"There is no such thing as SharePoint"

This week I get to be a student in the SharePoint for Developers class at Interface taught by Simon Allardice.  The courseware was written by Mr. Allardice himself, and is the best format I have ever seen.  Instead of the typical "powerpoint" slide format common even of Microsoft courseware, his materials are incredibly visual.  Just flipping through the courseware I see screenshot after screenshot with annotations that really make the whole experience seem less intimidating.

I personally have never developed in SharePoint, so I look forward to a great class.  Of course, in Simon's typical (unique) fashion, he started the class off by informing us "There is no such thing as SharePoint."  With that said, I will keep you posted as to what he means in subsequent blogs througout the week.
