SharePoint is certainly a huge platform to learn and certainly was daunting to me when I first jumped in. What do you think? What advice would you offer someone completely new to SharePoint so they could succeed, whether from an IT Pro perspective or Dev perspective?
Certainly, I would suggest being involved in the community (such as this site) and reading everything you can find. It would be most beneficial to work closely with someone that has a good understanding of SharePoint (which I have not had, much to my dismay).
I have been working with SharePoint on and off for 2 years now and am still such a newbie and may be for some time.
Thanks in advance for your feedback. 🙂
I would set yourself a simple task e.g. create a helpdesk system from scratch.
My personal feeling is that you will learn much more in a business context rather than just going through the various facets of the system.
