From a Business perspective, what does SharePoint brings you?
It shares your content with others, and this, across multiple devices and platforms while maintaining content in one place.

Let’s talk about SharePoint Basics

SharePoint 2013 can be compared to an empty Caddie that needs to be filled.
Just go to the SharePoint Shop and pickup what you need to fill your site.

SharePoint 2013 Home Page is based on the Windows 8 style

Here is the Structure & Fundamental Concepts

Farm
A farm is simply a collection of physical or virtual servers acting as one logical SharePoint environment.

Web Application
Within a farm, SharePoint can be split into Web applications. Each Web application is defined with a set of URLs, related settings and a mapping to one or more Web sites.

Tenant
Within a Web application, SharePoint can optionally provide a logical grouping with the ability to configure settings for multiple site collections independently of other tenants.
This is mainly used by Office 365 for hosting multiple cloud-based SharePoint deployments on a single farm.

Site collection (Site)
A site collection consists of a top-level site, its sub-sites and a certain amount of configuration settings. It is a logical unit for administration.

Site (Web)
A site collection can contain one or more sites.

Lists and libraries
They are similar to a database table or an Excel worksheet.

Items
The SharePoint Content is stored on Lists and Libraries.

A List is used as an Excel sheet:

A library contains documents uploaded like PDFs, PowerPoints, Word Documents, aso…

It’s that simple!
