as well as on third-party servers.
SharePoint development is often used to develop and customize enterprise content management (ECM) solutions, document management systems, intranets, collaboration, business intelligence, and customer relationship management (CRM) systems.
SharePoint Development Overview
SharePoint development consists of three main steps. The first step involves the development of the actual website or application and the customization of the existing SharePoint website. This part of SharePoint development is referred to as custom development.
In the second step, the development team can extend the SharePoint functionality by using the available SharePoint objects such as lists, sites, libraries, etc. This part is called SharePoint extension development. Finally, the last step involves the deployment of the SharePoint solution to the target environment. This step is called deployment.
SharePoint Development Process
The process of developing a SharePoint solution includes the following three steps:
Step # 1: Custom Development In this step, the development team creates an application that is specific to SharePoint, and then they customize the existing SharePoint website.
Step # 2: SharePoint Extension Development In this step, the development team extends the SharePoint functionality by creating new objects or modifying existing ones.
Step # 3: Deployment In this step, the development team deploys their SharePoint solution to the target environment.
