Learning SharePoint 2010 and PerformancePoint Services 2010

Drinking from the SharePoint 2010 hydrant…

Not to long ago I was tasked with rapidly learning SharePoint 2010, PerformancePoint Services 2010 and SharePoint 2010 Branding.  The Branding portion has not been as critical but the Business Intelligence piece has been.

Not working with SharePoint since 2006 on SharePoint 2003, my first reaction was “no problem.”  After a little research I realized quickly I was quite wrong.

To help everyone else, here are the primary resources I found readily available to ease the learning process.
