In this first chapter, we learned what SharePoint is and why we should choose SharePoint Designer for developing SharePoint sites.

We also installed SharePoint Designer and learned to connect to an existing SharePoint site. We are now nicely set to continue with the rest of the book.

In the next three chapters, we will become familiar with adding basic content to our site. We will then move on to discover how to collaborate with contributors and connect with databases before spending time on the final four chapters of the book, using Web Parts to extend the functionality of our sites.
