Does Aspose.Words for SharePoint work with Alfresco running on Linux or does it only work within a Windows SharePoint server?

I work as developer evangelist at Aspose and I would like to share some details with you regarding your query.
Aspose.Words for Sharepoint works with Microsoft Sharepoint Server. It is used to convert or combine Word documents with in Sharepoint. As far as your question is concerned, I'm afraid, it is not very clear that how you want to use Aspose.Words with Alfresco. If you could shed some light on that then it would be easier to guide you.
However, as I can see Alfresco is based on Java. Does it provide an interface for Java development as well? Would it be feasible to use a Jar file to process Word documents programmatically with Alfresco? If so, you may try Aspose.Words for Java. This component is a simple Jar file which allows you to create, edit, and convert Word files using Java programming. Please see if this might help in your scenario.

Is Sharepoint my best option to replace an aging network of fileshares? There's approx 1TB of data residing among 3 fileshares (1 DFS, 2 NAS boxes). A document management system is in place for new things - the file shares are now just read-only archives/legacy. Our users would simply need to be able to search for and open the documents.
Users are finding it difficult to locate their documents in the file shares and windows search does not often help. Sharepoint was suggested as something which would play nicely with Office documents (99% of the content) and have a good search facility.
Not being a Sharepoint Developer or having had any training on it, I'm getting a little lost. I have set up a test server to try it out using SP2013. I have managed to index each of my file shares and have created a search page. However, results aren't consistent with the indexted items. I assume I need to somehow get the relevant metadata from the files but I have no idea how to go about this.
Could anyone suggest some resources for help on this subject (my searches have mainly turned up paid-for Sharepoint addons or outdated blogs) and any experience of doing something similar? Also happy for any suggestions on ways to achieve this using other software/platforms.
I went with Microsoft Search Server 2010 in the end.
Sharepoint is basically optimized to be a document manager. I think you don't need to buy or donwload addons.
For your problem, metadata are the key! You need to properly specify the metadata.
I give you the theory of a plan document management in SharePoint 2013 :

A nice introduction to metadata :

Be careful to use the Microsoft documentation for the beginning. From my experience, its difficult to start with this documentation because you have several things in it. There is also good books/ebooks that you can find easily to start well, and probably more simplified than MS documentation.
I am new for Coded UI. We want to use Coded UI to test Sharepoint portals.While running few tests, we came across the following questions.
How does it support if control Id's are generated dynamically?
How much support does it give to test Sharepoint out of box features?
Does it support Third-party asp.net controls?
Please let me know if you have any conclusion for these questions and also share the limitations of Coded UI for Sharepoint features.
Please provided useful links if any.
How does it support if control Id's are generated dynamically?
We have a (non Sharpoint) project with this situation. No problems until now. The record-tool finds normally enough informations (name, position, content, parent) to identify the control.
How much support does it give to test Sharepoint out of box features?
Sorry I haven't expirience to this, but can't imaging that there are to many problems.
Does it support Third-party asp.net controls?
Yes. We use controls form DevExpress - works fine.

In this case I can really recommend you the MSDN Pages to this topic. They provide some good hints in context of working with CUIT.
I will begin working on a sharepoint site, and I have to change the way this site manages the documents (Word format). The purpose is to manage the documents in paragraphs, so that you can have the right document made of the paragraphes that match with your search.
The problem is that I know nothing about sharepoint. Do you have any idea about how I can do it? With which programming langage?
I heard that jQuery helps managing sharepoint web sites, do you think it's a good idea?
Thank you for your help.
jQuery is a client side programming library and won't be able to help you to manage documents on your server. To manage documents on your server, you will have to use the .NET framework using C# or VB.NET.
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.

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:

I do not know anything about Sharepoint, and my company is rolling it out in a few departments.
I am familiar with the workings and usage of Oracle (Stellent) CMS (for storing docs with meta-data, searching for docs, etc), and I am asking if I may use Sharepoint in a similar way?
Can I programmatically upload docs to Sharepoint, from a java web application, and do searches and doc retrieval?
Yes. You are able to do all of that from Java via the MOSS 2k7 Web Services. Here's a quick reference for uploading a file to a list (the example uses .NET, but you can use Java just as easily).
