The best thing we can do for our readers is to help them understand the expectations we have from this book. This way, as you are reading the book, you can get the most from it. When the team of authors started discussing this book, one of the key things we kept focusing on was the desire for the audience to be able to read through the chapters and use the information within the chapters to build solutions within their organization. While you learn lots of techniques in the pages of this book, the overall purpose is not to teach you how to create a workflow or how to configure a library, but instead to convey why you would want to perform those tasks. After reading this book, you should have the tools needed to look at business solutions objectively and then pick and choose the different approaches within SharePoint for building solutions that address the problems at hand.
In the title of the book we use the term real-world projects. Because this term can be slightly overused and underexplained at times, we want to be sure to define what we mean when we use it. In the context of this book, real world is defined as various scenarios encountered by the authors as we have used SharePoint as a tool to build solutions that address business needs. As the authors came together for this book, each of us submitted ideas based on concepts we have built solutions for. Each of the solutions has been implemented within one or more organizations. The solutions we selected are ones that we feel address a large audience. This approach allows us to offer solutions that most readers can relate to in their everyday work experiences.
