Microsoft has published a white paper, which introduces the new ALM features in SharePoint 2010 and Visual Studio 2010 (currently only in German). I have written the last part of the paper, which describes how Visual Studio 2010 can help to make development in SharePoint 2010 better and increase quality and transparency in SharePoint development projects.

Announcing: Download SPSF SharePoint Software Factory at Codeplex

Torsten Mandelkow — Fri, 12 Feb 2010 12:48:35 +0000

Me and my team at Steria Mummert Consulting in Germany are specialized in establishing SharePoint development processes in companies, starting with SharePoint requirements engineering, architecture, SharePoint code analysis, SharePoint testing and deployment processes. To automate this process we have developed several tools.

One of these tools is SPSF SharePoint Software Factory. This tool is an extension for Microsoft Visual Studio and helps developers to create SharePoint code much more faster and easier.

This tool can now be found as a project at Codeplex.com. You can download the tool and use it for your SharePoint projects. Source code is available.

Event with Microsoft: SharePoint Developer Days 2010

Torsten Mandelkow — Fri, 05 Feb 2010 12:39:50 +0000

Together with Microsoft Germany I had 3 sessions in January 2010 with the topic “SharePoint Development with Visual Studio Team System”. Each day we were in a different city (Munich, Cologne, Bad Homburg) and introduced SharePoint 2010, Visual Studio 2010 and my topic SPALM to invited customers and developers.

In my session I presented the methods and tools which we use at Steria Mummert to make development for SharePoint much more faster and easier.

The feedback to these session was great and all sessions were overbooked. So Microsoft and I will have 4 new sessions between February and April 2010.

To address the general problems of application development with SharePoint and the possible solution with SPALM I had the chance to write an article on CIO.de. The article describes the problems from the point of view of a project manager or CIO (with less technical insights in SharePoint).
