4.0 out of 5 stars SharePoint 2003 ONLY!
Well written with many useful illustrations. However, it is for SharePoint 2003, NOT 2007! Although there is a short chapter in the back about new 2007 features, the author is currently working on a 2007 version of this book, which apparently hasn't been published quite yet.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Book, well written better than MS Press., May 3, 2007
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Beginning SharePoint Administration: Windows SharePoint Services and SharePoint Portal Server (Wrox Beginning Guides) (Paperback)
I recommend this book to anyone who is looking to deploy SharePoint and needs to start from scratch and understand architecture of it. The author did a great job explaining and giving all the tools needed to design and deploy SharePoint successfully. Very easy read and I love the fact that author uses humor in his book makes it easier to read. This is the only book you really need to design, architect and deploy SharePoint. I have done it with great success. Two thumps up!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Good Introduction to the Software, November 19, 2006
This review is from: Beginning SharePoint Administration: Windows SharePoint Services and SharePoint Portal Server (Wrox Beginning Guides) (Paperback)
SharePoint has been a product growing at Microsoft for several years. As is often the case, now in what is basically its third generation it is finally reaching an extremely useful stage.

This book is written by an expert in the Software that has been working as a trainer in the SharePoint for four years. It begins with a basic introduction to the software and follows this with detailed installation instructions.

With a working SharePoint the following chapters each take on one aspect of the software. These can be used independently or studied in sequence to provide an overall insight into the software and what it can do. Finally, in the last chapter he goes on to discuss the changes that will come in SharePoint 2007.

4.0 out of 5 stars Buy instead the later WSS 3.0 / MOSS 2007 version of this book which is now out, February 27, 2008
By 
Most readers should beware. This is a very good book but it is for two back products (WSS 2.0 and SPS 2003).

Buy instead the equally good, but newer, book (published in 2007) from the same author with an almost identical title and cover which is however on WSS 3.0 and MOSS 2007 administration.

4.0 out of 5 stars Very good book to start administration of MOSS 2007 & WSS 3.0, January 16, 2008

This review is from: Beginning SharePoint Administration: Windows SharePoint Services and SharePoint Portal Server (Wrox Beginning Guides) (Paperback)
This is a very good book to start with administration of WSS 3.0 and MOSS 2007. Althought something unclear most parts are clear and step by step lead. Not for developers exactly but developers still get some juice from it. Together with "Beginning SharePoint 2007" by MVPs Amanda Murphy and Shane Perran (do u know they're couple?) these are two great books on the subject currently in market. Worth of money spent!!!
