Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐I bought the Kindle version of this book hoping to quickly learn the basics of Sharepoint. What I got instead was a rather confusing text of facts and tips which do not appear to be placed in a very logical order. I should also say that the formatting on the Kindle version is terrible, and made this book harder to read. The author states that this book is designed so the user can skip to particular sections of interest — however, trying to read this book cover to cover feels very much like you are skipping about. It reminds me of someone showing off some of the coolest features of their latest gadget without showing you how it really works.While I am sure that the author knows her subject thoroughly, it is not conveyed in this book. There is a cohesiveness lacking – no larger picture presented to tie all the parts together and help them to make sense. After reading this, I still don’t feel like I have much of an understanding of Sharepoint beyond it’s an intranet web server where you can post stuff and customize websites for you business. I certainly don’t feel ready to deploy and support it.

⭐This book is great for the SharePoint administrator. Unfortunately, I’m the user creating and populating the sites rather than installing the server. There are a few sections for the user at my level, but I’d anticipated a Dummies book wouldn’t be for the techies. I also wish it had more screen shots to demonstrate things, but I suppose it would wind up becoming a 1000 page book then. It’s fine for what it is, and I did pick up some tips, so it wasn’t a complete waste for me. I found

⭐to be a bit more practical for my needs. I still haven’t found THE training resource I need to help others utilize SharePoint the way it was intended.

⭐I purchased the product hoping to get some basic knowledge on Microsoft sharepoint…and I did get a lot of information…but there seems to me a lot of referring to other books on sharepoint and the techical knowledge can be broke down to a non computer addict level. I’m fairly intelligent but I use my computer to perform a service, as tool if you will, and it seems to me that this book is written for someone who tinkers with a computer just for tinkering’s sake. Don’t get me wrong the book is useful just not as useful as I’d hope and I would reccomend it for someone who is looking for information on sharepoint but not as a single source if you are thinking of installing sharepoint.Bill

⭐This is a great resource, especially for SharePoint newbies. It’s easy to follow and has images to help you out. I’ve loaned this out to new end users on multiple occasions with compliments upon return. Great buy!

⭐Interesting

⭐Super book–easy to understand and use!

⭐This is a good beginners guide for a very complicated product. Not for the developer, but great for a user of the product.

⭐Although Sharepoint 2010 is out, 2007 version has widespread use. The book is an extremely helpful reference tool. As an I.T. professional this publication was very useful in learning the program and added much needed training beyond my employer’s mandatory training opportunities.

⭐There are very few SharePoint books suitable for business users rahther than IT administrators or developers. I was looking for a book suitable for site owners and content owners who may come from a Communications, Marketing or KM background rather than a technical one. SharePoint 2007 for Dummies meets this remit better than most books in the area. It generally explains things clearly and has useful introductions to sections that give a useful orientation to how the many (potentially confusing) elements of SharePoint fit together.I’d say it’s intended audience is actually a site admin for a relatively small company as it has a section on how to Install SharePoint. However, the rest of it would be applicable to anyone with Administrator rights. Most tasks are clearly illustrated with screenshots.My only wish would be that this book said more about WHY you would want to do some of the things it describes. There are no real business case exampel or even fictional use cases, and certainly no over-arching plan for “this is how you put it all together into an intranet”.

⭐A very detailed and useful guide to SharePoint 2007. I was after a basic overview of SharePoint and this publication delivers just that. I would recommend this to anyone who is seeking the same level of achievement.

⭐Great quality item delivered on time

⭐It’s a book on share point…….

⭐Overview .. okay for newcomer. Not easy to actually implement
