Book Reviews of Complete Guide to OneNote

Book Review: A unique perspective you won't get elsehwere
Summary: 5 Stars

I felt that there were so many work arounds it was annoying, though this is not Fred's fault, its clear weaknesses in the product. The thing I like about reading Fred's work arounds is that it confirmed I wasn't "crazy" or "missing" something. Sometimes you spend a lot of time trying to get a product to do something it just doesn't do, but you don't know that until hours are wasted. Fred's book has reduced my wasted time with OneNote. I now know where it fits and where it doesnt.

The thing I like the most about this book is that Fred doesn't just discuss OneNote but discusses the whole concept of Digital note taking, its history and even in light of other products. You can buy this book to learn about the product and you also get the side benefit of understanding at a higher level its place in the digital note taking world. I do hope Fred continues to update the book for SP1 and V2.

Summary of Complete Guide to OneNote

OneNote is a new member of the Microsoft Office family that will be released in mid-2003. The Complete Guide to OneNote is aimed at making users more productive by helping them organize what are today ephemeral and disconnected scraps of personal information gathered prior to the creation of formal work product. Major sections of the book are devoted to:

- Explaining this new category of software and its user paradigm

- Detailed discussion of features

- Interoperability with other programs and services from Microsoft and from third parties

- General and domain-specific guidance on how readers can use OneNote to increase personal and enterprise productivity

Information about customizing OneNote, including information for Office XP developers

Throughout the book, the author draws on his extensive experience with Microsoft emerging technologies and his deep understanding of how professionals use software in their workflow. The book?s perspective on OneNote will be enriched by interviews with high-quality experts like Louis Rosenfeld, author of O?Reilly?s "Information Architecture"; Dan Woods, author of "Education of a CTO" (forthcoming, Addison-Wesley); John Viviano, Senior Architect for MDConsult.com; and many more. The book also leverages the contributions of early adopters who have joined the author?s independent community website, OneNoteInfoCenter.com.

The result is a practical book that will appeal both to casual OneNote users and beginners, yet be essential for power users, Office developers, and anyone who wants to take full advantage of this innovative new application.
