SHARE POINT IS EASY...........................................


Is Microsoft Sharepoint hard to learn?


Or is it easy enough to learn that I could learn it in a couple of weeks for a job?


SharePoint is big platform that can do a ton of things. It is not hard to learn the user-level basics (uploading files, accessing files, searching for things via tags, etc.), but there are a LOT of extra things you can do with it that do take some time to learn. If you represent yourself as being proficient in it I would think that your employer would expect you to be able to do the higher-level fancy stuff. 

Also, using SharePoint as just an average user is one thing, but many workplaces have someone behind the scenes who is setting up or administering the SharePoint site, and that is again much harder (companies also pay consultants thousands of dollars to do this for them). It's really customizable so there is a lot you can do.

If you like diving in and learning new platforms and you are pretty savvy about this kind of thing already, I think you can learn SharePoint well, but you likely won't be able to do an overnight crash course and fool someone into thinking you are a SP expert when you're not.


1. Be (or become) really good at solving problems
2. Have access to a SharePoint environment.
3. Get some real-world problems to solve
4.Get to know SharePoint’s user interface really well
5. Learn to do things the SharePoint way
6. Find a mentor
7. Learn the internals of SharePoint
8. Learn .NET
9. Get to know the Windows Infrastructure ecosystem
10. Build solutions, not customizations

Based on my experience it depends on just one questions if you're good at working with SharePoint or if you fail. You can be a good developer but if you don't understand your customers pains points you fail. You can be a skilled end user but if you're forced to switch your daily working routine and tools you won't use the full potential of SharePoint.
That's why it's most important to fully understand why your current working environment may not be efficient. Why you do work which may be already done. Why you try to learn something someone else might already know.

What is SharePoint?

You are an Information Worker. I'm an Information worker. The whole day we try to find information, use it and store it. At the end we have new information which can be used to make a decision. But is our decision right? Did we miss something? We need to justify our decision and because of that it has to take everything into account.
"I need something to store, to manage and to retrieve information, to find a person who may have the information I need and to access it from anywhere. I also need something that not only gets information I also need something thatpreparesvisualizes it or sorts it by relevance."
"An application that can do all the things will have a great impact on my performance during my working day."
