Resources for MOSS 2007 and WSS 3.0
I recently had a chance to participate in delivering a MOSS 2007/WSS 3.0 "Make It Real"-training in Germany (thanks for hosting us, guys). It was a great week of collaboration, finding solutions for technical issues and giving and receiving real life experiences from SharePoint engagements. As part of the training I whipped together a quick list of useful resources that aims to help people who are starting or have started their SharePoint journey sometime ago. I'm sharing this list with you - it's nothing magical, it's by no means complete or comprehensive - it's just a list of "good things to check":
