This book provides a great overview of most of the features and functionality you will need to implement a portal solution using Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007. It not only discusses the features of SharePoint but it provides great tips and techniques on issues like planning, migrating, creating and governing your portal solution.

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - A SharePoint book for the end user, and their managers.
Unlike most SP books out there at the moment, isn't all about how to install, set-up, administer, and write custom code for a SP deployment. It's much more aimed at end users, and people who need to plan a collaboration strategy around a shared knowledge base.

While a lot of it is management-theoretical in the first few chapters, it's sensible advice that gets one to think about things that are necessary to address, but wouldn't automatically have come to mind. The central message ... Read More

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - A good book that fills in the gaps
I have done a number of sharepoint implementation as a consultant, and I would say that this book offers the same type of strategy I've known for the last few years. When tackling a sharepoint implementation a number of questions are needing to be answered. Most people do not know what to ask and what to take into consideration. I would say if you read this book, you'll at least have the basic questions ready and an understanding on how to match the portal capabilities to the needs of the organization. ... Read More



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Good overview of MOSS 2007 Features
Good overview of the product. Give architects and generalists a quick feature listing, with some depth on working with the features. If you're a developer it will help you know what's there to work with, but no real coding samples. If you're an administrator, then this definately is helpful.
