Vad du kan vänta dig som SharePoint-utvecklare...

Funderar du på att börja med SharePoint? Här är en kul (och sann) artikel av Eric Shupps [MVP] om vad det innebär att bli SharePoint-utvecklare:

SharePoint development is not about wizards and IDE's – it's about raw code, XML (CAML), and a generous helping of elbow grease ...

... for VB/C# and ASP.NET developers, transitioning to SharePoint is like catching a bucket of ice water with your face on a chilly winter morning.

Let's face it – Microsoft has done a really good job over the last decade making repetitive programming tasks virtually extinct. Control libraries, project templates, database connections, event wireups – all the things which get done for you in Visual Studio with a few clicks in a wizard are suddenly missing in SharePoint and that causes a lot of heartburn for newbies.

Whether that's good or bad is relative; I would argue that knowing how to do things by hand makes you a better programmer in the long run but many people don't see it that way. Regardless, that's how it is (at least for the time being), so get used to it.
