DESCRIPTION
From day one, the "promise" of SharePoint has been that ordinary business users could easily build effective information management systems. The "reality" has been that almost anything worth doing has required a fully-engaged SharePoint expert. Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 (MOSS) and Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 (WSS) dramatically change that equation. Whether you're a business user who wants to share data through an executive dashboard, a knowledge worker who wants to collaborate with colleagues, or just the guy who just wants to go home and play with the kids, MOSS makes it possible to work together more effectively than ever before.
SharePoint Server 2007 Survival Guide is written specifically for business users who want to take advantage of SharePoint's built-in features and functionality. This book addresses basic, nitty-gritty SharePoint Server 2007 solutions using an (almost) code-free approach. If you're mainly interested in assembling solutions using SharePoint's out-of-the-box templates, themes, lists, libraries, and web parts, you'll find the hands-on techniques you need to build functional sites and portals. If you're a little more adventurous, you can dive into tasks like customizing web parts and jazzing up the visual design of a site.
The authors of this book recognize that you're busy, so the writing is crystal-clear. You'll only need to read an explanation once to be able to understand and apply each important idea. And there's a lot of good stuff in the book! This book drills down on the day-to-day business tasks you'll tackle with SharePoint. After you explore the basics of building a SharePoint site, you'll learn about:
- Site personalization
- Searching and retrieving content
- Web content and records management
- Basic business intelligence concepts like data mining and business performance management
- Integrating SharePoint with Microsoft Excel
SharePoint Server 2007 is designed to make you a more productive worker. SharePoint Server 2007 Survival Guide has the same goal exactly. Even if you've never used SharePoint Server before, you'll be building that dashboard, collaborating with your coworkers--and at home playing with the kids--before you know it.
Whether you're just getting started or you're ready to really tackle a challenging project, this book will show you how to make the most of SharePoint 2007.
