We have sharepoint server 2010 with farm installation on VM.
We are 3 member in team and we want to work on development of sharepoint site, so what will be the requirement for development and how should we setup our development environment.
Thanks in advance.
start with a x64 os then follow these directions:

Is it possible to run a sharepoint server without hyper-v? I am using visual studio 2010 and cannot create a sharepoint project as i have no sharepoint server. I have discovered that on windows 8, the sharepoint server has to be installed on a virtual machine. I cannot enable hyper-v as i do not have windows pro. Is it possible to enable hyper-v without windows pro or use another VM?
Help would be appreciated.
You could probably use VirtualBox (http://virtualbox.org) which is free and spin up a VM and you should be able to access it locally to develop to. You may consider installing Visual Studio on the VM itself to avoid having to configure remote debugging.
I need advise on what can be best way to setup/configure SHAREPOINT 2010 Environment for 6-members teams (with 3-working at onsite and 2-working at offshore)
Currently I only had two team members but team is now increasing. What we have is DEVELOPMENT SERVER - with Visual Studio and SharePoint Server installed. Developers remote VNC to the box and do their development.
But with number of developers are increasing what should be ideal, so that team can communicate from offshore/onshore
Is this Ideal (installed on each developer laptop)
Visual Studio 2010
and
SharePoint Server (Installed on Windows Server 2008) and developers will use this rather than installing SharePoint locally (enterprise edition is very expensive)
We start to developing with SharePoint 2010 in the team one and half years ago. We try different environment structures for developing, but had many conflicts. Today everyone work in his own environment (HV) with SP enterprise edition, just sharing the code via Team System. The problem is in this set-up the content, everybody has his special content, but if it is critical for you, make backup in every environment.
So we have one SQL server, and for every developer a server with SP and VS.
By the way I think you don't need to purchase SharePoint Server for development environment. If I'm right it is free. You need purchase OS, Sql, VS, but not the SP. Please check with your Microsoft seller.
Is there anyway to develop sharepoint projects without having sharepoint server installed locally. I have a sharepoint server running at my work and vs2010 installed locally. I want to be able to test my projects on the server.
You develop them locally but without SharePoint installed you cant test them. Microsoft Offers no free version of SharePoint Server, so you have to be able to use a licensed copy of SharePoint to test on it. I just use a Remote Desktop Connection to connect to my DEV machine that has SP installed on and Visual Studio. I then develop my app then test, and then it gets deployed to our SharePoint Farm.
Yes, it is possible. You just need to build wsp and then deploy it on a SharePoint server. I hope, this links will help you:

Is it possible that can I use Sharepoint server as development machine also. My mananger has asked me to use one of the newly purchased server for Sharepoint server as well as sharepoint development.
In future we will do some small development so what type of installation do I need?
Please guide me for the following which one I should install or which one is not required.
Standalone or Farms
VM
SQL Server 2008
VS 2010
SharePoint 2010 can run on a 64-Bit Windows 7, as per instructions from Microsoft.
It does not work on 32 Bit Windows as SharePoint 2010 is 64-Bit only, and it does not work on Vista.
Yes, it is possible to use your SharePoint server as a development machine. I'd suggest using a VM as it allows you to quickly and easily switch between, revert and deploy setups should something go wrong (and things WILL go wrong with SharePoint).
At work, my machine runs Win Server 2008 and I remote into a Hyper-V hosted VM which itself runs Server 2008 - I develop and run SP on that VM. Since I have SP, SQL Server and VS2010 all running on it at the same time, I allocate the VM at least 5.5 GB of memory (and it's still hungry for more).
You can develop for SharePoint 2010 on a Windows 2008 Server x64 or on a Windows 7 64bit. A Windows 7 is of course only recommended for development.
Most developers use a standalone machine for their SharePoint 2010 development. Creating a farm is complex and $$.
Personally I develop in virtual machines. I have on clean vm image that I copy for every new project (client). You need a powerful computer to run these virtual machines. At least 4GB memory and a recent multicore cpu.
You will need Visual Studio 2010, SQL server and ofcourse SharePoint. Office can also be handy but is not needed. SQl server express is included in Visual Studio and the SharePoint install also installs SQl server if needed. Certain Visual Studio versions include an "SQL server developer" license.
I will need a Sharepoint Server 2010 install for learning purposes.. I already have a Win 7 x64 os installation with vs2010 and I use it for my current development needs.
The question is ... would you recommend to install sharepoint onto an existing win 7 installation, create a separate OS instance (win7 or win 2008 r2?) for sharepoint development purposes or maybe create a VM for that? I have 4GBs of ram and I wont be able to extend it.
What are your experiences with dev environments for sharepoint 2010? I remember that 2007 was a real resource hog - maybe there is a 'magical' switch that allows sharepoint 2010 related services to be turned off?
If you thought SharePoint 2007 is a resource hog, SharePoint 2010 is even worse. The full installation creates lots of Windows services and IIS application pools. Which makes it really hard to stop SharePoint since all those services start automatically.I agree with others that you should use the VM approach but I think you need Windows Server 2008 R2 to be able to create 64-bit VMs.
Here's a link to powershell scripts for stopping/starting SharePoint services: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/emberger/archive/2009/11/16/stop-and-go-with-sharepoint-2010-on-your-workstation.aspx
I personally always run it in a different instance - either a separate machine or a virtual machine. Sharepoint 2010 is massive, and changes your system with a magnitude not seen by any previous sharepoint version, in terms of databases, scheduled tasks, services...
You should install your SharePoint 2010 in Server2008 R2 if you can ,since then you can do a complete install and use domain account.The installation in win7 is a standalone install and only use system account.It does not match what is in production...
Or if you can, virtualize your SharePoint environment.You need to give at least 4gb ram to SharePoint VM otherwise it is running like a dog.
