SharePoint-Understanding Key concepts

Understanding Key Concepts by Sharepoint Training Videos.com
Goal:  Fundamental concepts of how Sharepoint is built.

1.  Sharepoint as a series of sites and lists.   Every site having its own lists of things with multiple lists that help you find what you want.  
2. Think of links (and Web Parts) as shortcuts to what you want on a site.   The WebPart is just a display of information, not the item itself.
3. All Site content will display everything, not just what is on the "Landing Page" that has the web parts.   WebParts can filter so not everything will display.  This can be called "Views".
4. Navigation is based on two types.   Global navigation is the tabs at top and controlled by the college.   The left side is usually controlled by the owner.
5. Permissions -   SharePoint will not let you view anything you do not have permission to see.

Very nice video.
