SharePoint 2013 Technical Training Materials Are Here!

Hey folks, just an FYI that we are finally ready to start peeling back the kimono on the next version of SharePoint, which we are calling SharePoint 2013. In addition to today's announcements, we've released quite a bit of technical content on the new version up on Technet. I had the good fortune to help work on this along with several good friends from Microsoft. So run on down and grab your copy of some IT Pro goodness for SharePoint 2013 and let us know what you think. You can find the content at https://technet.microsoft.com/en-US/sharepoint/fp123606.
