Very readable, straight to the point June 15, 2008
In between Sharepoint for Dummies and the MOSS Administrator Manual is this book - how to actually use SharePoint in the organisation. It has everything you need to know about the different components and what to do with them. A lifesaver!!!

When I started learning SharePoint, one of the biggest fundamental problem I had was to understand the new terms used in SharePoint. Sites, Site Collection, Web Application, Site Column, Content Types are some of those terms. Without understanding these basic terms, its hard to understand power of Sharepoint. Doesn't matter whether you are great SharePoint programmer or administrator, you need to have your fundamentals right. That's where this book comes from.
Learning SharePoint starts with basic terms like - Lists, Document Library, Sites, Site Collection, Workspaces, Site Columns, Content Types, Workflows, Web Part, Security Groups, Forms Services, Excel Services, BDC, WSS Search and Enterprise Search, Portals for internal and intranet and that's what this book provides. It gives a foundation what every new SharePoint power users, administrator, or developer needs.
This books focuses on out-of-box customizations targeting Power Users and Administrators, mainly for former group. It starts with what Lists and Document Library is and then focuses on what kind of customization you can do with them. From then, it moves on important WSS concepts like Web Parts, Workflow, and Content Types. Once you have your WSS concepts covered, it moves on the advanced MOSS subjects. It has many real world Try it out examples. In short, this book is for power users. There is nothing for developers and this book doesn't pretend to be for admins and programmers.
Forget about its title being Wrox Beginning series, If anyone wants to start learning SharePoint, I must suggest to go through this book first and then move on more advanced subjects like Administration and Custom Customization with WSS and MOSS programming model.

I've read a lot of books about Sharepoint and MOSS and actually I can say that this is my personal "top of the list" for ayone who wants to be introduced into the Sharepoint and MOSS world.
The book is simple to read and rich of guided samples, it covers all the aspects you need in order to start working with Sharepoint and MOSS.
If you're a developer that wants to customize the engine, this is not the right book for you... but if you've the needs to learn Sharepoint and to work immediately with it, this is extremely recommended.
As usual, Wrox is a guarantee...

Good starting point for soon to be SharePoint Professionals (and a good refresher for the rest of us) September 10, 2007

As the title states I find this a great place to start learning or use as a reference. You can never have enough good references!
I found this book to be inline with the other "Beginning" Wrox books. It outlines key concepts within the SharePoint platform and provides examples of how to use those concepts to build team solutions.
From outlining site columns and content types to working with ECS and the BDC this book is sure to provide you with essential SharePoint knowledge to get you going!
Must Have for SharePoint Designers August 13, 2007

This is the best book on the market for learning how the newest versions of SharePoint can help company's improve business processes and information management.
From getting a solid understanding of content types and site columns (new features within SharePoint) to making use of Forms Services, the reader gains knowledge of how to use these important concepts to create business solutions that are easy to maintain and extend.
Because SharePoint is so open and powerful, easily explaining how to incorporate SharePoint to help a company run its business more efficiently is challenging. To take full advantage of SharePoint, companies will need employees that are not developers (programmers) to embrace the technology. These users will need to know how to utilize SharePoint to meet business objectives, and how to customize the platform (without the need for code). This book is geared for this next generation of SharePoint users (called Designers) - and it delivers a winner.
Great book!
