Disappointed,

This review is from: Essential SharePoint 2010: Overview, Governance, and Planning (Paperback)
After reading this book over the holidays, I was regretfully disappointed. I purchased this book to obtain insights and acquire more knowledge about planning and governance, hence the book's title, but just another book compiled with repetitive Internet information.

Nice book for implementation strategy,
By vaibhav - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Essential SharePoint 2010: Overview, Governance, and Planning (Paperback)
This book provides a good insight on governance and planning for 2010 but lacks on the overview. If you are looking for anything in depth on sharepoint features then this is not the book but if you'r looking for strategy and planning then its a great resource.
A good book to have going for client meetings and implementation. 7 of 7 people found the following review helpful:

A Great Starting Point for SharePoint 2010,
By bkstarck "Brian K Starck" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Essential SharePoint 2010: Overview, Governance, and Planning (Paperback)
Essential SharePoint 2010 provides a well written overview of what you need to know for standing up SP2010. While other books may delve into the nitty gritty of SharePoint particulars, this book provides a solid background for the functions that the SharePoint platform provides.
In addition to the easy to read screenshots (not all books make the screenshots easy to read!), I found many of the tables helpful and organized in a way that I could use them for our implementation. The Key Points at the end of the chapter reminded me of sections that I may have "glazed over" while reading. I'm not an IT guy or a SharePoint guru, but I will be doing a lot of end-user training. This book provided me a very strong basis to start from and I'm sure it will be a useful resource going forward. 5 of 5 people found the following review helpful:

The Essential Starting point for your SharePoint journey,
By Alan Le Marquand - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Essential SharePoint 2010: Overview, Governance, and Planning (Paperback)
The authors have done a good job here of providing the right level of information to get you going with SharePoint 2010. Don't expect to find details on reading the event logs, troubleshooting the server, or details of the command line tools. It's not that kind of book. But you will find explainations of the terminology, the features, and examples of how to use the functionality, all layed out in a logical easy to follow structure.
I've worked with SharePoint from the early days, I've got a number of publications on the subject, one usually being a Admin companion from MS Press. For the SharePoint 2010 version, I've got this book too. If you are looking for something that is not developer focused, or deep admin focused, but will enable you to get going with SharePoint quickly, then I don't think you will be disappointed. |
