Before you actually get to the articles, I like to make a confession here. Lately you guys might have noticed that, I am not blogging quite frequently as I used to do in the past. It does not mean that my love affair with SharePoint has come to an end, its just that I am presently caught up with an big pile of SharePoint Projects or Pre-sales. You can expect to see more of my writings in the coming future. I promise. Back to the post.

I am very excited to read this as soon as possible. Though I didn’t read them yet, I like to recommend fellow SharePointers to find time to go through them.
