SharePoint 2010

Training Overview

SharePoint 2010 is a large and complex system which offers a combination of intuitive end user experiences, rich customization options, and deep APIs for completely custom extensions. Despite the fact that the user interface is intuitive for most basic end user tasks, some training will help to round out the experience and open everyone’s eyes to the possibilities provided by SharePoint 2010.
