I’ve been working with an early SharePoint 2010 beta for the past couple of months and I must say I’m really excited about the new features, including new rich usability features. There are way too many features for one blog post alone!
So, to kick start things I’ve created a number of slides and videos, which I’ve listed below. These should help to whet your appetite and if you’re currently using SharePoint Server 2007 I’ve included some comparative shots in some of the videos. Of course, if you’re one of the lucky 7000+ people attending the SharePoint Conference currently underway in Vegas (USA) then you’re in for a real treat. Get ready for information overload!

Q&A
I’ve only just touched the surface here. SharePoint 2010 is feature rich and there are loads of possibilities for customization and extending OOB functionality.
My next book will contain lots of goodies!
Until next time!
