Honestly If I am asked what is the best MS white paper that I have ever seen published for SharePoint? hands down , I would say working with large lists in Office SharePoint Server 2007<\/strong> White paper<\/a>. When I first read this paper (not even publicly available ), I was very impressed with the depth of the knowledge , accuracy of the tests and more importantly how the content was organized and presented to the readers. Very interesting and a must read paper IMHO!<\/p>\n

I think there are three things that could make this article even better:<\/p>\n

1) It doesn’t end with a proper conclusion! The thing is there are so much information presented to the reader throughout this paper, but one argument I often hear is that “Man, I felt dizzy when I finished reading it \u2013 too much information!” . It would be great if they could add bunch of statements at the end of the article to kind of conclude the core messaging of the paper. This will help the reader remember key points arising from this fantastic write up.<\/p>\n

2) It is difficult to relate the presented best practices to WSS \u2013 this paper is written for MOSS 2007 as you can tell from the title! Albeit there are some attempts to draw a border between WSS and MOSS wherever required, but still after you finish reading this paper, it’s not easy to extract some WSS rules.<\/p>\n

3) Not a big deal, but I think four of the data access methods could be named better! For example, SPList with DataTable or SPListItems with DataTable – Nope, sorry, it doesn’t ring a bell for me! Maybe they kind of had to adopt this naming convention because of how method names are shown in captions in various charts (short names), but readers often have to refer back to the actual code to recall what that specific data access is all about.<\/p>\n
