Book Description

You've figured out the simple stuff-you can create a list, add some columns, and throw a Web Part on a page to display the list, but then what? Are you really taking advantage of everything SharePoint can do? This book will help you maximize all of SharePoint Server's potential. Whether you're a business user just trying to get more value, a SharePoint administrator trying to figure out what can be done, or a developer trying to decide if custom development is necessary, this book can help you. This book is designed to help you create solutions and take your SharePoint sites further. It not only describes the more advanced functionality of SharePoint but also walks you through steps to actually implement the solution. Because both of the authors are current SharePoint consultants and trainers, the examples and solutions provided are based on timely experiences with clients and students in the classroom.
