Sharepoint learning

Question

Where to find a good tutorial to start on Sharepoint, for web design?

Answer 1

Start with MS Learn training content:

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/training/paths/m365-sharepoint-associate/

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/training/modules/build-accessible-sharepoint-sites/

For free third-party instructional content, consider the SharePoint Maven tutorial catalog at https://sharepointmaven.com. This site hosts documentation on site navigation and structure. You might want to also check video playlists available on YouTube at https://youtube.com by searching for specialized channels such as Kevin Stratvert or Leila Gharani, who provide step-by-step design walkthroughs

Answer 2

For starting SharePoint web design and development, the best entry point is the official SharePoint and SharePoint Framework (SPFx) tutorials and training.

For general SharePoint site and page design (no-code/low-code):

• Use the SharePoint help & learning portal to learn how to create and design modern pages, sites, and navigation:
  • Get an overview of SharePoint and how sites, pages, and content work: Get started with SharePoint
  • Then move to the beginner and intermediate topics such as creating document libraries, lists, and customizing navigation, which are key for structuring a well-designed site.

For developer-focused web design (custom web parts, extensions, UI):

• Start with the “Getting started tutorials for SharePoint Framework” to build client-side web parts and customize the UI:
  1. Getting started with SharePoint Framework client-side web parts
  2. Use Office UI Fabric React components in your SharePoint client-side web part – this is especially useful for modern, consistent UI design.
• Then use the “Getting started training modules for SharePoint Framework” for more structured, slide + demo–based learning, including:
  • Getting Started with the SharePoint Framework
  • Developing with the SharePoint Framework: Web Parts
  • Using React and Office UI Fabric React Components

For more advanced/custom scenarios:

• Review the “Additional tutorials for SharePoint Framework” to learn how to:
  • Provision SharePoint assets from web parts
  • Deploy SPFx components to production and Azure CDN
  • Use Microsoft Graph and enterprise APIs for richer, data-driven UI.
• For modern page customization, note that modern pages use modern web parts and do not allow arbitrary custom script for security reasons. For custom UI, use SPFx web parts and extensions as described in the SharePoint Framework overview and related tutorials.

These resources together provide a complete path from basic SharePoint page design to full SPFx-based web UI development.
