Microsoft Sharepoint Web Part Development

The core components of Sharepoint are web parts and lists. Without web parts, sharepoint really would do nothing at all, data could never be accessed and lists could not be displayed.

Of course, packaged with Sharepoint are most of web-parts necessary for your organization to utilize the solution to its fullest, however, just like any software, your organization has requirements that don't come with the packaged version of the software. We here at Expert Assist have an answer to your requirements that Sharepoint does not support, we developing custom, signed, secure Sharepoint Web Parts that you can use in your portal server environment. In our experience, most web part development occurs because your organization needs to extend an existing application and the natural host for that application is within your intranet itself.

Some WebParts we have developed

• Communicate with a custom sharepoint list
• Extend a database
• Access files located outside the scope of sharepoint
• Dashboard an existing application
• Replace an existing access database
• Consume web services

AJAX
Slow, cumbersome, limited web applications are a thing of the past, "Asynchronous Javascript" has brought new life back into web applications by simplifying and extending the typical user interface to be more intuitive, much faster, and more reliable. A typical web pages lifecycle involves a request and a response, with Microsoft ASP.NET, this lifecycle might involve several postbacks which confuse the user and are often error prone. With AJAX, a web page can talk to a ASP.NET or any other Web Services compliant server, without postbacks, page refreshes, or multiple requests and responses. Currently we have implimentations of AJAX running on ASP.NET servers and Java based servers. If you are wondering if AJAX is right for you, ponder this, Google Maps and much of Google in general runs AJAX. Ask us about WebPart development using AJAX.
