Hi All, 


       You can share your knowledge about the role of CAML in Sharepoint Server


CAML (ML derivative, Categorical Abstract Machine Language) vs CAML (XML derivative, Collaborative Application Markup Language)

In another brillant naming decision, Microsoft has appropriated the acronym CAML for thier XML derived markup language for Sharepoint Webparts. This is going to cause a lot of confusion in the world! To help migitate that confusion, I think a disambiguation page, or other uses, etc, page should be made the can point the person in the right direction.

For example, I am a software developer, and at work I we were discussing Sharepoint Development. Someone said "These are written in CAML". Someone else said "I know CAML.", but when we went to look at the code... Of couse it's a completely different language. So, I wanted to find out what the deal is, and I've had a very hard time finding information about this.

Wikipedia only presents Categorical Abstract Machine Language as CAML, but referrs to the Sharepoint langauge by it's full name without any link to it. It took a bit of googling to find the full name, then a wiki search to find the article on it.
