Getting familiar with SharePoint

[StrangerInBeijing]

Hi,

A potential new "client" want me to get up to speed with SharePoint as they apparantly use it for project management (we are on different ends of the globe, so...)

Never used the thing. Any online demo or sth one can use without a massive download to figure using it? Just been trying the MS online trial but their "will show in minutes" came up with nothing after an hour

http://www.sharepointhostingprovider.com/sharepoint-tutorials/ is just great. I get so lazy reading tutorials nowadays, and love them video's
(hey, if someone know some good free video tutorias for asp.net 3.5 / c#, pass them on will you?)

I'm just going to look at the videos, and not worry about actually using the thing now. No time. At least I wont look to retarded next week when I have to start using it.

Thanks Hack

Typically these two words - good free - are mutually exclusive but I'll see what I can find.
