Book Reviews of SharePoint 2007 Collaboration For Dummies
Book Review: Okay introduction to using SharePoint 2007
Summary: 4 Stars
Well, I need to learn yet another platform. This it is SharePoint 2007, Microsoft's latest iteration in its evolving online initiative.
"SharePoint 2007 Collaboration For Dummies" is strictly an end-user book. It says virtually nothing about the server side of SharePoint.
The book's greatest strength and weakness are the same: it covers a lot of territory. The weakness of that approach is that in a bit more than 300 pages, you can't cover every detail about everything. Likewise, most readers will not want to wade through every detail about everything. So it is up to the author to compromise.
And author Greg Harvey does a pretty good job of compromising. He takes the reader very much by the hand and walks them through the basics of SharePoint for the end-user. It is a very elementary approach. Harvey does not talk down to the reader, but it is clear that he assumes practically zero knowledge about SharePoint and its component parts . . . which probably isn't a bad idea overall, but it can become a bit boring for those familiar with many of the concepts.
The title is a bit misleading since the collaborative aspects covered are mostly the mechanics of creating groups, permissions, libraries and the like. The book most certainly is not about project management using SharePoint 2007.
Overall, this is a good, if not excellent, book for the absolute SharePoint 2007 novice who has little, if any, knowledge of collaborative environments such as Wikis and the like. The one aspect I criticize is that it often feels like a reworked help file.
