For sharepoint development (I’m new to it) – can anyone advise whether I should use Sharepoint Designer 2010 for developer or should I use Visual Studio 2010.
Sharepoint Designer is free with Sharepoint License and Visual Studio has cost with it.
can anyone please help.
SharePoint Designer allows you to do edits directly to a site collection. It’s useful for working on those things you aren’t going to throw into a SharePoint Solution (to be deployed by the site collection admin…)
In order to put together SharePoint Solutions, with Web Parts for example, you will need to use Visual Studio.
