Book Reviews of MCTS: Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 Configuration Study Guide: Exam 70-630
Book Review: An excellent, well written study guide. Highly recommended.
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a superb book. I purchased this book in late May as my primary study guide for the Sharepoint Server 2007 Configuration exam. This books gives one the opportunity to gain real work expertise via the many well worked out exercises that guide you step by step through the installation, configuration and administration of Sharepoint Server 2007. The book assumes no prior expertise with Sharepoint although familiarity with networking concepts is a must. The text is well written and engaging. Nevertheless, do bear in mind that Sharepoint Server 2007 is an Enterprise product with SQL database, IIS and .NET requirements and thus the book is technically demanding and requires a certain level of motivation from the reader.
Each chapter is punctuated with sections on real world scenarios involving the usage of Sharepoint Server 2007. These make for light reading and are good motivational aids. All chapters finish with a series of 20 tough review questions in order to test your knowledge of the studied material. The book contains a total of 16 chapters. The last 6 deal with the Enterprise features of Sharepoint Server 2007 such as Excel Services, Business Forms, Web Content Management and the Business Data Catalog. These areas are available as books in their own right; suffice to say this text will sufficiently wet the appetite to get you started. The beginning chapters cover Authentication, Building of Sites, Lists and Libraries etc all of it well presented in bite size logical steps.
I sat the Microsoft exam in early July and comfortably passed. This book, coupled with a desire to learn and the motivation to go through the hands on exercises, the review questions and the sample examinations ( there are two bonus exams on the accompanying CD ) will give you not only the knowledge to successfully pass the exam but the confidence to comfortably administer and configure Sharepoint Server 2007 in the real world. I would strongly recommend this book. Best of luck.
