is there a sharepoint "home" version that I can install and use for home learning purposes?
Thanks

Developers can take anywhere from three to six months before they can take full advantage of all that SharePoint has to offer. Those who just want to perform admin tasks may also need to learn about the functions for at least three months.
Is SharePoint easy/hard to learn? As with so many other software and cloud platforms, SharePoint becomes more complicated the deeper you delve into its features and nuances. Learning the basics of its document management and storage is relatively straightforward for anyone familiar with how similar systems work.
