Four GREAT session tracks and speaker lists.
Speaking at this conference and participating with some of the best SharePoint Architects in the field will be an experience, I am truly excited to present the following sessions.
Web Services and SOA in MOSS
An enterprise SharePoint developer must know what types of functionality the SharePoint object model provides, in addition a the developer should know what services are exposed through the SharePoint Web Services. Join us for this session and learn how to build sophisticated composite applications on top of the SharePoint platform using SharePoint Web Services and custom web services that demonstrate using the Windows SharePoint Services object model in addition to the Portal Server object model. In addition we'll discuss how MOSS fits into the enterprise SOA model and identify Shared Service components that use SOA tenants.
This session will cover the following key SharePoint Web Service development topics:
- Document Workspace Web Service
- Imaging Web Service
- List Web Service
- Meeting Workspace Web Service
- User Profiles Web Service
- Excel Services
- Web Parts Web Service
- Business Data Catalog Web Service
- Workflow web Service
Integrating the MOSS User Profile Store in the Enterprise
SharePoint provides a great infrastructure for building an application directory and profile store using Shared Services. In addition we can access the profile database via web services. Put them together, and you can create great things! We cover the concepts of working with profiles, importing from Active directory and supplementing the data via a custom service or third party import. We take a look at how to integrate this profile data with all of our enterprise applications. We also discuss some gotchas and best practices in working with the profiles database. This is a clear win as a developer; no longer do we have to depend on Active directory to store user profile data for our applications. See how powerful user profiles can be and what real world problems we can address with this centralized data store.
