4.0 out of 5 stars Great prescriptive guide for setting up a SharePoint extranet, May 15, 2006

By	E. Hansen - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

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.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great view of adapting SharePoint to an extranet, July 19, 2006

By	P. Lawrence Jr. (Los Angeles, CA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

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.
