Introduction

This two-day instructor-led course will provide you with the skills, tips and tricks to quickly make a SharePoint site Your Site. You will see how to customize navigation, themes, and master pages. This class covers browser based customization, SharePoint Designer customizations and introduces what can be done by developers. This class will cover both those things you can change as a site owner without access to server files, and how to optionally deploy your customizations to the server. This class does not explore workflows, .Net coding or XSL transforms (except for a demo or two).
