Free SharePoint Developer Resources
I love to learn by watching videos, seeing how someone else accomplishes a task so that I can replicate that in my own environment. Did you know that there are a ton of resources available for you to learn how to develop using SharePoint? I have been providing this list to a number of customers recently, and thought it made sense to post for everyone to see. In this post, you’ll find a wealth of material including free online videos to help you learn how to developing using SharePoint.
