Essential SharePoint 2010: Overview, Governance, and Planning (Addison-Wesley Microsoft Technology Series)
|
(3 Votes)America is the first world power to inhabit an immense land mass open at both ends to the world’s two largest oceans—the Atlantic and the Pacific. This gives America a great competitive advantage often overlooked by Atlanticists, whose focus remains overwhelmingly fixed on America’s relationship with Europe. Bruce Cumings challenges the Atlanticist perspective in this innovative new history, arguing that relations with Asia influenced our history greatly.
Cumings chronicles how the movement westward, from the Middle West to the Pacific, has shaped America’s industrial, technological, military, and global rise to power. He unites domestic and international history, international relations, and political economy to demonstrate how technological change and sharp economic growth have created a truly bicoastal national economy that has led the world for more than a century. Cumings emphasizes the importance of American encounters with Mexico, the Philippines, and the nations of East Asia. The result is a wonderfully integrative history that advances a strong argument for a dual approach to American history incorporating both Atlanticist and Pacificist perspectives.

The contebnts of this book are very good, however, the tables are not legible on my Kindle. The font is too small and it does not scale up like the font does for text that is not in table.

Essential SharePoint 2010 provides a well written overview of what you need to know for standing up SP2010. While other books may delve into the nitty gritty of SharePoint particulars, this book provides a solid background for the functions that the SharePoint platform provides.
In addition to the easy to read screenshots (not all books make the screenshots easy to read!), I found many of the tables helpful and organized in a way that I could use them for our implementation. The Key Points at the end of the chapter reminded me of sections that I may have "glazed over" while reading.
I'm not an IT guy or a SharePoint guru, but I will be doing a lot of end-user training. This book provided me a very strong basis to start from and I'm sure it will be a useful resource going forward.

This book provides a good insight on governance and planning for 2010 but lacks on the overview. If you are looking for anything in depth on sharepoint features then this is not the book but if you'r looking for strategy and planning then its a great resource.
A good book to have going for client meetings and implementation.
