Could you, please, recommend good SharePoint books/manuals/online resources for an absolute beginner?
I just installed SP Server 2010 Beta 2 and I am feeling I need more information regarding the concept, page and file structure, in-depth features explanation, development tools, etc. Honestly, I am a bit confused, as I use an Enterprise Wiki (called Confluence) and things seem to be completely different when it comes to usability, pages and file management, approach, etc.
In a long-term, I am planning to use SP on an enterprise level, in particular--collaboration tool, knowledge management/base system, middle tier in BI platform, etc. That's the reason I need to know as much as possible.
Have a look at this link from Arpan Shah of Microsoft who has made a list of great SharePoint 2010 training resources for all levels - beginners to advanced. Hope this helps
