Did you hate SSPs in SharePoint 2007?

Have you heard about the new Services Architecture in SharePoint 2010?

Did you attend Andrew Connells session at SPC09 and came away wondering why 1+1 was so complex?

Do you want to go to a dev session but by Wednesday lunchtime think a 400 deep dive is going to be too much?

Either way I have a great session lined up that will focus on the core parts of building a service application and discussion around when you should/shouldn’t approach it.  

DD114 – Building Service Application

Wednesday 21st April

11:45 am to 12:45 am

Developer Track

SharePoint 2010 has undergone a number of major improvements in the way the core services are architected. In this session we will explore some of these changes looking at the services provided with SharePoint, understand the reasons for the changes to the architecture and also the complexity that this can introduce. We will take a deep dive into the core framework and classes that enable developers to create custom service applications; Provide you with an understanding of how to create a new service application but most importantly when service applications are the right or wrong design choice. You should leave the session with an understanding of how the core service applications are designed, how to approach creating of your own services and also the knowledge to evaluate your own requirements and make informed decisions about when to and when not to create a service application
