Each month I try to create a new “Fivelist” and this moth it’s time to give you a list of 5 must read SharePoint Books. If you have missed out any of the earlier fivelists you find them in the navigation above.

Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 Administrator’s Companion

This book is the definitive guide to manage your Moss environment. I personally like Bill English way of writing and the book includes everything you need to know to get a good grip of end-to-end deployment. The book also includes a CD with job aids and you can also find get the book in e-book format.

 

 

 

Microsoft Office Sharepoint Server 2007 Best Practices

If you have read it, you just have to. It’s another great book with Bill English and this time he has done it together with Ben Curry, both MVP’s. What’s also terrific with the book is the “Notes from the field” which is articles, blog post etc. from other prominent SharePoint People. The Best Practices book include everything from planning and governance to deployment, develop and operation.

 

 

Inside Microsoft Office SharePoint Server

This is a comprehensive hands-on book written by Patrick Tisseghem who sadly passed away last year. The book is not for beginners and expects some knowledge about both programming and SharePoint . It’s an easy to read book and has many and very good examples in it.

 

 

 

Professional SharePoint 2007 Web Content Management Development: Building Publishing Sites with Office SharePoint Server 2007

Probably the longest book title I have ever ready but if you want to get into Web Content Management with SharePoint, Andrew Connell’s book is for you. It includes everything you need to know. From beginning to end (is there an end?) and has great examples.

 

 

 
 

Real World Sharepoint 2007: Indispensable Experiences from 16 MOSS and WSS MVPs

16 MVP’s come together to share their knowledge can’t fail. The book is sort of an extension of what these people have done in their blogs and from within their specific SharePoint Field. It includes real world examples that in some cases requires quite a good knowledge about development, but if you are in the field, it’s a great book.

 

 

 

Since this is a Fivelist I need to stop know but I do like to also promote my fellow compatriot Göran Husman’s book. Beginning Sharepoint 2007 Administration: Windows Sharepoint Services 3.0 and Microsoft Office Sharepoint Server 2007 (darn everyone has long titles…)

I also want to say that keep your eyes and ears open for more books coming up, and they might come up from places you have not expected. Promise to tell you more within the coming weeks…
