Oh man, life is sometimes though when you are a trainer. This week I'm in Internet City (Dubai) again delivering training for Microsoft EMEA. It's always an experience (positive though) to deliver trainings in this region. People are so enthousiastic about technology and definitely about SharePoint. Yesterday, there was a day targetting the more business-oriented people. So many business cards to process :). What's my next destination? Qatar? Bahrein? Kuwait? I get the impression that here in the Middle East, most business folks are much more technology minded than anywhere else in the world asking many questions about the possibilities and the limitations of the products included in the 2007 Office System. Very interesting discussions by the way. One thing is for sure, there is a lot of opportunity to do training and consultancy here in the region.
Today started very chaotic with the technical training (I heard this is very normal). 28 attendees registered, about 40 showed up resulting in many discussions about the seats. You gotta keep your calm at that moment :). Fortunately, things got resolved and I finished the day without additional problems. Again, very enthousiastic students jumping from one question to the other. Key message today: 'WSS is a development platform'. I know many MS sales people don't like me saying this to partners :).
What's all this to do with the title of this post? Nothing of course, only that I got a question 'Where can I learn more about the SharePoint Designer?'. Interesting question because there is almost zero documentation, and I have not seen any real books ready for publishing on the subject. Luckily the SharePoint Designer product team decided to start blogging. I am expecting a lot from you guys and girls! Spread the message about your great product!
