I would love to use breeze.js to communicate with SharePoint 2013.
As we are starting to write apps for SharePoint, i think that breeze.js will be a great tool.
SharePoint uses an ODATA-Api, specs
What are the steps i have to take to get breeze to play nicely with the SharePoint backend? As far as i know, this has not been done - and i would like to show that this can be done.
follow-up question
Sounds like a great idea! We have no SharePoint expertise in house. But we'd be happy to help you be successful by answering questions. The place to start ... is trying to query a SharePoint resource yourself using the API you mentioned. Breeze is happy to communicate with OData endpoints. You might begin by reading the Breeze OData documentation.

I am new to SharePoint technology. I don't have any idea where to start and how to proceed. So can anyone suggest me how I should proceed to know about the technology?
Your question is very open ended and will probably gather some criticism for being so but here's the 2 best suggestions I can provide you;
First - Read Books!
The first thing to understand is that Sharepoint comes in two flavours. You have the free to use Windows Sharepoint Services (WSS) which is the core of the product. This part is free and you can start developing using it right now! The second part is MOSS which is the commercial extensions of WSS. This contains loads of really cool features and additional controls such as the Content Query Webpart.
I'd recommend that you start with a good WSS book to understand the fundamentals. To this end I'd recommend Inside Microsoft Windows Sharepoint Services
Second - Do the virtual labs. These allow you experiments with the main topics of Sharepoint in a controlled environment without even having to install or configure it yourself.
See: Sharepoint Virtual Labs
Finally, here's a good site for covering some additional topics

I'm looking at integrating Tibco with Sharepoint 2010 and need to get an understanding of how to go about this. I haven't been able to find anything on Google.
I don't see an adapter for Tibco for Sharepoint so I assume it would need to be manually wired up.
Many thanks!
What do you want to integrate?
As Pavel stated, you really need to clarify more. I don't believe there is a SharePoint adapter that is commercially sold by TIBCO at the moment. You could develop your own, but I don't see much of a point.
While SharePoint has become less of a traditional CMS and more of a RAD platform, I can see potential integration points, however I really don't think you would need to write your own adapter.
Fill us in on what exactly it is you're trying to accomplish and I'd be more than happy to provide some insight, as I've worked extensively on both platforms.
Thanks,
Zachary Carter
I recently started at a new job where I'll be working with Sharepoint 2010 to set up (or actually upgrade) an intranet. Unfortunately, I have no experience with SP2010, and the last time I touched SP2007 (or a virtual server for that matter) was four years ago.
I'll be attending a course soon, but until then I have to make myself useful. I've already managed to install a working Sp2010 server and have played around with some web applications and site collections, and trying to find out how Sharepoint Designer works, but I don't really have an idea what I'm doing or what goals I should set for myself to actually learn useful stuff.
I've also watched some tutorials, but most are really problem-specific (problems I don't have yet) or dive into the code (which I won't, probably).
So.. where to start?
There are a lot of great training videos on Channel9.
Sahil Malik's book is organized as what are the basic things all SharePoint 2010 developers need to know. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Microsoft-SharePoint-2010-Solutions-Professionals/dp/1430228652/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1283973447&sr=8-1
It is a good place to start.
I would suggest video tutorials because:
They are FREE!
They give you more context than just reading what to do.
A quick search will get you specific topics.
Check out Bing videos on SharePoint 2010. There's lots of great content out there to get you going fast.
when i started with SP2010, i began by searching:
New features in Lists and Document
Libraries New search capabilities
DocumentSets (they are very interesting!)
Office Web Apps (Excel and Word web access)
A little bit of FAST Search Engine
Integration with silverlight
Changes in the object model
Workflows
New tools in VS2010
(MSDN, codeplex, codeproject, stackoverflow, and several blogs from Sharepoint MVPs are good places to look for)
I don't know if this would help but that's where I started.. if you need specific help you can find several groups in linkedin.. there are a lots of MVPs helping..
Good luck!
I would recommend you to check out the SharePoint guidance on codeplex. It comes with at sample portal application that is explained and with best practices and guidance for creating a SharePoint site. I am sure that this will provider vital information and knowledge for your project.

Follow the below link to learn sharepoint. It contains sharepoint tutorial videos and all.
http://www.fastsharepoint.com/
Basically i started my sharepoint learning with the following examples:
Create a feature to change site title
Create a feature to change site theme
Create a feature with feature stapling
Create a feature that activates another feature
Create a site through code
Create a list through code
Populate a list with data through code
Create a lookup column in list through code
These are the basic examples that you can understand what is Sharepoint as a beginner.
Please see the below link for more beginner programs:

Litso install a dev box on you machine and get started.
Try doing some migration from one server to the other.
We have an ASP.NET website that we use internally to do some project tracking and various work. We would like to integrate some pieces of it to co-exist with Sharepoint2007 WSS.
Basically what we would really need to do is be able to add items to a list in one of the Sharepoint sites.
I'm not sure where to begin. I've looked online a bit but it seems overly complicated. Is there a quick start guide somewhere that can get me rolling with ease?
The SharePoint Web Services would be a logical place to start. In my opinion this would be the easiest way to build interaction between ASP.NET and SharePoint.
A list of available web services can be found on MSDN.
If adding items to a list is the primary goal, then check out the UpdateListItems method of the Lists web service.
With the scope narrowed to Web Services, you can certainly find tutorials/references online. However, this InfoQ post by Trent Swanson is a decent introduction to SP web services. Note that they recommend generating .NET types using XSD files; in practice, for simple projects I have simply parsed the XML myself using LINQ. You can make it as easy or complex as you like, I suppose.
Can anyone point to any good 'beginners walkthroughs' for the Business Data Catalog in MOSS 2007 Enterprise? It seems to be very powerful, but all the official guides assume preexisting knowledge.
Have a look at SharePoint 2007 Developer's Guide to Business Data Catalog. The authors (Brett Lonsdale and Nick Swan) have been developing tools and working with the BDC for 'ages' and really know their stuff.
There is an early access available now with the final due to be published in September 2009.
This has a great overview on the BDC, some examples on what it can do, and how to configure it:
http://sharepointmagazine.net/technical/administration/everything-you-need-to-know-about-bdc-part-1-of-8
It's a really great starting place that will help you get better footing when proceeding on to the more technical sites & how-tos. It's the best "starter" resource I've found yet.
Take a look at BDC Metaman, this tool will support you connecting to a BDC.
I played around with it a few months ago, and was able to display data from a db. Do you have a problem you're trying to solve, or are you just trying to get an understanding of what you can do with it?
By "preexisting knowledge", do you mean of Sharepoint, or the BDC itself?
