 Essential SharePoint
Why isn't there a book for SharePoint web admins??? This book was completely useless.
 Not enough depth!
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.
br /
br /If you want to know of things like:
br / -Branding
br / -Details of ONet.XML
br / -How to use FrontPage to edit website.
br / -Best practices for developing Sharepoint based solutions.
br /you want a different book.
br /
br /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.
br /
br /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.
I returned this book.
I've never returned a book to Amazon before, but I did return this one. I got more out of 10 minutes just using SharePoint than I did going through this book.
br /
br /Several of the examples didn't even work - don't waste your time.
 If you are a web developer, this book is for you
I am a web developer and bought this book to learn about SharePoint, which seems to be gaining in popularity.
br /The book was perfect for me. The first half or so of the book explains what SharePoint can be used for and then takes you through quite a few exercises actually using the tool.
br /The second half covers a lot of ground focusing on developing web parts and how to program access to SharePoint from various Office applications like Word and Excel and also .Net.
br /The text is easy to follow (and not verbose), works very well with the numerous illustrations and everything is explained clearly and straight to the point.
br /If you are a web developer, this book is for you.
Best Book on WSS 2.0
This book focuses on WSS and gets you up and running quickly. There are extensive examples, all of which work as described. The info on integrating with Office (chapters 4, 5, and 6) are the best resources on the subject available in my opinion.
br /
br /The web part chapters (8 and 9) take you further in 60 pages than the entire Rational Guide (which I returned). The built web part samples are available from the author's site, as is an "Ask Jeff" forum where you can get answers if you get stuck. More authors should do that!
