So you've just installed SharePoint. Or you're about to. How do you get the most out of your investment? This is a book about Microsoft's SharePoint platform, with a particular focus on three commonly requested topics: end-user features, operational and configuration needs, and creating effective solutions. This book was written because collaboration, knowledge and content management, and Web accessibility are three of the most sought-after features in a corporate software solution, and one of the key products that is the basis for most Microsoft-based solutions is SharePoint. Because of this functionality, SharePoint is perhaps one of the most important server products that run on Windows Server. If you want to deploy SharePoint in your enterprise, upgrade from previous versions, and need a concise guide to help create business-focused Web applications, workflow solutions, and simply a fantastic collaboration environment with SharePoint, you're starting in the right place. This book provides a great user-level guide to Microsoft's latest version of SharePoint, along with customization techniques and some insight and "gotchas" regarding the technologies involved.
