From Barnes & Noble
The Barnes & Noble ReviewThe authors of Microsoft SharePoint Bible have built a company around the design, development, hosting, and implementation of SharePoint sites. (Among their clients: Microsoft.) These authors’ careers depend on their expertise, and their success is proof of it. They’re just the folks you want explaining Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 and Windows SharePoint Services to you.
If you’ve never deployed SharePoint technology before, the opening section of Microsoft SharePoint Bible offers you a complete primer on doing so. You’ll learn how to choose the right SharePoint products and topology; plan for success; then walk through installation, post-installation configuration, and creating your first operational SharePoint site.
Once you’re running, there’s step-by-step coverage of customizing site functionality around your organization’s needs: designing portal structures; defining collections; using wikis and other site templates; leveraging page libraries; and implementing effective navigation. There’s a detailed chapter on lists, and one on Microsoft’s powerful Web Parts: prefabricated solutions for everything from business dashboards to search and Outlook integration.
Those are the basics -- but that’s just the beginning of what you’ll find here. There are extensive, multi-chapter sections on both content management and business intelligence, two of today’s highest-value opportunities to use SharePoint. You’ll find thorough coverage of workflow and process improvement, plus a sizable chapter on tracking business performance with SharePoint’s KPI list templates. There are detailed chapters on security; and on gaining even greater control of Web Parts via SharePoint Designer. In short, whatever your background with SharePoint, and whatever your goals, this book’s full of stuff you can use. Bill Camarda, from the June 2007 Read Only
