Packaging Solutions

Creating applications for deployment to a SharePoint environment is different from developing them for the desktop or a web site. This chapter will describe some of the technical details associated with creating, deploying, and maintaining solution packages in a production SharePoint environment. We will not attempt to provide all of the details a developer might need. This discussion is focused on the capabilities and limitations of solution packages in different environments. The goal is to provide the guidance needed to plan solutions and features so that they can be effectively managed.
