Book Reviews of SharePoint 2007 User's Guide: Learning Microsoft's Collaboration and Productivity Platform
Book Review: Okay but wordy
Summary: 4 Stars
There are several books available for SharePoint installers and admins and designers, but there really aren't many out there for end users. This is one of the few, and it does cover most of the important subjects. It has a few shortcomings:
+ The language is not very approachable. Long sentences, tedious writing, and a bit too formal.
+ It makes assumptions about user permissions. It often says, "You can do x, y, and z," but the truth is that the user has to have the right permissions in SharePoint to do all those things.
+ The screenshots have no callouts, so you have to study them closely to find what's important.
+ The authors take the old-style documentation approach, in which they describe the program in great detail, but rarely tell you how to use the program to accomplish real world tasks. For example, they frequently mention that document workspaces allow for collaboration, but never tell you what that collaboration might look like.
Despite those shortcomings I'm giving the book a generous 4 stars because I did learn about SharePoint by reading it. If your environment also includes Office 2007, you might want to wait for the end-user book by Vanessa L. Williams in the For Dummies series (NOT "SharePoint 2007 for Dummies," which is for admins.)
