Summary

This chapter highlighted the new features and functionality of the SharePoint 2003 technologies that will assist administrators, end users, and developers to take advantage of SharePoint. The new SharePoint features, especially when used in conjunction with Microsoft Office 2003 and FrontPage 2003, provide administrators with the management and control necessary for overseeing a successful implementation of SharePoint, end users with the tools they need to collaborate with their peers and customize the portal experience to meet their needs, and developers with an infrastructure for developing portal-based applications.

Subsequent chapters of this book provide more detailed information for the installation and configuration of these features along with tips, tricks, and best practices for using them.
