Building solutions in SharePoint isn’t simply about getting the functionality right based on the business requirements. Developers must think about the entire user experience. In this interactive class, we’ll discuss questions like: How should the user feel when they use this piece of functionality? Will they see it as saving them work or creating new work? How will it compare to what they see on the consumer Web? We’ll look at good and bad examples from SharePoint itself, as well as specific customizations.

5. SharePoint
Use SharePoint as an out-of-box application whenever
possible - We designed the new SharePoint UI to be
clean, simple and fast and work great out-of-box. We
encourage you not to modify it which could add
complexity, performance and upgradeability and to focus
your energy on working with users and groups to
understand how to use SharePoint to improve productivity
and collaboration and identifying and promoting best
practices in your organization.
