content types: easier than the theory of relativity
DESCRIPTION
Everyone talks about them, but what the heck are they and how can I use them? We’ll start with some demos of how to use custom content types, then on to what the heck are content types anyway and we’ll end with another demo to build content types in the browser. Although the demos will be in SharePoint Server 2010, the steps to create content types are basically the same for 2007 & 2013.TRANSCRIPT
