Real World SharePoint 2010: Indispensable Experiences from 22 MVPs (Wrox Programmer to Programmer) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)As an early adopter and preview reader of technical books (mainly surrounded around SharePoint technologies and its dependencies/complimentary components), I found Real World SharePoint series continues on its path of excellence. This book is very well written and contains 20 chapters of varying aspects within SharePoint 2010 lifecycle. This book is most valuable to the person who touches all aspects of SharePoint 2010 management (from administration to oversight of the development experience). If you are currently running SharePoint 2007 and need to get an immediate boost of information then this book is for you. If you are heavy on one side of the SharePoint 2010 experience (development or admin) then this book will help acquaint you to the other side.Additionally, I found three chapters within this book which collectively do not exist anywhere (yet) - so to me that was a bonus!

SharePoint for Nonprofits Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Despite the maturity of the Microsoft SharePoint platform, there is still a lot of misinformation in the marketplace about its capabilities. Talk to a dozen vendors and you will get at least a half a dozen different answers. This book brings clarity to many of the misnomers that have been circling the SharePoint world. It sheds light on a number of areas that many SharePoint consultants have neglected for far too long. No longer does SharePoint need to be relegated to the back of the house for intranet or document management. John and Sean go to great lengths to explain how SharePoint should be viewed as a platform, not just a document repository.
A quick and easy read, this book is concise and provides sound guidance as to the opportunities as well as pitfalls related to implementation and customization of SharePoint. It provides well thought out approaches and discusses the little known and talked about potential of an integrated SharePoint system/platform. This is not a developers guide, it is a book written specifically to IT decision makers, strategists, and executives.
John and Sean bring a much needed discussion to the SharePoint arena. This book is written from the perspective of how an organization can develop a comprehensive SharePoint strategy. This book is a must read for anyone who may be involved in deciding about whether or not SharePoint will be or still is a good fit for their organization.

While it may be the same version of SharePoint used by businesses and government agencies the world over, nonprofits and associations use SharePoint differently. SharePoint for Nonprofits delivers a comprehensive roadmap for delivering SharePoint solutions to staff, members, donors, and volunteers. This book is for association and nonprofit professionals and consultants. Prescriptive guidance and best practices are provided for executives, directors, information workers, management teams, business users and technical staff responsible for evaluating and implementing SharePoint.
