Summary: Old Version
Review: I was looking for a book on SharePoint 2003, Office 2003, etc but this book describes the earlier version of the software.

Summary: Nice Job, but time for update soon
Review: I'll keep this book, but think the author need to update it pretty soon. Very nice detail before and after installation, not like lot of books on the market for Sharepoint. Things are changing, but still worth getting for me at least.

Summary: Valuable
Review: I've been handed a Sharepoint project and picked up this wonderful and another older book. Between the two, I feel good about setting up and deploying SPS for piloting, though this book is more applicable to what I believe will be my challenges. And I'm thinking that the example chapters will be worth their weight in maybe not gold but at least floppies or PC cards.

Summary: Great SPS book, the only one I need in my library
Review: I've read through a couple SPS books out there today, returned one, and only consider this one "keepable". It covers eveything I do as a Knowledge Consultant - design/architecture, deploying/setting up, training my users, managing changes, and so on. I can tell that the author has been through all of this many times over. Great job! I only wish a CD was included so I could easily search through the chapters.

Summary: Great Resource
Review: There are not many SharePoint books out there. Most of them are not that great. This is an excellent resource for SPS administrators or anybody planning a SharePoint deployment.There are only about two chapters concerned with development for SharePoint, so if you are looking for API documentation, check out the SharePoint Resource Kit at http://www.microsoft.com/SharePoint

Summary: Colorful and Informative
Review: This book caught my attention fast because it's yellow (hence the 'colorful' part of this review). I was looking for a better SPS book than the one I bought earlier this year. Anyway, like everyone seems to point out, this is about as good as you'll get - there's not a lot of developer details, but there's plenty of good reading. I'd recommend it to anyone planning a deployment - the examples and checklists, etc. are perfect in this regard. And the way the book is laid out makes sense - easy stuff up front, good detail the rest of the way.

Summary: Great book for administrators, but...
Review: This is a great book if you need guidance in installing, configuring and maintaining your Sharepoint Portal Server, however it only touches very briefly on any development techniques involving the Sharepoint APIs and writing any of your own custom code. Compared to the other books on the market that deal with Sharepoint Portal, this is by far the closest one to what a developer would need, but it still leaves a lot to be desired. I am still waiting for that great Sharepoint technical reference manual that's made especially for developers. So far, none found.

Summary: Still the best available for deploying SPS
Review: While newer books are on the market, Fergusons's is still the one for planning and implementing an SPS deployment.
