About the Author
Stephen Cummins was one of the earliest established experts on SharePoint. He set up the first blog about the platform (www.spsfaq.com
) in 2001 and has continued to share what he's learned since then in many forms of media. Since 2001, he has worked with more than 50 clients on three continents and learned a great deal about a great many businesses and people along the way. He has also learned many lessons about what makes the SharePoint platform adopted, valuable, and resilient. He has eight SharePoint Most Valuable Professional (MVP) awards as well as four Microsoft Certified Technical Specialist (MCTS), two Microsoft Certified Professional (MCP) and two Microsoft Certified IT Professional (MCITP) certificates. He is currently preparing to become a Microsoft Certified Master (MCM).
He lives in Ireland with his wife, daughter, three dogs, and an ever-changing number of goldfish. Hobbies-wise he writes science fiction, surfs and plays the ukulele. He likes to write about himself in the third person, too.
