Purchase Microsoft SharePoint: Building Office 2003 Solutions Purchase Advanced SharePoint Services Solutions Before buying any book, readers would do well to understand the philosophy of the author as well as the content of the book. The first pillar of my philosophy came early in my career as a Visual Basic trainer. Starting with version 3.0 and straight through version 6.0, I trained thousands of professional programmers. This experience taught me how to present complicated material simply and to order the presentations as a set of building blocks. My books are written in the same way. I want people to read the book from cover to cover, and I always assume previous knowledge in later chapters. In short, the book is not intended as a reference, but rather a learning experience. The other key to understanding my philosophy is that I strive for practical business uses as opposed to obscure technical feats. Several years ago, I asked a colleague what professional developers wanted in a book. He responded simply, “Code they can steal.” I have never forgotten this advice and it has been the foundation of every book I have written since. In this book you will find tons of code, examples, and exercises that are practical and solve actual limitations of the Office System. Microsoft SharePoint TOC 1. SharePoint Business Solutions 2.
