I purchased this book to prepare for the 70-542 exam. The book is very well written and its just hard to believe that so many concepts were covered in just 300 odd pages. Please note that this book is for developers and not for administrators. The book covers development concepts for search, BDC, infopath forms services, excel services, policies, records center and more.
I absolutely loved the way Patrick had a flow of thoughts going on in the book. It made absolute sense. Also, The chapter on BDC is probably the most comprehensive BDC coverage I have seen till date at one place. If you dont know anything about BDC and read this chapter, thats all you would need to know.
I just loved it.

The author presents a pretty good sampling of how-to material (it would be difficult to get full coverage of MOSS without a multi-volume issue) but falls a bit short of what I might expect from an "Inside..." title. I would have liked to see more detail on some of the deeper architectural workings of MOSS. The author no doubt knows product extension with .NET well and provides an abundance of attention - especially to search customization development. To the author and publishers' credit, the book is targetted to a developer audience. All in all a solid effort.

I received the book I wanted at a great price. It arrived promptly in new condition in my mail box.

Currently helping me jump right in to a project, and it seems to be doing the job. I don't have any other sharepoint books to compare this to, but I like it so far.

Even for Standard Shipping, the book shipped right away and arrived in Miami, FL in good condition. Thanks again!

I recently purchased Inside Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007, the biggest product rollout in Microsoft's history. I'm hoping to land a job using this important package.....wish me luck.

Patrick does a great job giving you a firehose approach to MOSS 2007 development. I love the chapter on customizing search using the API... fantastic!

I got this book at great price and the delivery was fast . No problems at all.
