Why Use SharePoint 2010?

• Rapidly Respond to Business Needs: SharePoint 2010 gives you the best of both worlds: out-of-the-box applications and a platform for customized solutions. You can use the features of SharePoint 2010 just as they are or quickly create secure and easy-to-use solutions for specific business needs.

Benefits for Developers

• Be More Productive: Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 gives you a complete set of project templates, designers, and packaging tools for SharePoint 2010 solutions. Plus, you can install SharePoint 2010 on Microsoft Windows 7, making it easier than ever to develop SharePoint applications.

• Fully Use Platform Services: SharePoint 2010 helps you build powerful business solutions using new features such as Language Integrated Query (LINQ) to SharePoint, OData Services, and the Client Object Model. You also can use Business Connectivity Services to pull external data, complete with read/write capability, into SharePoint 2010.
