For those that are less fortunate to attend TechEd you also missed Andrew Connell’s book release: Professional SharePoint 2007 Web Content Management Development Building Publishing Sites with Office SharePoint Server 2007.

Amazon states the book is for preorder but I have still already ordered my copy.  Just in case you did not know about the man Andrew Connell is within the SharePoint Blogosphere, you can see from the picture he posted, that there is a frenzy for his book.  The book description also incorrectly states that two Microsoft MVPs wrote this book; correct me if I’m wrong.  Contributors besides Andrew Connell include Spencer Harbar, Bob German, John Holliday and Matthew McDermott.

If you are a ASP.NET 2.0 developers and building content management sites using the SharePoint platform then this book is for you.
