Web parts are cool… Ask someone to name five features of SharePoint and they will almost always mention web parts. And the best thing, most of what you need to know about web parts is how to create ASP.NET 2.0 web parts.

Notes:
Web Parts in General
If you have not worked with web parts before go and find any of the good books or online tutorials and videos on SharePoint 2007 web parts. Maybe start with this book: Inside Microsoft Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 or attend a good SharePoint 2007 or 2007/2010 dev class (like mine!).
What’s new in 2010?
- Visual Web Parts
- Debugging info from the Developer Dashboard
- Using the templates and deploy options in Visual Studio 2010
- Sandboxed Solutions (several web part restrictions)
Web Part Notes:
- Know how to write code for custom connection interfaces, and the SharePoint interfaces
- Know the difference between, and when you would use, System.Web.UI.WebControls.WebParts.WebPart (recommended) or Microsoft.SharePoint.WebPartPages.WebPart (mostly for backward compatibility)
- Know what can be used in Sandboxed Solutions
- Visual Web Parts = no
- Microsoft.SharePoint.WebPartPages.WebPart = no
- No Web Part connections
- Asynchronous postbacks in Web Parts in sandboxed solutions are not supported and will not function
- must have the AllowPartiallyTrustedCallers attribute set at the assembly level
- Know how to deploy a web part as a Feature and as a Solution
- Know all about Safe Controls
- Know how to deploy using Visual Studio 2010 and how to manually deploy
- Debugging
- Debugging from Visual Studio on a local machine
- Debugging from Visual Studio on a remote server
- How to enable (and disable) the Developer Dashboard (STSADM, PowerShell and code)
- Know where SharePoint logs things: Windows Event Logs, …\14\LOGS
Delegate Controls:
- Basically a SharePoint control (<SharePoint:DelegateControl …/>) and a .Net user control ( *.ascx )
- Need to know:
- How to add SharePoint:DelegateControl to a page or a master page
- How to deploy an ASCX control to ..\14\TEMPLATE\CONTROLS
- How to associate an ASCX control to a DelegateControl (a Feature!)
- How to declare a Safe Control in the web.config
