zevenseas answer to the SharePoint App Store - webcast
July 14, 2010
Daniel McPherson demoed me two products zevenseas have been working on, TunnelPoint and ProduShare.
Dan really got me thinking about the possibilities here to write assembly free solutions such as .webpart, .stp and themes that can be deployed to ProduShare. These can be free products or licensed products. It was really cool to see how seamless it was to click in ProduShare and see the web part or site template or theme be applied straight into a BPOS site and also a quick site I span up on my own public facing WSS 3.0 site.
It leverages the out of the box SharePoint Web Services and does an amazing job of show casing the extensibility of SharePoint.
In time to come, ProduShare will also (he promised in webcast) support SP2010 sandboxed solutions and hopefully SharePoint Sites not available over the Internet. This is a sure fire way to distribute your products and takes away the pain of building your own store!

Produshare – The one-click Application Store for SharePoint in the Cloud. Produshare is all about bringing the simplicity of the Apple AppStore/iPhone combination to SharePoint. It’s a solution storefront that not only provides you with a single place to look for the solution you need, but that actually understands how to integrate with SharePoint. If you bnrowse our store and like something, then with a single click you can install it to your site. Product types include Web Parts, Lists, Themes, designs and even assembly free solutions. 
TunnelPoint – A BDC/BCS for SharePoint in the Cloud TunnelPoint is an internet application that allows you to connect a selection of internet based Web Services to SharePoint lists. For example, you can connect a Stock Quote service to a SharePoint list that stores stock tickers, with the prices automatically updated for you on a schedule. In this way it’s a broker that brings live data streaming straight into your SharePoint site, and it’s all done with just a few clicks. |
I was so impressed with what he showed me that I scheduled a web cast with him yesterday and have uploaded this to the SharePointDevWiki.com Podcast space…please go and check it out…it’s really impressive! Better yet, go get yourself an account and try it out for yourself!
