Unfortunately, there aren’t a ton of good books on SharePoint out there for the average computer user (i.e. not an IT person). Because of this, the books I’ve read automatically get a bit of a boost because there’s not much else available.

The thing that irritated me most about this book is that they don’t separate the WSS applications from the MOSS applications. In a nutshell, WSS is free and has limited capabilities; MOSS is the add-on that costs lost of money and can do more. Since my company is waiting to purchase MOSS, I found myself having to skim through large portions of the book to find the things I can do currently, since we only have WSS.

Even with this problem, I felt the Dummies Guide was set up well and it’s easy to find answers for specific questions when they come up.

It’s just a rather tedious read from cover to cover.

these dummies books aren't always good for tech stuff but this is a broad application so it helps to get a broad overview and all the specifics will follow, great book!

Great tutorial, but REALLY dry - have to read it for work and use it as a reference.
