SharePoint 2010 PowerShell Commands

PowerShell will become the favoured tool to use when administering SharePoint farms. While stsadm.exe will still be around in SP 2010 I don’t think it will progress to much further. I also don’t feel that it will be extended with custom commands as PowerShell will fill this role nicely.

So in short…learn PowerShell if you are a SharePoint Admin or Developer.

To get a list of all SharePoint 2010 PowerShell commands you can do the following.

In the SharePoint 2010 Management Console enter the following code:

Get-Command –PSSnapin “Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShell” | format-table name > C:\SP2010_PowerShell_Commands.txt

SharePoint Client Object Model

I have just been reading up on the SharePoint Client Object Model. This will really allow developers to deliver rich, interactive applications using a common API.

One of the nice developer features of SharePoint is that it does provide a rich Server Object Model which transcends into consistent code across projects and organisations.

Now we will also have a Client Object Model which will provide a consistent way to develop against SharePoint whether it be from a WPF application, Silverlight or Javascript application.

Here is a nice article explaining the mechanics of it all.
