Cause I just haven't had the opportunity to keep up on my summer reading list ;-)
ReplyDeleteWe've got heaps of sites now as part of our teamsite collaboration application.
ReplyDeleteThe top level navigation just isn't cutting it.
A search based site directory solution should ideal.
That's why I'd love to win this book.
Regarding the cahotic way we've used SharePoint untill now @ my company, this is the kind of reading that can give us benefits :-)
ReplyDeleteRegarding the cahotic way we've used SharePoint @ my company, those blueprints would be welcome for the future :-)
ReplyDeleteI personally feel it will be good book and useful to us as we are in the process of migrating 2007 to 2010 and this book may help us setup best practices for better collaboration and automating most parts of the intranet site like delegation while OOTO, automatic site provisioning and project managment. Would like to have this book.

ReplyDeleteWhy I want this book ?
ReplyDeleteEvery day I am busy trying to deliver value for my customers and let their knowledge of the platform grow.
This means I have to stay on top of the information. Creating business applications is so very important when you are working with SharePoint (so much more then just storing your office documents) but still a tricky task to do.
A good book to provide blueprints would be very helpful, not only for myself, but to lend out to customers for creativity and plain solutions.
So that is why I would want to win the book, to give myself more insight and to help my customers gain insight in what they can develop in order to take next steps in the 21st century way-of-working.
I would be very happy to win this book because I just discovered it and its chapters are very intereting !!
ReplyDeleteThey covers more than 95% of the kind of requets I encounter every day !
That would be so great !
The reason why I would like to win this book is to enhance my knowledge of SharePoint and to learn more about building enterprise applications using SharePoint.
ReplyDeleteI would like to win this book to increase my knowledge of SharePoint and to develop better enterprise applications based on SharePoint.
ReplyDeleteJust curious to see if we implemented some of our solutions the right way (= as described in this book..)
ReplyDeleteWow this is exactly the book I need - practical application rather than technical wizardary. The business often don't know what SharePoint is capable of and therefore tend to think of it as nothing more than a fileshare replacement. I can use this book to show them what they could have and then quickly make it happen - that should get the ball rolling to start exploiting more of the dormant potential.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a great book, full of ideas I can use in my job !
