“It has been a little while since I we were tasked to build a SharePoint Master Page and Corresponding Page Layouts. I wanted to go through a bit of what we did and the developers’ working environment.

Our development environment (single Virtual Machine with 10Gb RAM) consisted of the following:

· Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 (You can use Windows 7 SP1 if you wanted)

· SQL Server 2008 R2 SP1

· Visual Studio 2010 SP1

· SharePoint Designer 2010 SP1

· SharePoint Server 2010 SP1

· CKS – Development Tools Edition (Server)

· Adobe Photoshop CS5 (slicing images)”
