Decent Book - Focused on Programming not exam Prep |
This is a pretty good book for someone learning Sharepoint Services 3.0. Unlike a lot of other similarly named books, this one is focused on developing basic sharepoint programming techniques, as opposed to configuration. I bought this book, since it is recommended by Microsoft for the 70-541 certification exam. However, this book does not specifically point out which areas of the book are needed for the cert and which isn't. For example: if you are prepping for the cert, skip the Ajax section - it is worthless. Other areas are good, though.
One improvement that could be made - a DVD (or an FTP link) for a Virtual Machine that has a properly configured Sharepoint setup. Alternatively, a step-by-step appendix which shows how to configure and install all the needed tools, similar to the beginning of Mastering Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 (Mastering).
Overall, it's a good book for learning how to program against Sharepoint... IF you know how to set up your dev environment. Do NOT use it as your sole information source, if you are prepping for the 70-541 exam.
Hope this helps! |

A great resource for WSS Development |
This book has been a lifesaver for me while doing WSS Development. It seems like every obstacle I've run into this book has gotten me out of it. I would like to find a companion CD - It seems like some of the examples are missing crucial pieces of information that would be solved by having the entire sample project. Also it can be difficult to know exactly where to put the snippets of code that are used in the book.
The lack of the CD is my only reason for giving it 4 stars instead of 5. Do not let that keep you from getting the book if you're doing WSS Dev. |

best book to understand WSS 3.0 |
|
This book covers all the basics and inner working you need to know about WSS. The code examples are also good. Great book if you are preparing for 70-541 |

An excellent book |
|
I was very selective on picking out a book on SharePoint. I needed a crash course and this book provided it. I hired consultants to help me with my project and they noticed it on my desk and mentioned how helpful it was for them as well. |

It was ok |
A decent overview; the book makes many comparisons to older versions of SharePoint Services which I was not interested in as I did not use the previous versions. That dimension of the book was a waste of time for me and just added confusion as it added a lot of additional terms and descriptions of approaches that are no longer relevant. If you are coming from what they refer to as Version 2 then these sections might be helpful.
The authors push their personal preference in design. I don't mind an author putting forth a preference but this author puts forth some things as the "right" solution that will make a seasoned programmer raise an eyebrow.
