Essential Sharepoint
Want to work more efficiently and effectively? Want to
improve productivity? Microsoft is betting that you do.
That's why it created Windows SharePoint Services--a set of
collaboration tools that helps organizations increase
individual and team productivity by enabling them to create
web sites for information sharing and
document
collaboration.
Through these team-oriented web sites, users capture and
share ideas, and work together on documents, tasks,
contacts, etc.--either among themselves or with partners and
customers. And if you have Windows 2003 Server, then you
already have SharePoint, since it's built right in. But
before you can enjoy the benefits of SharePoint, you need to
know how to turn it on, set it up, and get your applications
working with it.
Essential Sharepoint will help you do just that. It's not
only the most complete guide for setting up and using these
increasingly popular sites, but it also explains in detail
the integration that makes SharePoint exciting. Everything
you need to know about SharePoint is covered, including:
hosting choices
administration
customization
integration with Microsoft Office
developing new SharePoint functionality
when to use SharePoint portal server
Essential Sharepoint covers all the key topics for getting
up and running with this powerful and popular set of
collaboration tools. And it's not just for members of the
IT staff. This comprehensive guide is for anyone in an
organization who wants to explore Microsoft SharePoint in
order to foster collaboration with other users.
