Not much blogging lately – mainly ‘cos of 1) putting together a Sharepoint 2007 Intranet prototype for work and 2) studying for my dual MCTS exams. I’m on a Firebrand bootcamp this week, did the first exam today – 70-631 (scored 945) for WSS configuration. Two  more days of training, then I’ll be doing 70-630.

MCTS: Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 – Configuration

Since this is stuff I deal with day-to-day at work, and WSS 3.o isn’t massively different to 2.0, it’s been fairly straightforward so far (although I have learnt lots of new stuff about firewall configurations and network load balancing – didn’t expect that). However, from working with it for the past few weeks, it seems that MOSS 2007 is a whole new ball game compared to Portal Server 2003, so I’m both looking forward to, and dreading, the next couple of days.I’m keen to learn how all the new stuff works, but it’s going to be hard un-learning four years  or so of SPS2003…!
