Sharepoint

@scottalanmiller Therein lies the problem, though, right? Even if it is hosted, you still have to be able to develop for it unless you are just "using it"...right?
(I just saw your next comment pop up)

My last employer used a product that had some bits based on sharepoint. It took their expert on-site almost an entire week to get the Sharepoint instance up and running and functioning with their product... almost a whole week
I'll let you know how I get on then. I am the opposite of "expert"
I'm running Microsoft Dynamics NAV and also a third-party product called Zetadocs which manages the link between NAV and Sharepoint. It's taken me about an hour so far. -
OK. All pre-requisites now installed. Time to install the software itself.

I'd guess that 90% of SP users don't develop for it. That's certainly no requirement. And in fact, rarely do I recommend that because that creates a level of lock-in that I would no feel comfortable with. Especially in this day and age where developing against it is not nearly as powerful as what is commonly used.

We don't "develop" specifically for share point nor, our Dyanmics/GP packages. We prefer to use them as vanallia (besides design) as possible. Customization's just break upgrades and sometimes even features. We have some scripts but they are all just aspx code nothing special to sharepoint about it aside from it displaying their.

I see that Microsoft is killing off Sharepoint Foundation, so there will no longer be a free version.

That's mostly surprising. I did not realize that they were doing that. Is it not coming out in the 2010 version?
I'm guessing it is because of Office 365's per user pricing and too many small companies skipping that for Foundation.

You mean 2016? No, that's what I've just read. Foundation 2013 will be the last and final version.

LOL, um, yes. I guess 2010 is in the past now. Wow.

many people have been suggesting since 2011 that Microsoft plans to just kill off Sharepoint at some point and possibly replace it with something else.

That's very surprising given their massive push for it and investment in it.

All installed and working. Pretty painless in the end. Now I've just got to start using it and get it configured with Dynamics.

I have a client deployment in few days, a 3 tier farm, (2WFE, 2APP, 2SQL- AlwaysON) Waiting for them to share the details to start the installation. Tested on my lab and all seems to be straight forward and hope to have the same smooth setup there as well
