Inside Microsoft Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 (Pro Developer) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The SharePoint book that I have been waiting for the most has finally arrived. Back when I first heard that Ted Pattision and Daniel Larson were teaming up to write a SharePoint book, I got pretty excited. I knew these guys would have a knock-out book for SharePoint developers, and I'm happy to say I was right.
With this book, you will learn how to:
* Build application pages and site pages
* Develop and deploy reusable Web parts to enable customization and personalization
* Exploit Windows SharePoint APIs to deploy Microsoft ASP.NET AJAX components
* Use XML and Collaborative Application Markup Language (CAML) to create provisioning components
* Design and implement custom document libraries
* Use Windows Workflow Foundation to create applications that automate business process
* Create Site Definitions to aggregate components and package them for deployment
* Implement Code Access Security, Trust Levels, authentication, and authorization
Do yourself a huge favor, and spend five minutes ordering yourself a copy. It will save you hours down the road.

Professional SharePoint 2010 Development (Wrox Programmer to Programmer) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)First off, Other than Mathew Ranletts posting (in which I am in complete agreement) I'm very surprised at the previous posts...
This book is a must have no matter where you sit regarding experience. If you are a Novice or Expert, there is a TON of great information (contrary to a previous post)and "Code Examples". Every SharePoint book that I have purchased has several Chapters that are middle of the road with a few that hit the mark. However, this book seemed to stay on track and serve up the content to help our SP dev team make the decisions required for a Vnext product. We are in the process of upgrading all of our SharePoint code from 2007 to 2010 in which this book was a key read in order to plan and explore the plethora of new features and functionalities in which dovetail with the current suite of features added to 2010.
Personally - this book is a Must Have hands down.
Great Job to the Authors!

I've spent the last few days with this book and being new to SharePoint and specifically new to SharePoint 2010 I really appreciate the depth the authors have used in their topics. Everyone will get something from this book. From the new SharePointer to the old salt, there is something here for everyone.
I truly appreciated the sections on customizing the ribbon, wireframes, and the entire section on SharePoint Designer 2010. I also now have a new perspective on waffles!! If nothing else this book will keep you wanting a delicious breakfast treat!!

A must have guide for creating engaging and usable SharePoint 2010 branding
With SharePoint 2010, Microsoft has provided a more robust environment for creating collaboration and content management sites that rival any of the popular websites on the internet. Creating a branded SharePoint site involves understanding both traditional web design techniques as well as topics that are typically reserved for developers. This book bridges that gap by not only providing expert guidance for creating beautiful public facing and internal intranet sites but it also addresses the needs of those readers that only want to understand the basics enough to apply some style to their sites.
Things like creative design, the experience visitors have navigating your user interface, ease of use?these are all important branding considerations and not always intuitive. This unique book from a team of SharePoint branding experts lays it all out. The book is divided into four sections:
Introduction to SharePoint Branding: In this part you will learn about what SharePoint branding is and how the topic has changed since SharePoint 2007.
Branding Basics: This section is geared towards both getting started as well as being a guide for people that don?t want to dive super deep into the advanced topics of SharePoint branding. You will learn about how to plan for branding projects, including creating wireframes and creative mockups as well as gathering requirements and estimation. You will learn how to work with SharePoint Designer 2010, SharePoint 2010 themes, and SharePoint navigation as well as gain an understanding of the low and medium effort approaches to branding can be used to make SharePoint look more like your own visual style.
Advanced Branding: This is where you will learn about the more intricate techniques for making large changes to the SharePoint UI, such as cascading style sheets (CSS), master pages, page layouts, web parts and XSLT. You will also get an introduction to deploying SharePoint branding to production servers using solution packages (WSP).
Other Topics: Everything else that is related to SharePoint branding is discussed here, including working with the SharePoint 2010 ribbon and client side technologies such as the client object model, jQuery, and Silverlight.

Whether you want to make SharePoint look completely different or just make minor design changes, this expert guide will provide tips, techniques, and insights to get the job done.

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!
