Hello:

I'm an "old dog" that my company's trying to teach "new tricks". I've been programming legacy applications for 40 years. Last October, our company sent me to a Sharepoint class. This was the first time I had ever heard of Sharepoint, and I knew I was a fish out of water within the first minute!

The class was full of things like caching, viewstates, fiddler, config files, etc.

Well, this was last October. Since then, I've been learning about Sharepoint, but from a user standpoint -- lists and libraries, workflows, etc. And now I finally have access to it -- as a user.

So I'm kind of wondering where all this caching and viewstates comes into play..Is this just the venue of farm administrators? Is there another place where programming skills (i.e. vb.net/c#, asp.net) comes into play?

Thanks,
Jeff
