Course Outline
Module 1: Introduction to Web Parts for Microsoft SharePoint
Products and Technologies
This module explains the concepts behind Web Parts, which are a type
of ASP.NET server control. Unlike standard ASP.NET controls, which are
added to Web form pages by programmers at design time, Web Parts are
added to Web Part Zones on Web Part Pages by users at run time.
