If you’re looking to get started in SharePoint development, there’s no better place to start than our SharePoint development tutorials. Our tutorials are designed for beginners and intermediates alike and will teach you everything you need to know about developing in SharePoint.
All the tutorials have been executed by myself, and the code will work as explained, but if you still have any issues, feel free to let me know in the comment box.
To become a SharePoint developer, check out the below sharepoint development tutorials and sharepoint development examples.
SharePoint Development Tutorials
To learn SharePoint development, you need to know both the server object model things and the client object model things. In fact, you should know the three types of development models in SharePoint.
1. SharePoint Server Object Model: This code will run on the SharePoint server, so we cannot use it in SharePoint Online. We can use the server object model in SharePoint On-premises versions like SharePoint server subscription editions, SharePoint server 2019, SharePoint server 2016/2013, etc.
2. SharePoint client-object model: This we can use in both SharePoint Online and in SharePoint on-premises versions. Here, we can use CSOM, JSOM, Rest API, etc.
3. SharePoint Framework (SPFx): SPFx is the modern SharePoint development model, and we can develop using open-source tools and technologies in SharePoint Online as well as SharePoint on-premises versions. This is the current and future model of development. For all the modern SharePoint sites, we are using the SPFx development model.
In the case of SharePoint add-in or apps development, check out an article on how to create a provider-hosted app in SharePoint online.
SharePoint server object model tutorials
Here are the SharePoint server object model tutorials you can run in your SharePoint on-premises versions, not in SharePoint Online.
| Tutorials | Descriptions |

SharePoint client-side development tutorials
If you want to start with SharePoint client-side development, these tutorials are for you. I will cover all the different client object model tutorials in SharePoint.
1. SharePoint CSOM (C#) Object Model Tutorials
In this case, you will use the C# code using the below DLLs:
- Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.dll
- Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.Runtime.dll
To work with CSOM in SharePoint, you must first download and install the SharePoint Online Client Components SDK in the client machine where you want to connect to your SharePoint Online site. This provides you with all the tools and assemblies required for SharePoint development. Alternatively, you can also use the NuGet packages in Visual Studio.
