I'm supposed to be getting involved in some SharePoint development at work soon. But I have no details on the specific project that I'll be working on yet. So I've been doing some general background reading on SharePoint, in the hopes that some of it proves useful.
This book is structured so that each chapter gives you a quick introduction to one aspect of developing for SharePoint. A lot of stuff can be considered under the general heading of "SharePoint development", and the book tries to cover as much as it can. I think it does a good job of covering the basics, and giving a new SharePoint developer a good overview of the various ways in which a developer can interact with SharePoint.
If, like me, you really have no idea where to start with SharePoint, this is a good book to pick up and read through. It covers enough of the basics that it should get you pointed in the right direction. But it's not going to take you very far, once you're actually off and running.

There's nothing useful here for beginners. There's no explanations about how sharepoint works and what is the logic behind the various technologies. Just a long list of features and step by step guides you can easily find on the internet.
I expected a book to help me understand how sharepoint works and what is the practical need for this technology. Practical scenarios so that a beginner understand it's application and function. Practical problems that are solved by the various technologies.
Maybe it's just me, but after reading this book, I still don't understand how sharepoint works. I still don't understand the logic of sharepoint. I need to search a different book to learn these.
