Introduction

I previously posted a short post about some good links around SharePoint. It proved to be a popular post. Not only providing a set of good posts, but actually pointing to good posts that is worth reading instead of having to pile through those 200 new posts/day in the RSS reader..

With that said, here’s yet another bunch of recent articles that I would like to recommend.

Recommended links, in no particular order
