I'm trying to encourage a team unfamiliar with SharePoint to use SharePoint to share knowledge and collaborate as well as using a shared calender as they would their own in Outlook. To try to make site homepage as informative a possible to users, is it possible to display forthcoming team calendar events (the next 5, for example) in a section on the homepage? Any guidance in laymans temrs please - as I'm new to SharePoint. Thanks.

Yes you can do this with no code solution
- Edit the Page
- And select Insert Web Part
- Now choose the calendar in question
- Create a new view and set following
- Item limit = 5
- Filter condition is Start Date > [Today]

Thanks for you swift response Amal - much appreciated. When following your guidance, I'm inserting the whole calendar (month view). Can I reduce the size of the calendar on the homepage and to show the next 5 events? Jan 13, 2015 at 15:42

@AndrewHood yes, edit the webpart property and you can see the view it is using. You should change the view as I mentioned in the answer. Jan 13, 2015 at 15:44
