    Very useful overview
    I’m certainly not new to SharePoint, I’ve been developing on it since the 2003 version, and yet I still found this book very useful. It works as a nice overview of the product, and I will be making it book #1 for new SharePoint devs. I like the writing style, I wasn’t bored by lengthy passages of details which I would immediately forget anyway. Quick read that gets you started down the right path rather than a comprehensive bible that is intimidating to open.The book was rushed to publication as can be seen by some superficial typos and grammar issues, but I was more than willing to overlook these since it meant that I got the book in my hands when I needed it, not 6 or 12 months after SharePoint shipped.

    Seems Rushed, But Still Solid
    First, this book is good. I would recommend it without question to developers who are working on the SharePoint platform. Sahil Malik covers many of the new features as well as goes over some of the basics in a practical, mostly easy to read manner; there’s practical advice in every chapter that you’ll want to highlight and tuck away in your brain.However, it’s pretty apparent that the book was rushed (at least editorially) due to the large number of grammar mistakes, awkward sentences, terrible analogies (some of them a bit inappropriate in any textbook), and somewhat questionable _structure_ of the content.Again, Sahil does a good job of capturing a lot of the key changes in 2010 and gives good examples (chapter 5 being the most interesting to me, personally). If I were grading on content alone, the book would be closer to 5 stars. It’s the editing team at Apress that have let down Mr. Malik by not putting enough attention in properly structuring and organizing the content and not performing adequate proofreading. I feel that many of the concepts and ideas could have been organized a bit differently and more coherently to help the reader better link the concepts together and have a clearer path to ramping up. It may have helped if the book had a more focused target audience (Mr. Malik himself points out that the book is broad in nature).That said, as I mentioned in the opening of the review, I would definitely recommend this for SharePoint developers who are transitioning or preparing to transition from 2007. Despite it’s flaws, it’s still worthy of the time and money that you’ll invest in it. I do wish that the author had gone into more detail regarding best practices and design patterns for developing solutions in SharePoint; this is an area that is sorely missing in terms of publications. Mr. Malik might have made the book even better by incorporating the different examples around a central solution or problem instead of the scattershot approach of one-off examples. In other words, his examples (in a book with “Building Solutions” in the title) would have been better served in the context of a more comprehensive, overarching example.

    Best book for SharePoint 2010 Development
    My review of Sahil Malik’s book on SharePoint Development is a long time coming, but I am compelled to let everyone know how wonderful it is and how much it has meant to me to have it as a reference. In full disclosure, I have known Sahil for many years, and have sat through many interesting presentations he has given on software development.This was one of the first books I acquired in my SharePoint 2010 library. The opening chapter is well worth the purchase because it gives step-by-step instructions on configuring your development environment. And, as a typical developer, that will be your first step in really getting under the hood in SharePoint.Also, the section on Managed Metadata and Content Organizer is excellent. I found these sections extremely relevant to recent SharePoint project I was working on.While not as “heavy” a volume as some books on this subject, I find myself coming back to it again and again. There are definitely some real gems in this volume. I purchased both the hard copy and Kindle editions, not out of support for a friend, but because I really relied upon the material when dealing with SharePoint 2010 – which is a complex, and often difficult system to master.

  4. Amazon Customer –

    Not For Beginners
    As a student trying to learn Sharepoint, I found this book to be useless. The book starts off telling you that you can’t do anything with Sharepoint unless you have a quad-core workstation with 8 gig and a quad-core server with hyper-V and 16 gig of RAM. If this were true, then nobody could learn it unless you had a rich backer. Although, this may be true, I did install it on my dual core 4 gig systems and it seems to run. Maybe not at production levels, but we are reading your book to learn right? I would next like to point out the layout of the book. The 6pt font is unreadable. The pages have loads of whitespace, copious borders. They could have bumped it up to 7pt. As it is, I’m tempted to pull my magnifying glass out of my OED. There is no overview, not even an explanation as to what the purpose of Sharepoint is! Aaaaarg, why am I bothering? Look, if you’re a beginner like me, this is not the place to start. It might be a good advanced book, I can’t tell, although the physical layout of the book will make your eyes bleed. I’ll keep it. Maybe it will be useful later.

    This book is about 20mm or 3/4 of an inch thick (so not huge) and manages to dig a little under the surface of a comprehensive range of SharePoint 2010 topics. The level it goes to is enough to get a SharePoint 2010 implementation project off the ground, provides enough detail for simpler site types like publishing webs (content managed sites). In other areas it does no more than get you started. For example, it gave me enough information to be able to set up a Business Intelligence site and author a simple PerformancePoint dashboard given an existing SQL Server Analysis Services Cube but not enough to build a complete production quality site for this purpose. I’m going to need a more detailed book perhaps specialising on PerformancePoint and SQL Server Analysis services to do that.This said every SharePoint 2010 developer needs this book or one similar to get started, but most developers will soon need to extend their SharePoint 2010 library when they need more detailed information on specific features and site types.I have given 5 stars because this book is not trying to be the only SharePoint 2010 book you ever need, it sets out to provide the essentials to get you started as a developer. Accepting that some details need to be search out and found on the internet and this book leads you in the right direction I think the books achieves it’s aim.

    Good technical/developer book for SharePoint 2010. But it lack details in the example programs you write and the instructions it asks you to execute to learn the plataform. I found myself giving up on many of the examples the author asks you to write, just because they were not clear enough or did not provide enough detail

  7. S J –

    One of the Best Book. Must be read by all SP 2010 developers. I learnt a lot in this book.
