Summary
“SharePoint” is an umbrella term for Microsoft’s
collaborative web technologies including both WSS
and SPS.
Windows SharePoint Services (WSS) is a set of web
server extensions that are part of Windows 2003 and
allow teams to quickly create and manage a simple
hierarchy of collaborative web sites.
Microsoft SharePoint Portal Server (SPS) is a server
product built on WSS that brings together collections
of WSS site hierarchies into a single, centrallymanaged portal. SPS provides services such as
search capabilities that can be shared across all sites
in the organisation.
WebParts are the key building block for adding
custom content to SharePoint-based solutions. A
WebPart is an ASP.NET custom control that is
designed to be managed by SharePoint’s
infrastructure.
