Twelfth Chapter
With the Business Connectivity Service is it possible to bring data from external systems into SharePoint and Office, interact with it, reuse it, and empower end users to gain insight into the underlying data in a reusable way. You can create a connection with some easy wizard in SharePoint designer 2010 or SharePoint Workspace 2010 or Visual Studio 2010. You can edit the items directly in SharePoint 2010 after you have render some Query's with the wizard. For the security you need to add the allowed users for editing in SharePoint 2010 Central Administrator. Because this is needed its safe to use and not all users can edit your external data.

Thirteenth Chapter and Fourteenth Chapter
I describe this two chapters together because they are very similar too each other. If you are going to create some website SharePoint give some very nice webarts to edit or create a website. SharePoint has directly a content management tools into the edit mode of a page. Something what is better in SharePoint 2010 are the Analytics options they give you. It is possible to get information of usage of pages and webparts directly in SharePoint.
It is possible to change the look and feel of the SharePoint site by editing or recreating a masterpage from the minimal.master.
Nice pages who are build in SharePoint are:

In SharePoint 2010 there are some new things added to a standard site. Tagging of sites and the i like button are items that are added. Those items give users an idea if other users like the site. The sites that are tagged or liked can come higher in the search results of the site. The tags also can help you to find similar information of a project or product on the site.
New in SharePoint 2010 is the Document Sets with can be used as an folder in a list. It is possible to send a link to a other user like you already could do by a file. It's now also possible to make an unique Id for a document or set. Those unique id's are needed if you need to save contracts digital and you need to let see that the documents not are changed.
