Microsoft Business Connectivity Services (BCS) (formerly named the Business Data Catalog) provides read/write access to external data from line-of-business (LOB) systems, Web services, databases, and other external systems within Microsoft SharePoint 2010 and Microsoft Office 2010 applications. Both SharePoint 2010 and Office 2010 applications have product features that can USE external data directly, both online and offline. Developers can gain access to a rich set of features and rapidly build solutions using familiar tools such as Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 and Microsoft SharePoint Designer 2010.




Business Connectivity Services enhances Office application and SharePoint application capabilities and their user interface (UI) through features, services, and tools. These enhanced capabilities and UI streamline development of solutions with DEEP integration of external data and services. Experienced USERS, developers, and business unit IT professionals can integrate assets from external systems and enable interaction with the external data through many types of Office client and server applications. The Business Connectivity Services feature set enables RAPID development and deployment of scalable and security-rich solutions. The following diagram shows a high-level view of Business Connectivity Services.

As all of us know sharepoint products is divided in two parts by microsoft. Where one PART is WSS and other one is MOSS. One important thing is WSS (Windows SharePoint services) is the PLATFORM on which MOSS(Microsoft Office SharePoint server) is built. The WSS part is licensed through Windows 2003 server and it does not cost. MOSS is separate product by itself and it needs licensing and it has a good amount of cost . WSS is good for small team and small projects. MOSS has extra functionalities in other words VALUE added services.WSS does not work in an isolated fashion. It needs help of two more products IIS (INTERNET Information Server) and SQL Server.

A SharePoint site helps in creation of web site that provides a central space for storage and collaboration space for components, documents, information and ideas. A SharePoint site helps groups of people share information and work together.

OR

SharePoint is an extensible and scalable web based platform consisting of tools and tecnologies that collectively form what known as SharePoint products and technologies. The total package is a platform and which you can build business applications to help you bettter store, share and manage digital information within your organizatin.

The SharePoint products and technologies have TWO majerthings thats are...

1) Windows SharePoint Services (WSS):
WSS 3.0 from Microsoft is a free offering available to Windows Server 2003 and Small Business Server 2003. It is a collaboration software that provides a central location for individuals working on a project team or in a functional group to share information and communicate with one another. It also provides specialized websites that contain elements, INCLUDING a central calendar, TASK lists, discussion boards, wikis, blogs, and libraries of documents, photos, and forms. Team members can access the site using a web browser from their PC or PDA. SharePoint sites can be taken offline and accessed even if the Internet connection is not available. SharePoint also integrates seamlessly with Microsoft Office applications.

2) Microsoft Office SharePoint Serverver (MOSS):
MOSS is basically an extension of Windows SharePoint Services (WSS), with advanced collaboration and enterprise content management tools and integration of enterprise information. The MOSS ARCHITECTURE is based on the WSS 3.0 technology, which is built using the ASP.NET application. All MOSS sites are automatically hosted and configured to run on IIS server, and the SQL Server database is used as the backend application.
It is a server application software from Microsoft intended for large organizations. It provides advanced features such as enterprise search capabilities, collaboration and content management, streamlining of business processes, and integration of business data from other applications. It allows you to create specialized team sites, to collaborate and share information, and also to create personal sites for each member to share their personal information.

A content TYPE is a flexible and reusable WSS type DEFINITION or template that defines the columns and behavior for an item in a list or a document in a document library. For example, you can create a content type for a leave approval document with a UNIQUE set of columns, an EVENT handler, and its own document template and attach it with a document library/libraries.
