SharePoint 2013 Getting Started

SharePoint 2013 is the latest incarnation of the popular collaboration software from Microsoft. The user interface is a bit intimidating in comparison to the previous version.

Lets start creating a Site Collection using the SharePoint Central Administration.

Here I am creating a Team Site, which is the most popular SharePoint site.

The site template section has been trimmed a lot. There are no meeting sites.

The site Setting option is now found in the top right hand side of the page.

There you see the familiar options like Edit Pages. 

In SharePoint 2013 Lists and Libraries has been renamed too Apps.  

Even the popular Calendar in know as an app.
