The role of SharePoint development in business
SharePoint development is playing an important role in data management for modern businesses styles. The Microsoft Office 365 platform offers a rich set of features and services that can be used to enhance business processes, increase productivity, and drive digital transformation.
With this in mind, we’ve decided to share some of our best practices and key recommendations on SharePoint development to help you develop a modern business-ready application that meets the needs of your business users.
Understanding SharePoint development
The first thing to understand is that SharePoint development has two major components:
SharePoint apps and custom applications.
SharePoint apps are built using JavaScript and HTML (in fact, they can be built using any modern language). These are called Web Parts and can be embedded into pages or web parts within the SharePoint platform.
Custom applications are built using a combination of server-side code and client-side code. The server-side code runs on the SharePoint server and connects to the database. Client-side code runs on the user’s device and communicates with the server-side code via AJAX calls.
This article focuses on developing SharePoint apps. The good news is that building SharePoint apps is easy and straightforward. However, there are some important things to keep in mind while doing this.
The role of SharePoint development companies
SharePoint development companies are constantly working to make SharePoint features more productive in our businesses. We at Al Rafay Consulting have been looking at ways to improve the User Experience of many SharePoint features and one that we have been working on is the ability for a user to add custom fields to their document libraries.
These custom fields can be used as metadata, as they are called, to help categorize documents. We found that most people do not use the standard metadata features and would much rather have these new custom fields. Customizing a Document Library If you are working with SharePoint 2007 or 2010, the process of customizing a document library is fairly easy.
