Excel Services Application is a service application in Microsoft SharePoint Server 2010 that you can use to share, secure, and manage Microsoft Excel 2010 workbooks (.xlsx, .xlsb, and .xlsm extensions) as interactive reports in a consistent way throughout the enterprise.

All Excel Services Application settings will support backup and recovery regardless of whether there is a UI setting in the Central Administration Web site. This means that all global settings, trusted locations, user-defined-functions, data connection libraries, and trusted data provider settings will support backup and recovery. However, the following items will not be backed up as part of the backup and recovery process:

• User-defined function assemblies. These assemblies will not be backed up or restored because they are binary files and not simply settings; however, the data in the list of trusted user-defined functions is backed up.
• Trusted data provider binaries. (The full list of trusted data providers and all associated properties, however, are backed up.)
• Any Excel Web Access (EWA) Web Part properties.
• Office data connection (.odc extension) files and workbook files.

Note:

URLs of any kind (that is, URLs to trusted locations, user-defined functions, or data connection libraries) must be manually fixed after a restore operation because they may no longer be valid.

In addition to using Windows PowerShell for Excel Services Application backup and recovery functionality, you can use Windows PowerShell to provision the service application from scratch or provision a new instance that uses settings from a previous backup, and manage and configure trusted file locations, data providers, data connection libraries, and settings for user-defined function assemblies. You can also change global settings for Excel Services Application.

Search in SharePoint Server 2010 is re-architected with new components to create greater redundancy within a single farm and to allow scalability both horizontally and vertically.

In this presentation you will see:

Physical and logical components
Scale-out decision points

Example scaled-out architectures

• Limited deployments
• Small farm architecture
• Medium shared architecture
• Medium dedicated search architecture
• Virtualized topologies
• Large dedicated search farm

This presentation will help you go through the initial design steps to determine a basic design for a Microsoft SharePoint  Server 2010 search architecture. Each successive step will help you refine the initial design by identifying key design drivers, starting with business requirements and metrics. You can use the outputs of each step to inform the next set of questions. After going through each step in this presentation, you will be able to map business requirements and key performance metrics to a baseline search architecture.

1. Identify corpus volume and key performance metrics

2. Map key metrics to logical topology and search components

3. Map logical topology to a physical architecture design

4. Stage, test, and iterate

This looks like a great option to learn SharePoint 2007 and SharePoint 2010 development while earning college credit at a well known University in Chicago.

It is rare to see universities offering classes on very current technologies not to mention offering college credit for a very current version and the future version of SharePoint.

http://www.cdm.depaul.edu/ipd/Programs/Pages/SharePointDeveloperProgram.aspx

Overview
A 10-week comprehensive program covering Microsoft SharePoint development. The program exposes students to SharePoint architecture and the use of SharePoint as a development platform for building customized solutions, focusing on SharePoint as a collaboration framework and content management system.

The program will begin with an overview of the various product editions and their features as well as a refresher of the .NET 2.0+ fundamentals that SharePoint is built upon. The program will then provide in-depth coverage of the core development constructs of SharePoint to enable the student to understand how the pieces fit together in common use cases. Finally, the program will expose the student to current development trends and how they will carry over into the next release of the product, SharePoint 2010.

Admission Requirements
Applicants must have a solid programming background (at least two years of professional experience is preferred), including some experience building dynamic websites using ASP.NET and C#, and knowledge of basic HTML/CSS.

Dates & Location: Spring Quarter 2010
Application deadline: Mar. 12, 2010
Tuition deadline: Mar. 18, 2010

Classes meet on Tuesday and Thursday evenings (5:45pm-9pm) at DePaul University’s Loop Campus at 243 South Wabash Avenue, Chicago, IL.

Online Section: Students may elect to register for an online section of the course. For more information about the online section, click here.
DePaul University reserves the right to cancel any program prior to that program’s first class meeting.

Course Credit
The SharePoint Developer Program is an accredited course of DePaul University, which follows the quarter system (as opposed to the semester system).
Course #: IPD 358
Credit hours: 10 undergraduate
