| If you're considering the vastly improved 2007 version of
SharePoint, this concise, practical and friendly guide will
teach you how to get the most from the latest version of
Microsoft's information-sharing and collaboration platform.
Essential SharePoint 2007 demonstrates how your business can
use SharePoint to control documents, structure workflow, and
share information over the Web using standard tools business
users already know -- Microsoft Office and Internet
Explorer.
Written in a conversational tone by internationally
recognized SharePoint consultant and trainer Jeff Webb, this
book helps SharePoint administrators, site owners, and power
users quickly gain the skills necessary to perform a wide
variety of tasks for intranet and extranet web sites, and
explains what's new in SharePoint 2007 for experienced
SharePoint 2003 administrators. Essential SharePoint 2007
teaches you how to:
Use SharePoint 2007 with Outlook, Word and Excel, and as a
document management tool, replacing, for example, shared
network drives with libraries
Build and customize sites, lists, libraries and web parts
for intranets and extranets
Use SharePoint 2007 for team communication through blogs,
wikis, surveys, and RSS and email alerts
Build a SharePoint workflow application
Create and program web parts in order to deliver custom
services and data to a site
Deploy and administer SharePoint 2007
Each chapter ends with a summary of best practices advocated
by the author, and the first few chapters of the book are
ideal as training materials for end users. Later chapters
give developers and administrators tools not only to keep
company sites running smoothly, but also to customize and
extend them. The book also contains several appendices with
a glossary of terms and hard-to-find information.
Essential SharePoint 2007 is a one-stop task-oriented guide
for learning what's necessary to make this tool a vital part
of team productivity.
