Developing SharePoint 2013 Solutions with JavaScript – Part 3
SharePoint environments demand JavaScript expertise—and Part 3 pushes beyond basics into production-ready patterns. You’ll tackle client-side object models, event handling, and integration challenges that separate junior developers from architects who actually ship.
AIU.ac Verdict: Ideal for intermediate JavaScript developers already comfortable with SharePoint fundamentals who need to build robust, maintainable solutions. Note: assumes solid grounding in Parts 1–2; jumping in cold will leave gaps in your mental model.
What This Course Covers
This module dives into advanced client-side customisation using the SharePoint JavaScript Object Model (JSOM). You’ll master event receivers, form validation, dynamic list interactions, and REST API consumption—the real-world plumbing that keeps SharePoint instances responsive and user-friendly. Expect hands-on labs covering asynchronous patterns, error handling, and debugging techniques that actually work in production environments.
David Mann walks you through practical scenarios: conditional field visibility, cross-list lookups, and AJAX-driven workflows. You’ll learn where to hook your code (master pages, content editor web parts, feature receivers) and how to avoid common pitfalls like scope creep and performance degradation. By the end, you’re writing JavaScript that integrates seamlessly with SharePoint’s server-side architecture.
Who Is This Course For?
Ideal for:
- Mid-level SharePoint developers: You’ve completed Parts 1–2 and need to level up into client-side customisation and API integration for real projects.
- JavaScript developers moving into SharePoint: Strong JS fundamentals but new to SharePoint’s JSOM and event model—this bridges that gap efficiently.
- Solutions architects planning SharePoint implementations: You need to understand JavaScript’s role in modern SharePoint solutions to make informed technical decisions.
May not suit:
- Complete beginners to JavaScript: This assumes comfort with closures, callbacks, and async patterns; start with Part 1 or a foundational JS course first.
- SharePoint Online-only teams: SharePoint 2013 is on-premises focused; if you’re purely cloud-based, modern REST and PnP approaches may serve you better.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does Developing SharePoint 2013 Solutions with JavaScript – Part 3 take?
4 hours 53 minutes of video content. Plan 6–8 hours total including hands-on labs and practice.
Do I need to complete Parts 1 and 2 first?
Strongly recommended. Part 3 builds directly on foundational concepts and patterns introduced earlier. Skipping ahead will create knowledge gaps.
Will this work for SharePoint Online or only on-premises?
This course focuses on SharePoint 2013 (on-premises). Many JSOM patterns apply to older Online versions, but modern SharePoint Online uses REST and PnP JavaScript libraries—different tooling.
What’s the hands-on lab environment like?
Pluralsight provides sandboxed SharePoint instances where you write and test code in real time. You’ll need a working knowledge of Visual Studio or a code editor.
