Inside Microsoft Windows Sharepoint Services 3. 0 by Ted Pattison, Daniel Larson, Daniel Larson

From Barnes & Noble

The Barnes & Noble Review
SharePoint has come of age as a platform for developing custom business solutions. Now two top SharePoint developers (one honored as a Microsoft MVP) show you how to leverage this platform to the fullest. You'll learn how to create, debug, and deploy each of SharePoint's fundamental elements: the building blocks you can use to craft anything from content management to collaboration and workflow solutions.

The authors start with a practical overview of the diverse customization and development opportunities SharePoint Services now provides, and introduce core SharePoint development principles, from site provisioning to architecture. Next they present a developer-centric view of SharePoint site definitions, page templates, document libraries, and Web Parts (both traditional and AJAX-based). Their extensive introduction to SharePoint workflows inevitably touches on Microsoft's impressive Windows Workflow Foundation, too. You'll find plenty of code throughout: especially in their security chapter, which is replete with examples. Bill Camarda, from the July 2007 Read Only
