DevDays 2009 (PreConference DeepDive)

Today I visited the first day of the DevDays 2009 (PreConference DeepDive) in The Hague (Netherlands) and attended a session about SharePoint developing by Wouter van Vugt.

After the introduction and agenda, Wouter started with presenting some develop tools you can you use while developing and talked about the pro's and con's of every one of them.

Next was creating custom list templates and how to build your own entity picker controls using classes that are already provided inside the SharePoint object model.

After the lunchbreak he continued with a demo of how he created a complex fieldtype using a entity picker and a resultdialog. How he stored the selected value, which contained some technical data and how to split it in a displaytext and id before displaying in a list. Wouter demonstrated how he used the RenderPattern of the fieldtype to only display the displaytext and hide to technical stuf.

Last part of the session was about how he created his own SharePoint WCM Publishing site that is W3C Complaint. I found this a great demo and he gave me a lot of new idea's to work on.

Overall I had a very interesting day full of How To's, demo's and lots of code examples.
