 Great in-depth info for a very under documented topic August 14, 2006
Jason & Stacy have done a great job digging into the details of site definitions. You rarely find this level of depth in available resources, including in the WSS/SPS SDK or MSDN. Wish I had this a long time ago!
Best Book so far on the topic... April 24, 2006

While there are other books that have been published in the past year on the topic of SharePoint and customizations and what not, I would have to say that this book brings all the pieces together, gives the explanations to UI developers, administrators and developers that they need.
A Serious Book on SharePoint April 24, 2006
5 out of 5 found this review helpful
Even though it is not a big book in pages, it is an excellent book in content! The core of the book focuses on creating site definitions; with many excellent examples and useful tips. Other topics covered include template construction, definitions for Lists and customization of themes and alerts.
There is other information on SharePoint which address these issues, but this is the only book wherein the information is centralized and readily accessible to the reader. None compare in clarity and ease of reading, I highly recommend it.
Real examples for Advanced Developers April 20, 2006
4 out of 5 found this review helpful
I enjoyed reading this book and easily flew through it over a few sessions during a week. It was easy to follow, has in-depth examples, excellent documentation and inside tips about the sharepoint application configuration. Best of all the Authors were able to not only walk the reader through the examples, but also they were careful to point out the places that a person could easily expand on their work while covering the pro's and con's of the approach. It was a good read.
SharePoint 2003 For Advance Users April 16, 2006
6 out of 6 found this review helpful
I agree with the previous reviewer that the title of the book might be missleading but content, ease of use for this books is what the rating should be based off of and it is excellent!
I think the title "Advanced Concepts" could be clarified with for "Advance Users/Administrators", etc... as it probably the only book you need to quickly learn how to customize SharePoint. If it's used by Advance Users/Administrators... then it can be implied that it's Advanced Concepts. Any case, i'm not a editor.
The book takes you through the most relevant and practical examples of the information you need and not baby you with hundreds of pages of basic stuff that most people that's familiar with MS technology already knows.
You can read this book from cover to cover in about 3 hours and you'll feel empowered and knolwedge enough to get advance customization done with sharepoint. I highly recommend this book for experienced administers/MS programmers to get a concise view to the topics of Site customization and doesn't want to read extra fluff like in other books.
