I was reading Mike Walsh<\/a>‘s new book Teach Yourself SharePoint 2007 in 24 hrs<\/a> over this weekend. A fantastic book for beginners and intermediate users who quickly want to get some brief understanding of the some intresting SharePoint topics.Well, I read\/scan read every SharePoint book that comes to the market and I don’t care about the audience. It’s amazing how every single book has something new to offer. Don\u2019t let them slip under your radar , no matter how good you think you are!<\/p>\n

Although Mike doesn’t get too deep into the discussions (and that’s because of the nature of the book as everything must be wrapped up in 24 sections), I guess he has covered a good chunk of information and lots of leads on intresting topics not covered anywhere else.No fluff , simple wordings, lots of screenshots and real world content are all among the most obvious positive characteristics of his book. I must say Good job to my fellow MVP!\u00a0 I am very impressed by your book.<\/p>\n

Chapters in Mike’s book that really caught my eyes:<\/p>\n

Hour 13 and Hour 14 where he talks about WSS 3.0 Search and leveraging Search Server 2008 Express.<\/p>\n

Hour 17\u00a0 and Hour 18 where he presents OneNote 2007 and Access 2007 Integration with SharePoint.<\/p>\n

In short, You can use Access 2007 to report against SharePoint lists. Bascially any SharePoint list can be stored as an Access 2007 *table*, so ineasted of connecting to the lists.asmx Web service (for example in your Reporting Services data source) , you bascially get Access 2007 reporting facilities to report against that list (some restrcitions apply). Needless to say that joins are working nicely too! . Finally reverse operation is also doable: You can add an access table to a SharePoint site as a list.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
