Customer Reviews

Good Book
Excellent book for beginning SharePoint development. From what I have seen so far, it does not get too technical on the SharePoint Architecture, but does seem to cover what most developers are going to be getting in to. Excellent tutorial on setting up development environment. I ended up not using the virtual machine image and built each server individually. Building servers using the vm image was proving problematic. Building the servers individually, the examples worked perfectly.

I would definitely recommend this book for a VB developer getting into SharePoint development.

Best SharePoint 2007 book on the market
This is as close to being a PERFECT computer book as I have ever read. I'm a SharePoint architect/developer with 30+ years of IT experience, and I own every SharePoint title that has been published since SharePoint started shipping 8 years ago. This book is the best. It throughly covers almost every aspect of SharePoint 2007 in layman's (and technical) terms with solid, complete, well-thought examples of every aspect of SharePoint implementation. There is simply page after page where you pause and think "Wow! That's interesting!"
If you only plan to buy one SharePoint 2007 book make sure its this one.
