These Web-based applications are stand-alone applications focused on offering access to Word 2010, PowerPoint 2010, Excel 2010, and OneNote 2010 documents through any browser across multiple platforms, lightweight creation and editing capabilities in standard formats, sharing and collaboration on those documents through the browser, and various Web-enabled scenarios. Documents created by using Office Web Apps are no different from documents that were created by using the corresponding desktop applications. The associated services are used to prepare documents for viewing and editing in a Web browser.

Service applications are different from the services that are started and stopped on specific servers and listed on the Services on Server page in the SharePoint Central Administration Web site. Some of the services listed on this page are associated with service applications, but service applications represent specific instances of services that can be configured and shared in specific ways.


Detail:
1. Access Services

Link to my article: Access Service

Overview


Access 2010 templates are accessible from Access Backstage and are ready-to-use and free database solutions complete with tables, queries, forms, and reports built for common scenarios. In addition to the templates shipped with Access 2010, there are numerous third party templates available at office.com.

Many times, you may find that it is much easier to customize a template to a customer’s unique needs rather than start from scratch. In this exercise, you will learn how to perform tasks related to template customization and save development time.

Consider the needs of a human resources manager who needs to track job applicants. A good place to start in a situation like this is to see if there are any templates available that you could use as a starting point. In Access 2010, the Contacts Web Database template serves as an excellent starting point for a job applicant tracking system. Since the purpose of this exercise is to get experience modifying web database objects, we will use the Contacts Web Database template as a starting point for this exercise.
2. Application Registry

Overview


The Application Registry Service is a shared service in SharePoint Server 2010 to store application definitions that are compatible with the Office SharePoint Server 2007 Business Data Catalog object model. If you did a version to version upgrade from Office SharePoint Server 2007 to SharePoint Server 2010 or you did a standalone installation of SharePoint Server 2010, the service is turned on by default. If you are not upgrading solutions from Office SharePoint Server 2007 to SharePoint Server 2010, you can turn the service off to improve performance.
