The Office 2010 Beta Developer Training Kit has been released, and it’s chock full of interested presentations, links to videos, and most importantly, labs. Here’s a rundown of the labs, which you could probably use to make a full-scale Office 2010 application.

Getting Started with Office 2010 Development

Build and debug a small Word 2010 add-in. Learn how to customize the Office ribbon and use the ribbon designer. This C# lab utilizes the new dynamic keyword and uses WPF data-binding with the SharePoint Client API.

Open Xml Programming

Utilize the previous lab’s add-in to to use the Open XML SDK and a SharePoint 2010 ListEventHandler.

Business Connectivity Services

Create external content types in SharePoint Designer 2010 and Visual Studio 2010 then connect to the external data with Business Connectivity Services. You will extend a simple Outlook Form Region to use the external data once the connection is established using the SharePoint Workspace 2010 cache.

Client Workflow

Using Visio 2010, SharePoint Designer 2010, and Visual Studio 2010, you will build a workflow process to approve a timesheet submission. When an entry is submitted by an employee, several fields are examined before an approved timesheet is produced. The data from this timesheet is used to generate a printable version in a Word document.

Word Services generates PDF and XPS files based on a Word document, and the Excel Service exposed a REST interface to an Excel workbook. This lab utilizes these services to build a report generation application.

Office 2010 UI Customization

This lab demonstrates how to deploy several Office add-ins using ClickOnce and post deployment actions. You will also learn how to create deployments containing multiple add-ins and how to create a WSP file to deploy an Office Document template.
