Building custom web parts has always been one of the best ways to extend SharePoint functionality and create applications based on the SharePoint platform. This presentation will review the steps required to build a web part for SharePoint 2007, then outline the improved tools and simplified processes for building web parts in SharePoint 2010. Along the way we will highlight how Visual Studio 2010 has become the best tool for creating custom SharePoint 2010 solutions. No experience building custom solutions in SharePoint is required to understand this presentation, but a basic familiarity with SharePoint, Visual Studio and .Net is recommended.
