Summaries and Customer Reviews are supplied by Amazon.com A no-nonsense guide to MOSS development. | Customer Rating: | This is not the best MOSS development book in the world; it covers the vast majority of subjects. However there are better written books available, the book is written by a large number of authors and has not been edited to blend the writing styles of the authors.
Having said that this should be a must buy for all developers as it includes two chapters that more than make up for the other shortfalls. The first is a chapter dedicated to creating a development environment using Virtual PC. This guide takes you step by step through the process of building a virtual machine for developing against.
The second chapter of note covers the Business Data Catalogue; this is perhaps the most useful and often overlooked aspect of SharePoint. The chapter explains how to craft the extremely verbose XML required to define a data source, and then goes on to explain how to assign custom actions to the data source as well as how to interact with the data via your own webparts.
All in all a rather lacklustre book made indispensable due to two very useful chapters. |
