Core Concepts

SharePoint Architecture

Site Collections - Top-level sites with shared settings
Sites & Subsites - Hierarchical structure
Lists & Libraries - Data storage containers
Content Types - Reusable content definitions
Site Columns - Reusable field definitions
Permissions - Security and access control

Development Approaches

SPFx - SharePoint Framework (modern)
Add-ins - SharePoint-hosted and provider-hosted apps
Web Parts - Custom UI components
Extensions - Application customizers, field customizers
REST API - RESTful web services
CSOM - Client-Side Object Model

Content Management

Document Management - Version control, check-in/out
Metadata - Columns and managed metadata
Search - Enterprise search capabilities
Workflows - Business process automation
Information Management - Retention and policies
Records Management - Compliance and governance

Best Practices

Site Architecture

Use hub sites for site association
Implement flat site structure (avoid deep subsites)
Use modern sites over classic
Apply consistent branding and theming
Use site templates for standardization
Implement proper governance

Content Organization

Use content types for consistency
Apply metadata for better findability
Implement managed metadata for taxonomy
Use document sets for related documents
Configure version control appropriately
Set up retention and disposal policies

Development Standards

Follow SPFx development guidelines
Use PnP libraries for common operations
Implement proper error handling
Use TypeScript for type safety
Test in dev/test before production
Document custom solutions

Performance Optimization

Minimize REST API calls
Use batch operations for multiple requests
Implement caching strategies
Optimize views and queries
Use indexed columns for large lists
Avoid client-side heavy operations

Anti-Patterns

Architecture Issues

Deep site hierarchy (more than 2-3 levels)
Over-customization of out-of-box features
Using classic sites for new development
Inconsistent information architecture
No governance or naming conventions
Mixed modern and classic experiences

Development Problems

Using JSOM in new solutions (use REST or PnP)
Hard-coding site URLs
No error handling
Synchronous operations blocking UI
Direct DOM manipulation
Missing responsive design

Content Management Issues

Using folders instead of metadata
Not leveraging content types
Poor metadata strategy
No retention policies
Inadequate permissions structure
Missing backup strategy
