Preface

If your business needs to control its documents, structure its workflow, or share information over the Web, you need SharePoint. It’s simply the quickest way to fill those needs using standard tools business users already know: Microsoft Office and Internet Explorer. Best of all, SharePoint is free (well, kind of); SharePoint Services are part of Windows Server 2003 so if you have Windows Server 2003 already, you can download the installation from Microsoft and install it fairly easily.

In this book, I cover the Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 product editions as well as the underlying Windows SharePoint Services 3.0. I also cover how Share- Point integrates with Microsoft Office, SharePoint Designer, InfoPath, and Visual Studio.
