[Road to SharePoint 2010] The Journey Begins Here

I’ve decided to start a new series of articles, called Road to SharePoint 2010. What I’m trying to achieve is to summarize what a SharePoint professional / developer must learn to smoothly transition to SharePoint 2010 when it becomes RTM. I hope that you will find it useful.

Enjoy the journey…
