Sharepoint Newbie

Hi there..



I have a SharePoint page my boss has asked me to write. It kind of looks like I might need to develop it starting with creating a small database that has a couple of relational tables, and then binding that data to something like an ASP.Net GridView object that may have a master/detail thing going on...



We started out just keyboarding data into a simple data list, however that may be too simplistic...ew may need to get our hands a little dirty here and go a bit deeper



Can I develop this in VS2005 or do I need to get Something else?



Are there tutorials on something like this?



Thanks!

This is a good start; why not learn from the people that wrote it?

I know there are a number of Sierra Hotel books out there on the subject, but am too lazy to Google right now (actually I'm out the door).

Good luck!

there is a start. There is also an online book. The best thing to do is install SPS 3.0 and leave everything default and try it out first.

What are you actually trying to get done?

I suppose the simplest way to explain it would be that we want to develop a small app in SharePoint to allow CRUDL functionality to a list of company wide applications, servers, OS's etc.

I'd ideally do this in ASP.Net but I think management wants it in a portal type environment like SharePoint for Security, Accessability, etc.

Thanks.

Load up sharepoint services on a VM ware and install it there and test it out. That is the best way to go about learning it. A document library sounds like it would get you to where you want to go.
