Hi,

my name is James and I work for a local authority in the south west of scotland. I have been using WSS2 for about three years and we are just moving to MOSS 2007 so this is when all the fun starts ;-)

I'm primarily a .NET developer but I am more interested in learning about what I can get MOSS 2007 to do for me OOB rather than having to tinker at code level.

James :-)

I've seen this book but not read it, looks like a good start for basic OOB stuff:

I've got this one, a really good read but a bit too basic as far as SP goes:

Fantastic for finding ways of building your own training resources to roll out though, you can pick up inspiration for how to deliver your training.

The most powerful OOB tool you're gonna use out of MOSS 2007 has to Business Data Catalogue though,
