Obviously, this does not mean you shouldn’t look for proper training in class or online. However, sometimes we just need to brush up on our SharePoint knowledge and this should help with just that. I’ve also been getting a lot of requests to cover workflows, something I’ll look into very soon should I get more time. There are many more articles on our blog and I invite you to register or subscribe to keep getting updates. I hope this helps and don’t be shy to communicate with me by leaving a comment if you are looking for specific content in the future.
