2.0 out of 5 starsNot Useful
By HangOnAmazon on January 5, 2006
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
I purchased the book to help with some web parts development. The part on deploying web parts is just patently incorrect. Even following the author's instructions step by step, I still had problem deploying my web part. The worst part of it is that the book's content simply doesn't match up with what happens in Sharepoint. Perhaps the books was written with an earlier, different version of Sharepoint but it doesn't match up with Microsoft Windows Sharepoint Services 2003. In fact, compared to other sources, the instructions given appear to be missing a step or two.

2.0 out of 5 starsNot enough depth!
By Anwar Bawangaonwala on August 23, 2006
Format: Paperback
If you are looking for indepth explanation of how to exploit different features of Sharepoint then this book is not for you. This book is good if you want and can survive with a high level overview of sharepoint.

If you want to know of things like:

-Branding

-Details of ONet.XML

-How to use FrontPage to edit website.

-Best practices for developing Sharepoint based solutions.

you want a different book.

However this book does have its merits if you are starting with sharepoint and want to get up and running soon. It does have a lot of pointers as to where you can get more detailed information.

I would disagree with most reviews posted on this website which claim that this is a must have book for sharepoint. Use of your discretion is highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 starsWhy Essential SharePoint is a must have...
By Michael K. Reynolds on July 20, 2005
Format: Paperback
Before I opened Jeff Webb's, Essential SharePoint, Microsoft's SharePoint Portal product made me feel like Atticus Finch defending the wrongly accused Tom Robinson in To Kill a Mockingbird - something that desperately needs to be done, but always hoping someone else would attempt the task. Implementing SharePoint was a rather painful process that resulted in two long shifts. After reading and using the Webb's book to help implement SharePoint I now know how useful this book was in making this rollout possible in *only* two shifts.

Having to implement technologies which are new to me is an everyday occurrence. The hardest part about doing so is finding a resource that will get you up and running quickly and without reading a thousand pages. Essential SharePoint is a fly weight at only 310 pages. My first impression was that this book must have left out some important topics to be so short, but that fear was unfounded. The short and precise explanation combined with a great index make this book the reference to have when time is short and understanding the product has to happen overnight. The mystery of document libraries and how to set up documents for approval, as well as make those approved-only documents filter through to other websites was explained in only 18 pages. Admittingly, other books spend multiple chapters devoted to the topic and are probably more thorough, but for the IT implementer who just wants the feature up and running I was able to scan the text and pick out keywords and get this feature going on the first attempt. Needless to say I was sold on the book after this chapter.

Even after our initial rollout, I'm finding this book useful. There are about 80 pages dedicated to the development of web parts.Read more ›

5.0 out of 5 starsThe Missing Manual for SharePoint Office Users
By Mike Williams on July 9, 2005
Format: Paperback
This book is an applied guide to SharePoint for Microsoft Office. It gives great advice on how to design and use SharePoint sites. For instance, the author recommends broad site structures over deep ones because that approach makes search and views work better. Yes! He also explains what workspaces are for and how they are different from document libraries (it would be nice if Microsoft did that!).

This book also explains how to link local copies of documents to SharePoint so multiple authors can work on the same document even when they are away from the office, then reconcile their changes later. For me, that was a key topic.

Essential SharePoint gets more technical as it goes eventually explaining how to program web parts and how to use the SharePoint web services. It's a different approach from most SharePoint books I've read that either assume you are a dummy or an expert: this book explains the simple stuff without talking down to you, and progresses to really tough topics without being obscure.

Finally, Essential SharePoint includes a bibliography of online sources in a "Resources" section at the end of each chapter. Having those links organized by topic is a big help and an acknowledgement that no one book can cover everything.

Overall, it explains SharePoint clearly, throughly, and efficiently. I think "Essential" is the right title.
