SharePoint 2010 Book Recommendations

I have not created a book list in quite a while and needed to put together an updated SharePoint 2010 book list for the folks who attend my classes. This list is not complete and unless otherwise noted only contains books I have personally reviewed.

Let me know of there are any other books you think I should review and possibly add to this list…

 

 

Categories of books below:

  • SharePoint 2010- “the big picture” / overview / understanding
  • SharePoint 2010 End Users / Site Owners / Power Users
  • SharePoint 2010 Administrator
  • SharePoint 2010 Developer
  • SharePoint 2010 Governance

 

SharePoint 2010 - “the big picture” / overview / understanding

Essential SharePoint 2010: Overview, Governance, and Planning (Addison-Wesley Microsoft Technology Series)
This book is for anyone wanting to find out what SharePoint can do. It's sometimes described as the book to give to your manager who knows nothing about SharePoint and wants to know what it can do while not having to learn every detail about how to do it.

My book of course!

This book is designed to get you started in customizing your SharePoint site with the tools you have readily at hand. This book has complete copy and paste solutions, and it also shows how each solution was crafted and how it works. After working through a few of the customizations and picking up some basic skills, you can start to figure out how SharePoint has been put together and start creating your own customizations.

Out of the many SharePoint books I have read, Real World SharePoint 2010 is my favorite. Each chapter is written by its respective industry guru. I thought the examples were fantastic and I learned something from nearly every chapter.
