One element of concentration, coming up as we do more and more with SharePoint, is the ability to present information to my various teams in the form of webparts. I thought, prior to studying a bit more, that the approach would be similar to that I use for distributed projects, specifically a call to a web-service that returns XML for the host application to process. I was wrong.
The proper approach appears to be CAML (Collaborative Application Markup Language) an XMLish query language specific to SharePoint. It appears at least that I can build the gathering query(s) into the gadget, greatly increasing speed and reliability. CAML also seems to have a set of tags designed to render the data.
So today the blog gets its first tag… CAML
