5.0 out of 5 stars Great SPS book, the only one I need in my library, January 28, 2003

By	Sonia Johnston (Chicago, Il) - See all my reviews

I've read through a couple SPS books out there today, returned one, and only consider this one "keepable". It covers eveything I do as a Knowledge Consultant - design/architecture, deploying/setting up, training my users, managing changes, and so on. I can tell that the author has been through all of this many times over. Great job! I only wish a CD was included so I could easily search through the chapters.

3.0 out of 5 stars Great book for administrators, but..., September 12, 2002

By	Sabrina Veksler (New York, NY United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is a great book if you need guidance in installing, configuring and maintaining your Sharepoint Portal Server, however it only touches very briefly on any development techniques involving the Sharepoint APIs and writing any of your own custom code.

Compared to the other books on the market that deal with Sharepoint Portal, this is by far the closest one to what a developer would need, but it still leaves a lot to be desired. I am still waiting for that great Sharepoint technical reference manual that's made especially for developers. So far, none found.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Resource, August 29, 2002

By	D. Tyler Durham "Consultant" (Nashville, TN USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

There are not many SharePoint books out there. Most of them are not that great. This is an excellent resource for SPS administrators or anybody planning a SharePoint deployment.

There are only about two chapters concerned with development for SharePoint, so if you are looking for API documentation, check out the SharePoint Resource Kit at http://www.microsoft.com/SharePoint
