SharePoint Training Coming at Ya

 "I could post it on the server."

"Why don't you put it on the SharePoint site?"

"Oh, we have SharePoint now? How do I learn about that?"

"I'll just send you the link, it's pretty intuitive."

So this was my introduction to SharePoint in my last job, a little over a year ago. Now there is a lot of intuitiveness with the system, but good golly, I would have like to know about the training available at Office Online. Come to think about it, I would have liked to know about Office Online, period. You'll find many training and demonstrations about the myriad of aspects of the SharePoint world. Two newer trainings I want to spotlight: We have a new 90-minute series to build complex business solutions for SharePoint Designer (think of it as a 300-400 level class). Need the grand tour of SharePoint Server? Here's a dandy way: download a guide right to your desktop. --Doug

Thanks for posting something Doug. Now, could you just implant that Sharepoint training directly into my brain, please? :-)

I use SharePoint at work (obviously....who doesn't) But I would like to install and use it at home as well.

My question is: Can I install SharePoint on my personal computer? or Would it be simpler to use the OfficeLive Workspace to gain access to my workplaces sharepoint server?

I personally couldn't tell you but just read a blog from someone who could...

http://blog.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=blog.view&friendID=99505684&blogID=409847765  here is the URL to the blog. Her name is Kelli. She is incredibly friendly and nice  I'm sure she wouldn't mind answering questions if you have them.

Her post:

I never thought it was possible BUT...

Current mood:

I just finished an entire week of SharePoint training at Interface Technical in downtown Phoenix. It was the second SharePoint class that I have attended there. I have to tell you…both times I walked away impressed. I have taken A LOT of training classes in my lifetime (AutoCAD, Novell, Web Classes, ITIL, COBIT…the list goes on and on). Each and every one of them was ***. I'm not saying the content was difficult or hard to understand. I just could never force myself to really get into what was being taught. Well I am here to tell you that I have found the secret to training. IT'S THE INSTRUCTOR! The content being delivered in the class is a minor part of the equation. Classroom environment, staff and students play an even bigger role. A good training class is an experience not just a knowledge transfer session. The instructor is the key. He/she sets the tone for the environment. Fortunately for me (and my company) I have met a man by the name of Simon Allardice. He is by far the best instructor that I have ever had. He was able to capture my attention and get me interested. This has never happened before. Simon doesn't read straight from a text book nor does he put you to sleep with slide ware. He SHOWS you how to stuff! He's great at demonstrating what he is teaching. In addition, he is always asking if you have questions and what information the students need for their environments. He knows the product and he knows it well. Notice I didn't say that he knows the content well. He does, but knowing the product is more helpful than knowing just the content. You can throw some crazy questions and scenarios at that man and he knows the answer, even when the question is outside the scope of the curriculum. It was a GREAT training experience. I got more out of that class than just the curriculum content. I got interested. I got into it. I am eager to find even more ways to modify and utilize SharePoint. Simon Allardice made the impossible happen….. He got me excited about SharePoint. I'm reading blogs, watching online videos, posting to forums. I am even considering joining a SharePoint user group. …. Wait, did I just say that? Wow! Guess what it all comes down to is…Simon Allardice has officially turned me into a Geek J hahaha!

Check out Professional SharePoint Server 2007 Administration from the Ted Pattison Group, it is taught by Shane Young, SharePoint MVP. It is available online if you are unable to find a location close enough:

Both suggestions above are excellent recommendations.  I'd like to add that if you are looking for a low cost, self taught solution, try www.itcourseware.com for their 4 day developer class.  I am enjoying their materials on SharePoint.  In addition, it's not location specific.

I attended Aivea's Architecture & Administration training in June.  The class was amazing.  Aivea's trainer was really great at making sure we covered all material that needed to be covered.  They also took us to a great dinner in downtown Portland, which was an added bonus!
