Development of Educational SharePoint portal for coding students

Abstract

The project will explain what is SharePoint, why is used and who does use it. It will also expose some alternatives, compare them to SharePoint and expose the pros and cons. The main objective of this project will be developing an educational SharePoint portal. Using this portal, coding students will be able to share their solutions to different exercises, vote the best solutions and comment them. This portal will be developed using only software and servers obtained legally without any cost. As can be seen in this project, this will mean that all the coding will be at the client side. This project will use mainly SharePoint, ASP, HTML, CSS and JS. Some third party libraries with creative commons will be also used. This project also pretends to set the bases to expand this portal to other subjects to create a more collaborative studying environment in a future. Finally, an approximation of how much could the development of a portal with these characteristics cost.
