I'm a newbie to using Project Web Access and I wondered if someone can guide me by giving links that help in integration of SharePoint site with Project Web Access.
What I want to do is to generate Gantt charts inside a regular SharePoint site. I know that there is a standard view to generate charts in SharePoint but I need the more customizable view in Project Web Access.
You should be able to add the Project Details web part into the project workspace. That will allow you to use its Gantt Chart view.

Iam trying to develop webpart for firm website on SharePoint with visual studio, the problem is that there is no solution for SharePoint online - Visual web part. When i try to create SharePoint 2013 - visual web part, I get an
error message.
The only thing there is for Sharepoint online is Apps for Sharepoint and that isn't a web part, or atleast I haven't found a way to use it as such.
When I talk to my supervisor about the error, he tells me that they can't create a virtual server for me to install the SharePoint server on and I have to code it through the Sharepoint online.
Is there any way for me to develop and deploy the webpart with an online Sharepoint server instead of local one or to atleast create it through the apps for Sharepoint?
You can use App Parts, those are Web Parts that display content from an installed App, you can add them at any page of your site as normal Web Parts, App Parts are deployed in the same package as your App, so you can have everything in the same solution.
There are plenty of resources that will help you to develop Apps and to include App Parts also, just look for the right concept in google and you will find it.
There are two kinds of SharePoint Apps (or Add-ins which is the new name), the first one is SharePoint Hosted App and the second one is SharePoint Provider Hosted App, the one you need will depend on the functionality you want to achieve, but as a general reference you can think on the data source that you want to consume in your solution, e.g. if the data to be used by the App is in the SP Site where you are going to install it, then all you need is a SharePoint Hosted App, however if the data is in an external location like databases stored in local servers, then you will need SharePoint Provider Hosted App. Of course this is just a very basic view of this topic, there are other reasons to use one or the other but its pointless to make a full list here. This is a wide topic and you can find tons of articles and guides about this.
If all you need is a simple webpart to display some content with a nice look or roll up some content and provide an output based on it, then you can use a SharePoint Hosted App, which is the easiest to develop and deploy, with this kind of app you can use JavaScript get the data from your site, and then you can display your output in an App Part.
I'm sorry to not provide specific pages to read, but that's just because it's better to look for the guides that be easier for you to understand and that may vary from person to person, all you need to know is the concepts and topics to search for.
If you want me to help you with this please send me a message (my profile).
please, can you help me on how to add Excel Web Access Web part into my sharepoint gallery?
I need to see an Excel sheet in sharepoint and I just can't find this feature.
Is this web part supposed to be manually downloaded?
Is my sharepoint version that might be not allowing me to have it?
I can't even see the category "business data" where Excel is supposed to be at the examples that I saw.
Excel Web Access is only available in SharePoint Server (rather than the free SharePoint Foundation).
I have a couple of reports that are sitting on a Sharepoint site that I need to make available to users outside of the organisation that I'm working in. So they will need to login in a .com portal etc to view these reports. at the moment we only have the Sharepoint reporting services running.
How I'm looking for the easiest way to achieve this. Could be depoly the reports needed on native mode server and have the native portal front end accesible for appropriate users, or should we be looking to build a tailored frontend to pull the specified reports directly from their sharepoint location.
any recomendations be greatly appreciated

I want to create a new customized web part through sharepoint designer not using the default one. Can anyone tell me is this possible to do it in sharepoint designer? or do I need any other software to do this?
Generally speaking, SharePoint designer doesn't do custom web parts. You can do some work with dataview web parts to retrieve data from external systems, but for the most part you need Visual Studio to create a custom web part. Here is a basic tutorial.
I have a custom webpart for Sharepoint 2007. I am trying to deploy it to a new Sharepoint web application. I am using WSPBuilder with VS2010 to do the deploy. When I examine the wss\VirtualDirectories\ folder for the web app, the wpcatalog folder does not exist there. When I go to the Web Part Gallery and click "New" button, the web part is no there either. What could be causing this behavior? Are there any other ways to troubleshoot it?
Thanks.
the wpcatalog is actually a document library containing the .webpart definition files. It is stored in the content database, not the file system.
You need to verify the solution is in fact deployed to your web application, and then activate any features if necessary. You can verify the solution deployment under central administration\operations\solution management.
