Book Reviews of SharePoint 2007 User's Guide: Learning Microsoft's Collaboration and Productivity Platform

Book Review: Authors paid by the word?
Summary: 1 Stars

Disclaimer: I stopped reading this book after 3 chapters. It would appear the authors were paid by volume, not content, because there is precious little of the latter and the content-to-cut-and-paste ratio got so bad, I could not get past page after page of instructions on how to click on this menu item or that button to fill in a few values. It is not like the book was targeted to beginning users - the first chapter talks about WSS and MOSS - a beginning end-user needs a conceptual introduction, not details on software architecture. The document workspaces topic in Chapter 2 was introduced out of the blue - I could not find anything before describing what this was or why I should be interested in it. Site security in the second chapter? I didn't even understand enough how or why to use sites at that point. And even if I did want to understand site security, I'd have been hard-pressed to understand it - there were pages that were identical save for which menu item I was selecting. Perhaps this book got better later but I didn't bother. Caveat emptor.
