6. 5 Stages of Learning SharePoint
Denial – “They aren‟t really going to make me learn this. They‟ll
forget all about it in the next few months and move onto the next
shiny new toy.”
Anger – “What a piece of garbage! This is SO stupid! I can‟t believe
they are making me learn this! It‟s impossible!”
Bargaining – “Okay.. How about this, I‟ll do support 24/7 for the rest
of my life, just don‟t make me learn this!”
Depression – “It‟s hopeless. I‟ll never learn this. I wonder
McDonalds is hiring?”
Acceptance – “Well, it looks like I have no choice… maybe it won‟t
be that bad? Hey! At least it will look good on my resume? And I hear
there‟s this magical think called „SharePint‟”

9. SharePoint is a PLATFORM
“A ‘platform’ is a system that can be programmed
and therefore customized by outside developers
— users — and in that way, adapted to countless
needs and niches that the platform’s original
developers could not have possibly
contemplated, much less had time to
accommodate.”
- Marc Andreessen, Netscape
