Interview Question in web parts

Where can I get free web parts for MS Sharepoint Portal Server without knowing advanced programming

If you haven't gone there yet, I'd start with the SharePoint™ Products and Technologies Web Component Directory at http://www.microsoft.com/sharepoint/down... and then explore the free web parts directory at http://www.wssdemo.com/Pages/FilterLinks... . The SharePoint Customization Kit at http://www.sharepointcustomization.com/r... has downloadable templates, tools and web packages - free of charge. MSD2D, a popular resource for the Microsoft Exchange, SharePoint, .NET and server security communities at http://www.msd2d.com/Webparts_view_03.as... has a large directory of free and trial web parts in a host of categories, complete with peer comments and implementation discussions that can be a big help when you're just starting out with the SharePoint model. Registration is free. The SharePoint Resource Portal at http://portal.sharepointsolutions.com/We... has some great tips - especially for the non-programmer - for implementing and customizing web parts and is a great resource as a whole (be sure to navigate up to the home page and explore at will). Advis has some killer web parts, and even their best, and somewhat costly, web parts are available as free demo versions - many are even free of charge. And no list would be complete without giving props to Adam Macauley and all the people at CorasWorks, a hosting company and consultancy specializing in everything SharePoint. Adam's built a good many of the free web parts on the Microsoft component directory, and some of the best are traditionally available either free of charge or as full-featured demos in their sandbox - all from their site at http://www.corasworks.net/Products/Softw... . Take a look at their vertical market and industry-specific solutions to see how the various parts work together and what they, or similar components from other sources, can do for your user community. And this is just a start. I have a large web part catalog and resource directory that I share with my clients, but space and time limit how much can be shared in this forum (or at least this post). Feel free to msg me anytime at buck@sfsharepoint.info . And best of luck to you and your team with your own SharePoint rollout.

Programmer;s Interview: Would source code for a Grades Calculator be too junior for a employer to look at

I was told Thursday to bring source code for an interview on Monday. Basically, most of the code I have is web stuff (asp .net, SharePoint web parts, javascript) which would have nothing to do with the job and some of my older code in C++ is just horrible. I do have a grades calculator in C# but it just seems to junior, but it's the only piece of code I have that has a good OOP feel to it. I was planning to do a presentation and go through the entire SDLC of the code (including a flow chart of the input & output in Visio) but I keep thinking this is too junior. I'm sure the main goal of this was to see if I code a lot in my spare time but that's impossible with 2 kids at home. I should have asked them to give me some requirements for a program they would want to see but it's too late for all of that. Shoud I continue with the Grades Calculator presentation or do something else?

What;s the proper way to form manifest and dwp files for sharepoint services 3.0 webpart cab files

I'm writing web parts for sharepoint services 3.0 (NOT 2.0 and NOT office 2007 sharepoint server either). Our company is writing data driven webparts to be used in our sharepoint site, however... any web part i've tried to install isn't working (they work fine in asp.net 2.0 so i am suspecing my dwp and manifest files aren't correctly working. I have a DLL and a .config file...

I keep getting the error that "webpart does not inherit from Microsoft.Sharepoint.Controls.Webpart and could not be loaded" but according to the WSS 3.0 documentation asp.net 2.0 webparts CAN and SHOULD be complely compatible with wss3.0.

What advantages does sharepoint hosting have

In computing, the Microsoft SharePoint product from Microsoft offers a browser-based collaboration and document-management platform. It can be used to host web sites that access shared workspaces and documents, as well as specialized applications like wikis and blogs from a browser. SharePoint does not intend to replace an entire file server (it imposes, for example, a file-size limitation of 5 gigabytes). SharePoint functionality is exposed as web parts, such as a task list or discussion pane. These web parts are composed into web pages, which are then hosted in the SharePoint portal. SharePoint sites are actually ASP.NET 2.0 applications, which are served using IIS and use a SQL Server database as data storage backend.
All websites today currently run on either a Windows web server or a Linux-based server. The vast majority of websites run on a Linux-based platform as Linux has a strong reputation for security and web server performance. With standard (static) HTML-based websites, the web hosting platform doesn't make much difference. When it does make a difference, however, is when the website uses a dynamic scripting technology such as ASP (A Microsoft based technology), or PHP / PERL (Linux based technologies). A Windows-based hosting solution will run a Microsoft Windows server with IIS (Internet Information Server), and is necessary to run an ASP / ASP.NET scripted website. A Linux-based platform is typically used for PHP, Perl, and most other types of websites. Basically, unless your website uses ASP (pages ending in the .asp extention), Windows hosting is not neccessary.
Take a look at: http://bluehost-service.atspace.com . I’m sure it would work for you and fulfill all your requirements. They have a really great offer & I have used them for over 3 yrs now, and have never had a single problem with them. Their service is really great and easy to use.
