If you’ve used SharePoint, I’m sure the first thing you would’ve noticed is the Ribbon UI. The SharePoint ribbon provides users with a familiar Office user interface and it is also extensible for developers.

This means developers can add their own tabs, groups and controls to the ribbon. In this post I’ll show you how to create your own simple tab and elements for the tab in SharePoint 2010. If your pc is not set up for SharePoint 2010 development yet, read my last post Setting up your PC for SharePoint 2010 development.

If you’ve been following the Add-in Express blog lately, you would’ve noticed a series of articles about Office 365. It is no secret that Office 365 will help move Office to the cloud and as developers we need to gear up for it.

As I’ve mentioned before a major part of Office 365 is SharePoint and in this article I’ll walk you through the process of preparing your PC’s development environment.

In order to be able to use the SharePoint tools in Visual Studio, your development machine needs to have Visual Studio 2010 and SharePoint 2010 installed.

Fortunately you can install SharePoint on Windows 7 and Vista, as long as it is the 64-bit versions. We’ll walk through the necessary steps in order to install SharePoint 2010 on Windows 7.
