5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent technical introduction (or update guide) for WSS 3.0 and MOSS 2007, 7 Nov 2007

By	flyonthewindscreen02 (Lincolnshire, UK) - See all my reviews

Finding a good book for SharePoint Products and Technologies (SPT) was more challenging than I thought. But look no further!

This book was written by a group of SharePoint experts and it provides a thorough technical overview of both WSS and MOSS yet remains easy to read. This book is aimed at Administrators but may be very useful for developers too who want to look at the bigger picture. I can highly recommend it as it covers everything I was looking for:

- functionality provided by WSS and MOSS
- difference between Windows SharePoint Services (WSS) and Microsoft Office SharePoint Server (MOSS)
- changes compared to the previous versions (2003)
- benefits of the changes, incl examples

But judge for yourselves - here is the table of contents:

Chapter 1: Introducing Microsoft Office Sharepoint Server 2007
Chapter 2: Changes in the WSS Architecture
Chapter 3: Installing SharePoint 2007
Chapter 4: Configuring a Multiserver Farm
Chapter 5: Designing SharePoint Sites
Chapter 6: Understanding the Datasheet and Explorer Views
Chapter 7: Applying Templates, Page Layouts, and Themes
Chapter 8: Creating Web Parts
Chapter 9: Creating and Managing Document Workspaces and Libraries
Chapter 10: Creating and Managing Meeting Workspaces
Chapter 11: Creating and Managing Discussions
Chapter 12: Creating and Managing SharePoint Groups and Users
Chapter 13: Creating and Managing Picture Libraries
Chapter 14: Creating and Managing Lists
Chapter 15: Business Intelligence and SharePoint
Chapter 16: Sharing Contacts and Meetings with Outlook
Chapter 17: Creating, Editing, and Managing Word Documents with SharePoint
Chapter 18: Creating, Editing, and Managing Excel Documents with SharePoint
Chapter 19: Creating in SharePoint Designer 2007
Chapter 20: InfoPath and SharePoint
Chapter 21: Designing SharePoint My Sites
Chapter 22: Applying Security to Your SharePoint Site
Chapter 23: SharePoint Administration
Chapter 24: Upgrading from SharePoint Portal Server 2003
Chapter 25: Using Server-Side and Client-Side Web Parts
Chapter 26: Using SharePoint Web Services
Chapter 27: Using SharePoint Server for Search

1.0 out of 5 stars Very, very far from Definitive, 15 May 2009

By	Steven C. Esson - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I bought this book to help in getting me up to speed on Sharepoint. It's been next to my keyboard ever since and I can honestly say I never once looked anything up in the book and actually found it. For example, STSADM is pretty important in Sharepoint--- no useful coverage at all. What about Managed Paths-- also nothing, or Alternate Access Mappings, which is quite a misunderstood area, -- 6 lines of text. It came to the point where I was looking for stuff in this book already thinking, " I bet they've nothing about this or that either".

The book is filled with hundreds of largely useless screenshots which appear to serve no purpose other than to show what a screen looks like when it would have been enough to just describe the breadcrumb trail.

Also, the index is quite bad: for example, STSADM has one reference in the index that points to page 524 only, where the word STSADM is merely mentioned. "...backup and restore can be performed using...STSADM..", but, the actual commands are shown on page 535 which is not mentioned in the index.

I chose this book from a host of others because O'Reilly everything usually have been the definitive guides in my experience but this one should have a turkey on the cover.

Many, many important things are left out of this book and yet they still try to cover Sharepoint Designer in 20 pages of useless screenshots.

Definitve Guide? Most definitely not. Perhaps the other O'Reilly Sharepoint offerings are more useful, but this one looks like it was designed by commitee.
