Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Nothing Beats the Real World
What a great book. It shows you how things are really done. Showing you examples from start to finish it is a great resources when planning or designing a sharepoint environment. What is best is that most chapters leave you with some many ideas not only from what is written but also what else the MVP's cover.

A Great Work!!



Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - not recommended..much better books are out there
This books lacks rhythm. Being written by multiple authors, its a bumpy ride from chapter to chapter. Most of the examples dont work.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Great book.
Very good practical book on SharePoint. I own several different books on this topic and this one is GREAT!



Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Examples are not working!
Can't someone edit this book before it's published? For example, chapter 9 workflow integrating with InfoPath is not working! There are missing information here and there and I wouldn't have known unless I look at the author website. But still, it doesn't work (your initiation form is missing).

Unless you want everyone in your organization using Visual Studio to post their Word documents, this book is not for you. The section on creating webparts does not work and it contains DEAD LINKS to on-line sites. Ouch! Did anyone edit this thing?

Being written by multiple authors also does not help. The book lacks a continuous voice ... Read More
