SharePoint 2010 Branding in Practice A guide for Web Developers - Chapter 3
There is a vast amount of resources on how you can develop
custom components for SharePoint 2010. When it comes to branding,
it's a different story. There are few accepted approaches on how to
implement branding in SharePoint and very few guides on how to
approach branding tasks as a whole and integrate them into the
solution development process. Branding is a feature which your
customer (external or internal) has agreed to pay for, and that
feature has to be incorporated in the proper way into the rest of
the solution.
This book is meant to help you apply your existing branding
skills to the SharePoint world in the best possible way. Explore
how to brand collaboration sites as well as publishing sites. Also
see how you can brand sites that are hosted not only on a dedicated
server but on a shared infrastructure in a cloud-which promises to
be a very popular scenario.
This FREE eBook is the first chapter in a three
part series. Chapter 3 " Customizing SharePoint2010
