SharePoint Development with the CSOM and REST API
This course covers the fundamental use of two remote APIs that are new to SharePoint 2010, the Client Object Model (CSOM) and the REST API.
What you'll learn
The SharePoint 2010 Client Object Model is a set of three APIs (one for .NET managed code, one for Silverlight code, and one for use with JavaScript) that allow remote access to SharePoint. These object models are designed to be consistent with each other and to be similar to the SharePoint Server API. The overall goal being a reduced learning curve for developers who wish to build remote applications interacting with SharePoint. This course covers the fundamental uses of each of the three implementations of the Client Object Model along with a discussion of the motivation for the Client Object Model as a whole.
