Customer Reviews

Beginner
I was faced with a project that could best be implemented with SharePoint, but I lacked experience, hence this book. It is an introductory book that presumes no foreknowledge of the subject and leads the reader incrementally through the features of SharePoint. The enclosed CD contains an eBook and the files for the chapter lessons. The print and page layout adhere to the proven format that makes the Step-by-Step series fruitful tutorials. The topics include:

*Build your own SharePoint site with easy-to-use templates
*Create lists and libraries to store information
*Add discussion boards, wikis, and blogs
*Set up Document and Meeting Workspaces for easy collaboration
*Share calendars, contacts, and data from Microsoft Office programs
*Customize your pages with Web Parts


This is authored by some of the same experts who have written advanced books about SharePoint, and their knowledge is evident in this lucid introduction. Elementary - as it should be for beginners.

General User Guide
This is a good book for someone new to SPS or for someone creating content. It is not a technical administrator guide. I would have given it 5 stars if they had spent some more time on the architecture overview and provided any coverage on the integration with pre-2007 Office.

Great reference book
I bought this book to help me on supporting SharePoint on the fly. So far, it has saved my behind. All the quick, basic, get-to-know-right-away stuff is all in here.
