I started with more advanced SharePoint books but made little progress because they had little introduction and were complex in early chapters.
I purchased Microsoft SharePoint 2010 Plain & Simple: Learn the simplest ways to get things done with Microsoft SharePoint 2010 and worked my way through the exercises. What I found is that the other reading I've done in SharePoint makes sense now because this book clearly explains the usability in simple terms.
This book gets right to the point of what SharePoint 2010 can do for Designers. It has excellent step by step instructions along with color coded graphics.
As a result of this, I am able to go to more advanced books and make progress.
I would definitely recommend this book to anyone using or learning SharePoint 2010.
I give this book a solid 5 out of 5.
That being said, it is an excellent book on what it is. It is a very good map for those who just want the facts - for those who want to learn about SharePoint without having to be a developer or an Administrator. Plain & Simple provides a map, if you will of some of the major points of SharePoint, how to get there, what it looks like when you get there and what it does once you're there.
Along with the pictures (screenshots), tips, descriptions for each area, this book provides a lot of good information in a short space, including information about Security and SharePoin search. It doesn't overwhelm you with a lot of in-depth text, so this isn't a full-blown, get to know everything there is about SharePoint kind of book, but it allows you to get a good feeling for SharePoint and what it does, and at the same time, it shows you how to do it.
It does not, however, cover any Farm Admin duties. This looks to be strictly for designers and not for disaster recovery, site collection creation, shared services or any other Farm admin duties. It would be great if there were a Plain and Simple for those duties!
Designers should defintely have this book.
