Beginning SharePoint 2007: Building Team Solutions with MOSS 2007

by Amanda Murphy, Shane Perran

Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 has improved and changed dramatically over previous versions of the product. The capabilities of the platform have expanded greatly with the inclusion of an automated workflow engine, web content management capabilities, and a vast number of document management enhancements. However, the value of this tool to an enterprise will depend primarily on the ability of individuals in the organization to understand the features and capabilities of the platform and effectively map those to specific business requirements. This book is designed to mentor and coach business and technical leaders in an organization on the use of SharePoint to address critical information management problems. It gives detailed descriptions and illustrations of the product's functionality and also includes realistic usage scenarios to provide contextual relevance and a personalized learning experience to the reader. The mission of this book is to provide extensive knowledge to information workers and site managers that will empower them to become SharePoint Application champions in the organization. This book should be the premiere handbook of any active or aspiring SharePoint expert. To complete the exercises in this book, you should have a basic comfort level using Microsoft Office application to create content and a general understanding of how to interact with a web site through the browser. This book is intended as a starting point for any SharePoint 2007 user whether that user has never used SharePoint before or has some familiarity with a previous version and just wants to understand the differences with the new release.

A good book to help people understand how to get the most from SharePoint as a user. This book is not aimed at administrators but at those who have to use and understand what SharePoint can do.

This is a book that I would recommend to SharePoint users who want a little bit more insight into how they can get the best from SharePoint and how it all works.

The books is well written, has plenty of examples and is generally detailed enough to answer how-to questions. There are plenty of examples that help re-inforce the information provided.

All in all a great book for SharePoint users.

mayan oke sih buat belajar sharepoint, nggak cuma kata2 doang, ada contoh bikin sesuatu step by step disertai skrinsyut.

sayang sekali bab-babnya rada berantakan urutannya, masa administration yg biasanya dilakukan di awal2 malah ada di tengah2 (bab 7 klo ga salah).
buku kantor yg berpindah2 tangan dan kayanya ga ada yg bener2 baca semua isinya sampai selesai (estafetnya dari gw skrg dipegang Deky nih buku hehe)

Must have. Great start for knowing how to set up and configure. Does not cover developing etc, for that get a more focussed dev book.

Enjoyed it a lot.
