A passable attempt at documenting SharePoint Server 2007, but it leaves alot out. It mostly covers Windows SharePoint Services with a hint of SharePoint Server 2007, for example it mentions My Site and personalization, but does not touch Excel services, or BI. No one book is ever going to cover everything you need to know about SharePoint, so you will have to buy more than one. But don't buy this one. If you are a user of SharePoint technology or a site administrator, then you will be better off buying Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 Step-by-Step, by Olga Londer and Beginning SharePoint 2007: Building Team Solutions with MOSS 2007 by Amanda Murphy and Shane Perran.

Simply, it's the best book that I have found to pass out to "users" of SharePoint--people who need and want to do things. It touches on the "possiblities" and for any thinking person, it provides a wealth of ideas. It's not about the systems and technology and for that I appreciate it. I would like it to stretch more into how to integrated SharePoint with other tools, e.g Excel and Access; but, I realize the difficulty in doing that. For that, another book.

Very helpful
21 Sep 2007
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
Recommended for "Power-Users," or those people that are comfortable working in Office, etc. Not for techies, per se, and perhaps a bit much for the average user. Get it for those people that will comfortably read a 300 page book on a computer program and then actually do something with it. Don't get it for those whose permissions you wouldn't dare leave without significant restrictions.
Has been very helpful to me as someone new to SharePoint. Only 4 stars because it's a bit much for the average user that we have in our organization -- I 'm not sold that I could distribute this as a User's Guide and expect increased understanding of how it works from the typical user. Perhaps it takes this much detail to present the information, but the lack of a general "how-to" or "quick-start" section makes me think that most users will be intimidated by the size and scope of the book and never crack it open.
However, from a Power User perspective, this book is excellent. The writing is clear and well-organized. I've been able to find just about everything I've needed to understand and answered most questions that have come to mind. I like how the book presents the different choices available, without shoe-horning you into the author's preferred choice. Comparing it to explanations available online, the information it typically presented better in this book.

User's Guide great for its intended audience
5 Jun 2007
Format:Paperback
For any orgnaization that is implementing SharePoint for end-user use, this book is an extremely valuable. The documentation on Microsoft's website and within the help links within the Sharepoint portal are nearly unusable for an end-user, and definitely cannot be used as an initial learning guide. This book takes up the slack. If you have "power" end-users in your organization who will be using the out-of-the-box features of Sharepoint to customize their portals, this book is for them. It can also be used as a reference for learning how to implement features and navigate through the various setup menus.
S. Taylor (stusrt) - This is not a technical reference - it is for end users - "SharePoint 2007 User's Guide". While this book touches on how to programatically customize Sharepoint, it is not the main purpose. Once you have programmed your portal, and now need to release it to end users, give THEM this book. You'll be happy about how few questions you will get back about using Sharepoint, since they will be well informed.

Great for both new Sharepoint users and updaters alike - clear and concise! Also a handy reference...
20 April 2007
Format:Paperback
Our company has used Sharepoint 2003 extensively, and have deployed many business applications on this platform. We have a migration program to Sharepoint 2007 going now, and this book has been the best resource to educate our end users and business managers on the new features and functionalities of this version.
I would recommend the book to fresh users being introduced to Sharepoint 2007 and to users trying to migrate to the new version, as its the simplest way to learn how to navigate through all the key features of the product. The book is concise, well written, and just the right reference guide to keep handy to become a power user of Sharepoint.
