Still the best available for deploying SPS

While newer books are on the market, Fergusons's is still the one for planning and implementing an SPS deployment.

Valuable

I've been handed a Sharepoint project and picked up this wonderful and another older book. Between the two, I feel good about setting up and deploying SPS for piloting, though this book is more applicable to what I believe will be my challenges. And I'm thinking that the example chapters will be worth their weight in maybe not gold but at least floppies or PC cards.

Great SPS book, the only one I need in my library

I've read through a couple SPS books out there today, returned one, and only consider this one "keepable". It covers eveything I do as a Knowledge Consultant - design/architecture, deploying/setting up, training my users, managing changes, and so on. I can tell that the author has been through all of this many times over. Great job! I only wish a CD was included so I could easily search through the chapters.

Colorful and Informative

This book caught my attention fast because it's yellow (hence the 'colorful' part of this review). I was looking for a better SPS book than the one I bought earlier this year. Anyway, like everyone seems to point out, this is about as good as you'll get - there's not a lot of developer details, but there's plenty of good reading. I'd recommend it to anyone planning a deployment - the examples and checklists, etc. are perfect in this regard. And the way the book is laid out makes sense - easy stuff up front, good detail the rest of the way.

Great Resource

There are not many SharePoint books out there. Most of them are not that great. This is an excellent resource for SPS administrators or anybody planning a SharePoint deployment.There are only about two chapters concerned with development for SharePoint, so if you are looking for API documentation, check out the SharePoint Resource Kit at http://www.microsoft.com/SharePoint
