SharePoint’s structure is made up of Site Collections and
Sites. Explain them
Site collections: SharePoint is a collaborative medium which
uses websites. The structure involves site collections which then include a
list of sub-sites, all structured in a hierarchical manner. All the sites under
a site collection have a common set of administrative settings, which enable
maintaining consistent look and feel, features and branding among those sites.
Every site collection has a top level site to begin with. The advantages of
organizing a site collection are:
Sharing of libraries, galleries, branding, and consistent
look and feel.
Unified way of administering multiple sites in a single
collection including, security, policies, features, reports, BI etc.
Provides scalability in terms of a web farm, as each site can
use its own content database which can be moved around as well.
Enables sharing of site columns, content types, web parts,
authoring resources, workflow and other authoring features.
Enables unified navigation, search capabilities.
Sites: Sites are based on templates and may
or may not have unique content and settings. Every site may have a unique
template as needed. Some of the features of sites:
One can use language specific templates to create various
sites
Define unique users/groups for every site.
Have every site its own welcome page and or other pages.
Use master pages or define unique layouts
Manage colors and skins through themes
Have different settings on sites based on regional settings

into its own dll..............

collaborate on documents through various project tasks assigned to
individuals..............
