- Reviewed in the United States on November 19, 2010I have purchased 3 SP development books to take me from square one to developer of SP. Mind you, I am a seasoned .NET developer and this has helped tremendously with the tools etc. However, I really as new to SP and what I'd like to say is that this book is the book I have read with the most depth of detail as well as handholding. It really gets you where you need to be and I'll be career level grateful to these guys always. Awesome book!
- Reviewed in the United States on July 6, 2015Does the job if you have Visual Studio and you have access SharePoint environment. Gives you the starting point, then you can grow your talent through "business cases" and "Requirements".
- Reviewed in the United States on October 24, 2011When you get to chapter 3, page 160, you will find several MSDN Best Practice articles referenced. DOWNLOAD THOSE ARTICLES! Print them and put them in a binder. This best practice guidance from Microsoft has changed several times and this book was not published using the latest guidance on how to properly dispose of objects. In other words, the code contains A LOT of inaccuracies.
Page 160 also suggests a useful Visual Studio plug in called SPDisposeCheck. USE THAT TOOL because it HAS been updated as per the latest guidance and it will catch almost all of the inaccuracies. If the SPDisposeCHeck add-in says something does not need to be disposed then double check its warning flag against the MSDN articles referenced on page 160 to ensure you are not getting a false positive from the SPDisposeChecker. Every time I had a false positive, the SPDisposeCheck program actually included a note that told me that it "..may be a false positve." The tool is a life saver!
I did not give this book such a low rating because it was based on the original guidance from Microsoft alone. I was also annoyed by the fact that there was not a place listed in the front of the book to send in corrections. I also found several mistakes that had nothing to do with old guidance: For example, the note in the middle of page 174 states that certain SPSite and SPWeb objects derived from the listed implementations of SPContext do not have to be explicitly disposed. This is correct. Then on line 3 of the code on page 190 (Same chapter!), they improperly dispose of a SPWeb object derived from SPContext.Current.Web. Had the author read his own book or been using the SPDisposeCheck plug-in, he would have caught this. One page 164 it states that you need to bring the Microsoft.SharePoint namespace into scope with a using statement but the listing of the code (Listing 3-7) has no such statement. Next we move on to Listing 3-19 on page 184-185....in addition to the unnecessary disposal of a SPWeb object derived from site.RootWeb on line 36, this code fails to generate any output at all because the author forgot to assign the output string to the label...DOOHH!
And don't think for a second that all of the typos are limited to the terrible code...just look at "About the Authors" section...the second line states that Eric Carter was a mevelopment manager. Even a computer spell checker would have caught that. This book is terrible and I believe the large number of short but glowing reviews that were posted shortly after this book was published are bogus entries made by the authors or publisher. The reviews certainly were not written from anyone that read the book.
Listing typos from this book is like shooting fish in a barrel. You may have noticed that all of the mistakes I listed are contained in the first 1/4 of the book...I was so frustrated that I stopped reading on page 240 and wrote this review...I am going to finish the book but I wanted to write this while I was still upset.
If you buy this book, read it slowly, read every reference to the latest guidance from Microsoft, use the SPDisposeCheck Add-In for Visual Studio, and question every line of code!
- Reviewed in the United States on March 23, 2012So I read the other negative review of this book and I was like hmm ok, with his notice I should be to work around the problems, well it's obvious that p487 Content Types code he refers was never compiled and ran. As an IT instructor and developer I can't forgive that from the author.
If you buy this book expect to to do your own additional research and msdn and blog research...which begs the question why purchase it?
- Reviewed in the United States on December 14, 2010The title (and five star rating) say it all. Since SharePoint appeared for the first time, I tried to understand what it really is. Dependent on the book (or web article) I read, my understanding changed each time - without allowing me to observe some convergence :-) Then, I found this book and started to understand why people sometime claim that SharePoint is Microsoft's most significant product. As a software engineer / architect with well over 25 years of experience and background in math and theoretical physics, I immediately resonated with the well structured approach the authors took to explain SharePoint. Even more importantly, due to authors strong focus on exposing SharePoint features through Visual Studio, I am finally able not only to fully appreciate SharePoint for what it really is (software development platform - as different from a browser based tool for "powers users" who want to massage a website), but to also became nearly instantly able to use most sophisticated SharePoint features (SP Object Model based programming, Business Connectivity Services).
This book is so important that I asked every developer in my company to use it as a principal guidance.
- Reviewed in the United States on March 1, 2012This book covers all the basics and takes you into a pro level as you go through the chapters, very interesting to read, full of real life examples and sample code that actually works, it goes side by side with the best practices of SharePoint 2010 development. Definitely a must for every developer who deals with Sharepoint.
- Reviewed in the United States on June 23, 2011I found this book very useful for starting the SharePoint 2010 Development topics with Visual Studio 2010. This book provides a step by step to cover important SharePoint 2010 Development topics. I use this book as my first reference to get the Microsoft Certification 70-573. The book will not cover all the topics, but it was preparing me for the SharePoint 2010 development. Really recommend this book.
- Reviewed in the United States on July 18, 2013In the IT department, we purchase software, technical support books and hardware regularly for use and in order to furtgher develope skills and provide support to our end users.

1.0 out of 5 stars Hated it.
Bought this book. Never liked it. Bought the Ipad Kindle App version as well - still didn't make any difference. The authors fails to explain what you can use SharePoint 2010 and Visual Studio for in the real world. If they improve this for SharePoint 2013 I might buy it but they need to focus on what users actually need from SharePoint and not some drivel regarding all parts of the SharePoint architecture. I ended up selling it on Amazon. You're best sticking to Beginning SharePoint 2010 Development by Steve Fox.
