Book Description

Extranets allow business clients to access parts of a company's private network via the Web. They allow companies to directly share information without having to request the information and wait for it to arrive. Examples include tracking packages through FedEx.com and UPS.com.

SharePoint is all about sharing information, whether with colleagues or business partners. Using the Web, different people can access the same document and note any changes that have been made to it.

This book explains how SharePoint programmers can modify networks to create a client extranet. As web-based data-collection continues to grow, enabling real-time movement will be more and more essential.

What I like about this guide is its direct, how-to approach. It presents a best-practice architecture for an extranet environment using SharePoint 2003, then wastes no time providing the step-by-step instructions for doing so. It's not a huge reference tome - only 212 pages - so there's not a lot of wasted prose. Just presecriptions and good example code. If you're looking for quick answers to setting up a secure intranet with SharePoint 2003, this is a good book to check out.

This book brought together and clarify many white papers from Microsoft into an working example for SharePoint as a extranet. It was great to see explanations from someone that has successfully created a extranet SharePoint install and documented the pit falls of this process.
