From the supplier: Vanessa Williams has successfully staged a comeback after her short, disastrous reign as the Miss America of 1984. She has since released three commercial hit recording albums and has starred in a string of television movies. Her most noteworthy accomplishment, however, is her critically acclaimed role in the Broadway smash 'Kiss of the Spider Woman.' Her story is a model of determination in the face of public ridicule and exploitation.

SharePoint for Dummies
Seems like a good book so far. Have been chucked into a role requiring SharePoint knowledge and Administration. Have done backend training but nothing for the front end so this book has helped me to get a grasp of what can be done with the front end of SharePoint to make it more user friendly for the people that use it. Havent yet finished the book but has definately helped me so far

I still feel dumb.
The book is great! and it helps where it can... This should be more of a review for Microsoft... Why the in the world would you write such a stupid program? WHY?!?!

Very Helpful
Was thrown into a project and knew little about SP 2003 at the time but this was a good intro and helped me get through at the time.

Great for users and techies alike...
I've often said that a good Dummies book allows me to get a broad understanding of a product or technology so I "know what I don't know".This title is a classic example of that...Microsoft SharePoint 2003 For Dummies by Vanessa Williams.It's a non-threatening use-focused coverage of SharePoint 2003 that is a good introduction to the topic at hand...

Williams goes after two different audiences here, and I'm surprised she pulled it off.She targets the average power user who might have access to build a site on the SharePoint server.With this book in hand, I would agree that a motivated person could do quite well on their own.She also targets tech people who want an overview of SharePoint so that they can get started quickly.Normally you can't mix those two groups and come out with something that's acceptable to either.Again, I think she actually succeeded.If I were going to start building SharePoint sites for a user base, I'd have enough information here to get started with an adequate mental framework of how it all fits.I'm sure I'd quickly need the "1000 page book" (as she puts it) to start pushing the boundaries of what's possible.But for basic "I need something now" sites, I could do it with the help of this book.

I was also impressed that she dealt with the cultural issue of collaboration software.As a long-time Notes/Domino developer, I know and understand all too well that collaboration isn't something you can mandate or force on people.People who get it will gravitate around the software right away.Those who view information as power will horde it and refuse to participate.And it doesn't matter how good of a developer you are or how slick the site is.The application will fail...By addressing these issues, Williams sets a realistic picture of what to expect if and when you install SharePoint.

Good material, and a good way to get your feet wet on SharePoint 2003...

Best book of its type on SharePoint 2003
I am a Microsoft trainer that has taught numerous SharePoint classes. Vanessa's work is the most straightforward intro book out there. She goes a step farther by including simple sample solutions for common issues. All this is a real help to someone trying to get things rolling. All SharePoint admins should keep several copies available. ... Read more
