Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Practical and Powerful
Fantastic instructional materials on how to use SharePoint Designer 2007 effectively! I made the mistake early on of buying SharePoint books that focused on infrastructure-related topics on SharePoint. This book provides practical and powerful insights on how to exploit the user-facing capabilities of SharePoint. I was cautious about purchasing a Step-by-Step series book due to my past experiences reading books in the series that had what I believed to be superficial content. This instance broke ...

Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Good content but one problem...
I'm a novice to SharePoint Designer so I wanted to find a book that would walk me "step by step" through the process. The content was good but what was frustrating was that the author kept referring to a fictitious company, "Consolidated Messenger..." but the files or links were not available. If a book references files that will enable you to work through scenarios, with accompanying images in the book, the reader should be able to access them.





Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - No Practice Site on CD/Unable to do excercises/
The Microsoft Office Share Point Designer 2007, loooks and feels like the same for the Office 2007, but the drop back is that you can no make any of the excersices due that it use a site that does not exist on the internet for pracice. I do not recomend this book.
I was planning to used it for a Web Designer Class in the university, but I encounter this big problem. It is imposible to learn if you do not have a way to practice the excercises. I was force to use to used the 2003 Front Page program, ... Read More



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Outstanding resource
Great book for the advanced information worker that needs to do work on Sharepoint.

Supporting Sharepoint in our organization as well as being president of a local Sharepoint user group, I do see one common problem - people using Sharepoint Designer that have no understanding of the underlying technology. So let me reiterate: Sharepoint Designer is for the ADVANCED Sharepoint user.

The reader of this book should have a basic understanding of programming concepts and working ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Great Developer Resource
We are just finishing up our first SP project and this book was INVALUABLE resource. If you are doing SP work you should get this book!

Sharepoint Designer is not only for SP projects, it is also a great xhtml & javascript editor, with nice intellisense! It is making my life much easier.

I know of no other resource that has so much on SPD and I doubt there is anything in print that has more on it.

When you are buying SPD, buy this book as well - you will thank me later!
