[...] as we can afford.

Hello from Canada!

The ASC is one of the first securities commissions to be adopting the MOSS 2007 product line. and shifting away from a Linux based architecture. We’re replacing a PHP/PostgreSQL solution that was sorely failing the companies needs.

A MOSS 2007 “out of the box” implementation has gotten us very close to where we want to be, but we still need to write some custom code, and install some custom 3rd parties (Mondosoft Ontolica is great!).

Since we are a very small developer shop (3 developers, in an IT group less than 10 strong), it would be wonderful to get more resources (books and ebooks/CD-ROMs) that would help us support the MOSS 2007 systems that we’re about to launch.

I’ve found http://www.sharepointbuzz.com to be one of the more informative web sites on MOSS 2007 as I look for guidance in the SharePoint world. The climb up this huge learning curve has been tought, we’ve been on for the last 3 months, and I know that investors and registrants will be pleased with the results when we launch later this summer.

I’d be interested in any of the books, but here are the one’s I’d really like to read first:

1) Microsoft SharePoint: Building Office 2007 Solutions in C# 2005 by Scot Hillier
2) Professional SharePoint 2007 Development by 9 Authors
3) Real World SharePoint 2007: Indispensable Experiences From 16 MOSS and WSS MVPs by 16 MVPs

I need a better foothold in Sharepoint, and “Real World SharePoint 2007: Indispensable Experiences” and “Inside Microsoft Windows SharePoint Services 3.0″ are the how and the why. Sharepoint is very powerful, and is integrated with every deployed package I’m working with. Both of these books are technically detailed and instructive, and would be a fantastic help when good resources are hard to acquire locally.

I would have to say Inside Microsoft Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 by Ted Pattison & Dan Larson. I have used Ted’s website, blog entries and video tutorials several times to work through problems and have found him to be one of the best MOSS sources availiable. A collegue saw him speak at TechEd and, while she was a fan of his before, said that she has found a new respect for him as she found him very approachable when she went to him to ask a question.

I’m a total newby to SharePoint but want to start a profession out of this powerful technology. At the moment, I’m relying on online help and whatever web sources I could find to help me through the difficulty of learning this new sophisticated technology. I want the books:
1. Inside Microsoft Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 (Pro Developer) by Ted Pattison and Dan Larson
2. Professional SharePoint 2007 Development (Wrox)

Thank You.

* Inside Microsoft Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 by Ted Pattison & Dan Larson
* Inside Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 by Patrick Tisseghem

My picks. The first one since Ted Pattison seems like a fantastic teacher and a guide. His Visual Walkhroughs are great a treat…just check them out. I may never get to meet or learn from him, but i presume the book would do.

And i can not buy these books since they will take a long time to get published here in India.

And of course nothing like a good free Lunch :-)

“Real World SharePoint 2007: Indispensable Experiences From 16 MOSS and WSS MVPs” and “Professional SharePoint 2007 Development” both sound great. I am really keen to get a better understanding and in depth knowledge of creating more advanced sites.
