Book Recommendation: SharePoint 2007 User’s Guide
Original Publication Date: Saturday, November 24, 2007
Filed Under: Tips and Tricks
At the end of every SharePoint workshop I get the same question: “Is there a book you can recommend for the level where we are now?” I always answer the same: Yes, there are now dozens of books and resources available, but the one I consistently refer people to is the SharePoint 2007 User’s Guide by Seth Bates and Tony Smith.
SharePoint 2007 User’s Guide is the best example I’ve seen, discussing the OOTB features of SharePoint. It is written in simple language with no Geekspeak… my favorite dialect. Highly recommended.
If you have a favorite book for End User’s, please let me know and I’ll keep a running list here.
Mark,
I second this book. I have placed this in the hands of many of our end-users and it has been a great tool for them. It helps to reinforce ideas users get in training and workshops.
For those who aren’t afraid of a little geekspeak, I also recommend Beginning SharePoint 2007: Building Team Solutions with MOSS 2007
by Amanda Murphy (ISBN-13: 978-0470124499). This is focused more towards the technical side of SharePoint, but has some more advanced topics as well. I usually hand this off to those that want more in-depth administration assistance. There are some items that point to Central Administration which only your SharePoint administrators can access, so be warned there are some topics outside of the “end-user”.
