I must confess i really love SharePoint. I was a bit of a late-comer though as my previous company had no real interest in it and i was only really aware of it as the “internal website bit in SBS”. I had read a bit about it myself and created some links lists for quick access to Tsweb on the server i needed to manage but that was really it.
When i left for my current job this all changed. I’ll post about what my job actually is some other time but it meant that i could look into SharePoint properly and within a few weeks i was hooked. We use SharePoint here as our information hub. When i open internet explorer in the morning i can see what appointments people have, outstanding support calls, active tasks. We also have customer information, links to firewalls, routers, server and basically any information that we need to do our day-to-day stuff.
Now im talking the 2003 stuff (v2?). Just as i started to consider myself a bit of an expert they go and drop Office 2007 on us! While it was very tempting to fire up a virtual server and drop the Beta on it i resisted. We had several customers who were just “getting” SharePoint and i was still learning stuff myself. I decided to wait for the official release (which i have installed on our SBS now BTW….read this first if your going to do it!)
Anyway i realised yesterday that i haven’t posted a thing about SharePoint. Since i’m going to be learning the new stuff over the next couple of weeks i thought i’d take the opportunity to post more about SharePoint as i figure stuff out.
I’m looking forward to using WSS v3 (and MOSS when i get to that!) and hopefully it will “wow” me as much as the previous stuff did.
