2.0 out of 5 stars
Too many flaws to be truly useful,
By
This review is from: Microsoft SharePoint 2010: Building Solutions for SharePoint 2010 (Paperback)
This is one of the first developer books to be released for SharePoint 2010. Unfortunately, it was rushed to the presses, and far too many errors made it through the editorial process to merit any more than a 3 star rating. It loses another star by simply being too incomplete.
Unless you're a seasoned WSS3/Sharepoint 2007 developer, avoid this book; it will confuse more than inform, and you'll spend too much of your time trying to make the examples work as expected instead of learning the material. If you are a seasoned SharePoint developer, you might still find some value in this text, if you're in a hurry to work on a SP2010 project and this is the only book-form resource you can find.

Seems Rushed, But Still Solid,
By Charles Chen "Keyboard Jockey" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Microsoft SharePoint 2010: Building Solutions for SharePoint 2010 (Paperback)
First, this book is good. I would recommend it without question to developers who are working on the SharePoint platform. Sahil Malik covers many of the new features as well as goes over some of the basics in a practical, mostly easy to read manner; there's practical advice in every chapter that you'll want to highlight and tuck away in your brain.
However, it's pretty apparent that the book was rushed (at least editorially) due to the large number of grammar mistakes, awkward sentences, terrible analogies (some of them a bit inappropriate in any textbook), and somewhat questionable _structure_ of the content. Again, Sahil does a good job of capturing a lot of the key changes in 2010 and gives good examples (chapter 5 being the most interesting to me, personally). If I were grading on content alone, the book would be closer to 5 stars. It's the editing team at Apress that have let down Mr. Malik by not putting enough attention in properly structuring and organizing the content and not performing adequate proofreading. I feel that many of the concepts and ideas could have been organized a bit differently and more coherently to help the reader better link the concepts together and have a clearer path to ramping up. It may have helped if the book had a more focused target audience (Mr. Malik himself points out that the book is broad in nature). That said, as I mentioned in the opening of the review, I would definitely recommend this for SharePoint developers who are transitioning or preparing to transition from 2007. Despite it's flaws, it's still worthy of the time and money that you'll invest in it. I do wish that the author had gone into more detail regarding best practices and design patterns for developing solutions in SharePoint; this is an area that is sorely missing in terms of publications. Mr. Malik might have made the book even better by incorporating the different examples around a central solution or problem instead of the scattershot approach of one-off examples. In other words, his examples (in a book with "Building Solutions" in the title) would have been better served in the context of a more comprehensive, overarching example. 5 of 5 people found the following review helpful:

True SharePoint Development Resource,
By Nikunj Patel "Nik Patel" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Microsoft SharePoint 2010: Building Solutions for SharePoint 2010 (Paperback)
This review is long due. I had bought this book when it was first published and since then I have used this book repeatedly numerous times whenever I need extra hand during my SharePoint Development. If you are developer and understand the basics of the SharePoint and needs to build the custom solutions on top of SharePoint technologies then this is book for you. If you are not planning to use Visual Studio then stay away from this book. This is targeted to both seasoned ASP.NET and entry level SharePoint developers. Even as a seasoned developer, I simply loved this book along with Sahil's dry humor. This book starts out with step by step process of building VM needed for the SharePoint development. Once you have VM ready, it will take you thorugh features and solutions framework basics. Middle four chapters discussing web parts, SharePoint pages, client object model, ADO.NET data services, building Lists and List Instances are true gems. Go for it. You will not disappoint.

Fantastic intro for ASP.NET developers,
By Josh Earl - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Microsoft SharePoint 2010: Building Solutions for SharePoint 2010 (Paperback)
As a .NET developer who has worked "around" SharePoint 2007 for a couple of years, I was looking for a book that would give me a solid overview of what it takes to write my own code for SharePoint 2010. Sahil's book was just what I was looking for.
It is well paced, interspersing theory with chunks of real code and meaty walkthroughs. You get to see how things work without that overly code-heavy, I've-been-reading-this-same-page-for-an-hour approach that plagues many technical books. And Sahil's sense of humor keeps you awake just when things start to get a little dry. I highly recommend this book for developers who are comfortable with .NET and have a basic understanding of what SharePoint does from a user's perspective. |
