What our customer's say!

"First to market", The author is to be commended for getting this published as quickly as he did. For a time (first half '07) this was the best, most in-depth coverage of deep development of SharePoint features with .NET. However, these topics receive more current and relevant treatement in "Inside Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 (Pattison and Larson) and I would recommend that book instead. Hence the three star rating.

"Not my kind of book", I would recommend "Inside Microsoft Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 " instead of this book. That book feels more upto date with the subject.

"Great Development book from Bleeker", Todd Bleeker is enthusiastic about SharePoint, and it shows. This book is a great resource for people wanting to get up to speed with programming in SharePoint 2007. Todd gives a lot of examples and lots of background on the subject covered. I'm not a developer and I could understand the book and was able to follow along and even use some of the examples.

If you want to get your feet wet with SharePoint programming, you can't go wrong with this book.

"Good resource for beginner, but many typos error!", For WSS v3, the new version of SharePoint product, it's not easy to find a good book. Yes, you can download the SDK. But somehow it's not a good start point for beginners! This book was the first one did a good job on providing guidance for the beginners of WSS developers. Even over, it show us many different aspect of programming for WSS, such as Event Receiver, Custom Field Type, and Web Part.
But this book contain many typos error! The publisher did introduced many error!? Very often, you must go to the CD to find the correct code or Fig.
But I still recommend this book. Very valueable! True.

"Not impressed", I have read more than half of the book and am very disappointed with the content. He spends far too much time explaining how things were done in SharePoint Services v2 and then how they are different in v3. I was hoping for more information about how to do things in SharePoint v3 but there is not enough meat to actually get in and do anything.

Read this reviews before You buy...

"Good To Be First On The Market", I agree with the other reviews here... this is a well thought out book and Todd definitely explains the technology well.

This book would have been perfect.. if I didnt get to the first big code example (page 205-209) and find so many bugs.. Work thru setting up this project and you will see what I mean. This has kind of scared me away from the rest of the coding examples in the book.. some other typos and such (isnt it a foreword????) that made me smile right off..

Bottom line - SPS 3.0 explained well, dont trust the coding examples.

"GREAT BUY!!", Great book! Gets right to the point!! This book doesn't require you to go through it in order. Find the chapter you'd like to read and dive right into it!

We are currently implementing WSS 3.0 and we need to quickly learn any and everything about WSS 3.0. This book is absolutely a perfect fit for us. For those who were exposed to WSS 2.0 this book provides useful information regarding the differences between 2.0 and 3.0 so you can learn quickly.

The first few chapters are really "end users" friendly, so they can read through them and see the improvement provided in WSS 3.0. This book is truly audience friendly.


"Lotus Notes developer does WSS 3.0 - Great guide!", I'm to page 61 and am already impressed. After having seen Todd present at several events (which is an event in itself), I knew it would be thorough information and simply put.

As a full-time Notes developer, I have had limited experience with WSS. I had a few months to experiment with V2 a couple of years ago and not much else since then but reading to keep up with the latest. The book has been easy to follow for me.

This book makes complicated features/concepts simpler. Some highlights so far:
-Short code snippets about the object model, which is much easier to digest than a page of code.
-the explanations of WSS 3.0 authentication are enlightening and will enable me to understand and discuss it with people who know much more about it.
-the explanation of the Mobile Emulator setup was simple and concise.
-He doesn't blur the lines between WSS and MOSS!

It has been my experience to date that good information on WSS is scattered and, many times, much more information than I need. I want to read something that gives me an immediate understanding of the subject at hand, gives me what I NEED TO KNOW, I'll fill in the details later. This book brings it all together in a clear, concise manner.

"It's Good to be First!", Very good book. Todd has done a very good job of putting together content that, as many of us who have been working with WSS 3.0 for the last year know, is scattered all over the place in blogs and wikis.

Todd has a great advantage at being one of the "first" -- many of the other SharePoint books aren't due until much later this year. Quite an impressive feat.

Yes, there are a few typos, and probably a few errata will be released -- I don't care. He does a great job covering the new stuff and comparing it to the old stuff.

If you are TOTALLY new to SharePoint Development, you may wanna skip this one. However, if you are a hardcore MOSS developer and "gotta have the info", this is a great start. It pretty much covers almost every aspect of WSS 3.0 development. I have been working with MOSS 2007/WSS 3.0 for some time now, and I learned a lot from this book. This is NOT a depth book on WSS -- this is a breadth book. Combine this with the other content emerging (MSDN, blogs, wikis, etc.), and you have a real head start on ramping up on this great technology -- before it has been officially released!

"Not For the Beginner", This is an excellent book on the Windows SharePoint Services (WSS) IF:

Your boss has already told you to use WSS
You already know what WSS is supposed to do
You have some programming experience, especially in C#
You know about the .NET Framework
You have some basic knowledge of how the web works
You really want to know about WSS.

If you don't know what WSS is, the first sentence says that it 'is the ideal platform for the creation of reusable and modular websites for use in an intranet, extranet, or Internet scenario.' But I thought that same sentence would do for a book on Front Page or ASP.NET or a whole bunch of other technologies.

Summary, a good book for the developer, too advanced for the complete beginner. If you're a beginner I'd suggest that you start with SharePoint For Dummies then move to this book.
