In this chapter, we have learned about SharePoint Essentials such as search, lists, libraries, content types, Ribbon, site hierarchy, user interface, and site navigation, at a higher level and what is different from SharePoint 2007 in terms of user experience. In the next chapter, we will discuss team sites and how a hierarchy of a portal can be deployed and managed. The topics include site overview, site creation, site security, navigation, and UI-Themes. We recommend that you open the browser and experience each of the discussed topics in this chapter as this will combine practical hands-on experience with the described functionality in the other chapters of the book.

We also recommend that readers who are familiar with the SharePoint 2007 version understand the difference between these versions and how this affects the way they work as some of your tasks can be simply enhanced rather than changed.
