A Good Overview of What it will do and How to do it April 6, 2007
John Matlock (Winnemucca, NV)
29 out of 33 found this review helpful

Microsoft has been working on SharePoint for quite a while. It's now in it's third release, and as is often the case with Microsoft it has finally reached the point where it is becoming quite useful. The software is now available in two versions, Windows SharePoint Services and Microsoft Office SharePoint Server (MOSS).

One problem with SharePoint is trying to determine just what it is. It's almost like you need to install it, work with it, and then decide if you want it. But basically (in my opinion) SharePoint is a server based (requires Windows Server 2003 or later, SQL Server, the .NET Framework, and IIS) package that provide for data storage and content management of typically Office like files. Among other things it allows multiple people to work on one project which can be a Word document, a system that tracks help desk problems, or any of a number of other collaborative systems.

Ms. Williams has been working with SharePoint since its first release in 2001. In this book she starts from the idea that you need to find one target application to use to convince the company that SharePoint is a good idea. From there she leads on to a mixture of applications, technical aspects, how to's and everything else you need to get a good understanding of SharePoint.

Excellent book for SharePoint Administrators June 15, 2007
Carol Cox (Orlando, FL USA)

This is a great book to get you familiar with what SharePoint offers and what it can do for your organization. The author covers everything from initial installation and configuration to setting up the SharePoint sites. She explains the terminology and concepts very clearly. Plus, she goes beyond the tech-speak and gives real-world examples of how SharePoint can be used and how to sell SharePoint to your organization (advantages for collaboration and communication). I highly recommend this book to anyone who is interested in learning about SharePoint and/or has been tasked with installing and/or administering SharePoint. Before you read anything else on SharePoint, read this book.

Excellent Primer on SharePoint January 25, 2008
William P. Aven (Half Moon Bay, CA United States)
5 out of 6 found this review helpful

SharePoint is an umbrella term used to describe a multitude of features and technologies. When people mention SharePoint, they're often referring to the part that is of interest to them, so it's hard to capture what SharePoint really is and what it can do.

This book helped me to install SharePoint and give myself a whirlwind tour of WSS and MOSS in just 3 days. The Author is excellent and the topics are laid out in an order that makes sense. You can just flow from one topic to the next, trying different functionality as you read. It's a great starting point for anyone new to SharePoint who needs to get it up and running and figure out what it is and isn't and what the differences are between WSS and MOSS 2007.

Excellent Book May 14, 2007

This book is the best way to get into a solid understanding of MOSS 2007 and all the features of WSS. The author is excellent. Once again she proves that she is the best in thE biz. Her 2003 book was solid as well. I believe that anyone would find incredible value in her delivery, insight and guidance. This book is a must have for anyone looking at SharePoint 2007. I have bought this for everyone who is looking at MOSS 2007 or I have told them to pick it up. You cannot go wrong. This book is the best SharePoint book hands down.
