 Put me to sleep April 6, 2008
Usually Dummies Books are a great way to get into something, and I've been trying to make sense out of Sharepoint administration. Unfortunately this book put me to sleep without clarifying anything.

If you ever run out of toilet paper, don't use those old Sears catalogs, use this book. At least then it will be serving a purpose. I tend to like the "For Dummies" books, but this one was also written by a dummy. There's nothing better when doing server setup to find out about a few pages in that there are other steps you should have done first. The real kicker is that these other steps are not listed. Wonderful! I bought this book based on reviews. Not sure what the others were reading, but this one is garbage. I had it less than 2 days before both myself and the server admin went looking for other books. This book is one to avoid.

Don't by mislead by the title. This is not written by a dummy or intended for dummy readers. This book is very organized and covers important points on approaching testing, getting management on board, avoiding possible implementation problems, and so forth. This book is very practical and hands on. If you're an advanced technical admin of Sharepoint, this is not your book. But if you're someone with a decent IT background and just getting your hands dirty, this is perfect.

Just because its title says, "For Dummies," does not mean you should avoid it. I've got over thirty years in Info Tech and bought this thinking it would be a quick easy read. Well, it is very well written, easy to understand and it is NOT underpowered.
The author knows her stuff and this book gives one a very good start understanding SharePoint so as to be able to approach the product.
Also, if you're really interested, Microsoft has an entire section of their site devoted to this product. You can download the actual product (need FAST connection), and should you choose not to do that, they've created a virtual environment that lets you learn and use the product without installing EVERYTHING (and I do mean everything) on your computer.
That said, this book is really well written, flows logically and will explain enough of SharePoint to give you a head start.
 Excellent Primer on SharePoint January 25, 2008

SharePoint is an umbrella term used to describe a multitude of features and technologies. When people mention SharePoint, they're often referring to the part that is of interest to them, so it's hard to capture what SharePoint really is and what it can do.
This book helped me to install SharePoint and give myself a whirlwind tour of WSS and MOSS in just 3 days. The Author is excellent and the topics are laid out in an order that makes sense. You can just flow from one topic to the next, trying different functionality as you read. It's a great starting point for anyone new to SharePoint who needs to get it up and running and figure out what it is and isn't and what the differences are between WSS and MOSS 2007.
