By D.L. Featherstone on May 21, 2002 Format: Paperback I agree with the other reviewers, but they never really read the title of the book if they are so upset with the book. It is a beginners book. Nothing more, nothing less. What I find handy about this book that you need not search every where for information. Just grab this book and find out what you need to know of the basics. It shows you with great graphic detail how to do it and what the results are. I am one of those people who just love to get everything handed to them through one simple portal, that's what this book does. If you want more in depth information look at one of the other books. Looking on the internet or technet or what ever else, costs lots of time for simple things and just does not 4.0 out of 5 starsHelpful By John Tapley on April 16, 2002 Format: Paperback This is an introductory guide! I needed something to get me started and this book did exactly what it said it would. I thought it was well worth the money. While some of the info can be found through other sources, it's critical to have the sources compiled for you...especially when you "don't know what you don't know". 5.0 out of 5 starsGreat Start By A Customer on April 11, 2002 Format: Paperback If you're new to SharePoint and want to find out the basics about the product, this book is a great start. Some of the information can be found on the Microsoft site, but there is enough other stuff to make it worthwhile. 5.0 out of 5 starsGood Introduction By Dr. R on April 12, 2003 Format: Paperback Verified Purchase This is a basic, introductory book, but it does a better job explaining the basics and how to install the software than most of the other books, including Que's Using Microsoft Sharepoint Portal Server. It was the only book that explained how to use the proxy configuration utility to make Sharepoint available over the net (the Que book didn't cover this detail). 3.0 out of 5 starsExtremely simple overview of Sharepoint By Pharmaman on November 13, 2001 Format: Paperback This book is designed for those users wanting a very simple overview of the functionality available in Sharepoint Server. It has almost no information that is not available either with the books that came with Sharepoint or the Online help. The only benefit that this book has in this regard is that it synthesizes this information for the reader. My recommendation is to spend your dollars on another more advanced book and learn the basics from the free resourceas available with Sharepoint. 2.0 out of 5 starsJust A Rehash of Microsoft's info... By J. A. on November 30, 2001 Format: Paperback Verified Purchase If you are looking for information beyond what's available on Microsoft's site, this book is not for you. It's just an overview of the basic functionality - not much meat - although, I will admit, I did find a proxy server solution that was very useful, however, I bet I could have found the solution on Microsoft's site. I was also very disappointed in its coverage of building custom webparts - again, just goes through the Microsoft overview of using prebuilt ones. I suppose, it might be a good intro for a person who's never heard of Sharepoint Portal Server before, or for someone who is just interested in the concept of it, but if you've read through MS's site information on it, then you've pretty much covered the material in this book. https://www.amazon.com/SharePoint-Portal-Server-Beginners-Guide/dp/0072194006
