I have seen and read few books on Sharepoint 2010 namely Step-by-Step series from Microsoft and developer books from Apress but this one is the best when tapping into the world of Sharepoint. As an experienced ASP.NET Web Developer I must say it has really leveraged my knowledge about the Sharepoint and helped me to understand the internals in a pretty simple way. I like the way each chapter is presented and authored in a simple English language. This should be the first book to read for anyone want to be a SharePoint consultant.

Great resource for beginners in the SharePoint arena 10 Mar 2011
By Asif Rehmani - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
Just starting out with SharePoint 2010 or even SharePoint in general? The book `Beginning SharePoint 2010 - Building Business Solutions with SharePoint' is an Awesome resource to get your hands on to get you up and running quickly!

First of all, this book is written by veterans (Amanda Perran, Shane Perran, Jennifer Mason, Laura Rogers) in the SharePoint community and not just from an outsider's perspective which helps tremendously since it has been my personal experience (teaching on SharePoint for 6 years now) that it is not the easiest thing to teach effectively.

This book starts directly by hitting on the major areas of SharePoint that a beginner should understand real well to make good use of this platform. Topics like Sites, Workspaces, Lists, Libraries, Workflows, Site Columns, Content Types, Branding and more are discussed in detail. Not only how to use these things, but in which scenarios would you want to utilize each. The business reasoning for using, for example, a particular site or list template is extremely important for the long term success of your SharePoint deployment.

Another really good thing about this book is that it can be used just as well by people who already understand the fundamentals and now want to dive deeper into advanced topics like Records Management, Business Connectivity Services, Forms Server, Search management and of course the understanding of implementing a plan for governing the whole thing. Once you go through these topics in this book, then you get a better understanding for how these pieces all fit together on the platform. However, if you do want a deeper dive on each of these topics, I would recommend picking up a book which covers just that subject.

One more thing I would like to mention is the inclusion of exercises in this book - a great idea in my mind for folks who learn kinesthetically (like myself). Following these exercises, you can actually experience the beauty (as well as the gotchas) of SharePoint.

My recommendation: Buy it for yourself or your end users. It's worth the price!

Great tutorial with details! 20 Jan 2011
By Frippware - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
I'm only 2 chapters into the book, but so far its great. I have read several SP 2010 books in their entirety, so I'm used to the quality of what is out there and while none of what I have read is bad, alot of it isn't as straight forward as this book. I love the try it out sections - very unique! I've searched through the table of contents and index as well as the coverage of topics is very good - comprehensive!

For me, a developer for the most part, this book comes in handy to let me know and try out alot of the functionality that exists through the front end of the product. Development in SP hides in the background and emulates alot of the UI based functionality, but its great to know how to do it both ways. Top that with knowledge of governance and decisions and you too can be a SP analyst!

Good for experienced SharePoint users 25 Sep 2011
By M. Walters - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
This was the first book I read on SharePoint. Although it is good and detailed, I ended up getting a more basic book to learn some of the steps this book skips over. For example, it states that there are three ways to display a picture library, but never explains HOW to change the display.
