The November 2008 Chapter Meeting

What is SharePoint? What is it good for? What does it look like? If you've only heard of SharePoint, or maybe used it for document management, come for an introduction to  some of the things it can do, and find out whether it's a wiki or a website or a development platform (hint: any or all of the above). SharePoint can be used many ways, and, like most highly extensible technologies, it can be hard to understand without seeing and playing with it.  Jenny  will show you pieces of  her company's intranet, what a custom application can look like, and share what  she's  learned so far about the benefits and drawbacks of a SharePoint intranet.  Time permitting,  she  will touch  briefly on how to get context-sensitive help into a custom SharePoint application.
