4.0 out of 5 stars Better for the Administrator, September 12, 2007
By Jean Marrapodi "Jean Marrapodi" (Providence, RI United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)      
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This book is great for the SharePoint administrator. Unfortunately, I'm the user creating and populating the sites rather than installing the server. There are a few sections for the user at my level, but I'd anticipated a Dummies book wouldn't be for the techies. I also wish it had more screen shots to demonstrate things, but I suppose it would wind up becoming a 1000 page book then. It's fine for what it is, and I did pick up some tips, so it wasn't a complete waste for me. I found SharePoint 2007 User's Guide: Learning Microsoft's Collaboration and Productivity Platform to be a bit more practical for my needs. I still haven't found THE training resource I need to help others utilize SharePoint the way it was intended.

3.0 out of 5 stars SharePoint 2007 For Dummies, June 27, 2007
By mrh@soundtransit (Seattle, WA USA) - See all my reviews
I ordered this text with the intent of creating and modifying team sharepoint sites. Primarily "end-user" kind of work, however this text is far more technical than what I need. It is more for system administrator, not site administrator. I have since ordered "Sharepoint Designer X for Dummies". I think that will be more what I am looking for but it is not yet available.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Good Overview of What it will do and How to do it, April 6, 2007
Microsoft has been working on SharePoint for quite a while. It's now in it's third release, and as is often the case with Microsoft it has finally reached the point where it is becoming quite useful. The software is now available in two versions, Windows SharePoint Services and Microsoft Office SharePoint Server (MOSS).

One problem with SharePoint is trying to determine just what it is. It's almost like you need to install it, work with it, and then decide if you want it. But basically (in my opinion) SharePoint is a server based (requires Windows Server 2003 or later, SQL Server, the .NET Framework, and IIS) package that provide for data storage and content management of typically Office like files. Among other things it allows multiple people to work on one project which can be a Word document, a system that tracks help desk problems, or any of a number of other collaborative systems.

Ms. Williams has been working with SharePoint since its first release in 2001. In this book she starts from the idea that you need to find one target application to use to convince the company that SharePoint is a good idea. From there she leads on to a mixture of applications, technical aspects, how to's and everything else you need to get a good understanding of SharePoint.
