Agenda
Why SharePoint?
The biggest reasons seem to be Document process, LOB integration, and Web sites
Getting Started

Environments
On the choice between native or Virtualized, he recommend Virtualized, because you can use snapshots, VM farms, can create one on a per project basis.
Made it so can devope on Windows7/Vista Sp1...must be 64 bit operating system. Tho there a few prerquite steps that would need to be run 1st
Released last week, automated developer workstation builds using power scripts for windows 7
(1hr-4hr install)

Tools
VS2010 - Builsd wsp packages you can place on another machine and run
SharePoint Designer is considered the no code tool for SharePoint. Has way to save wsp, which then can be imported in VS2010. This makes prototyping easier using designer
Can also use Visio 2010 to model workflows that cn be imported into SharePoint designer

Solutions
The top 5 things people use sharepoint are data model,User interface/web parts, events, LOB, workflow
Have asdded Rest APIs, and Client Object model(,net, JavaScript, silver light) to allow you to access data in sharepoint (tho it does not allow you to do admin stuff)
Supports Ribbons, and silverlight. It uses silverlight for multiple thing.

Deployment
Using F5 to bukld and autodeploy webparts to sandboxed sharepoint sites
