New Technical Article on SharePoint Architecture (Ricky Kirkham)
MSDN has published a long technical article of mine on SharePoint Architecture. I should actually say “architectures” because, as I point out in the article, SharePoint has a lot more than one architecture. I cannot claim that it will tell you everything that you need to know about SharePoint’s plumbing, but it will tell you a lot.
It has 15,000 words and 11 diagrams on the following subjects:
- What Is SharePoint?
- SharePoint Development Platform Stack
- SharePoint as an ASP.NET-IIS Application
- SharePoint Configuration Stack
- SharePoint Deployment Models
- Process and Execution Trust Model
- Pages, Parsing, and Safe Mode
- Data Model, Data Management, and Query System
- Services and the Service Application Framework
- Site Definitions and Web Templates
- SharePoint Security
- Server Object Model in SharePoint
- Client Object Models in SharePoint
- Workflows in SharePoint
