How This Book Is Organized
What can I say? SharePoint is vast. In many ways, this makes it a challenge to properly organize content written for this product. Nevertheless, the authors made a valiant effort to put the information together in a way that would make the most sense. The first four chapters cover what you will need to know in terms of changes to the WSS architecture, installation procedures, and issues related to MOSS 2007 in a server farm. The bulk of the text covers the services and features offered by SharePoint, including interoperability with other Microsoft Office applications. The final part of the book includes upgrading, web content management, web services, and the SharePoint object model.
- Chapter 1, Introducing Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007
This chapter formally introduces MOSS 2007 including its two-pronged purpose: facilitating collaboration between geographically dispersed team members and managing business content in an effective and secure manner. SharePoint's six key components are presented: Collaboration, Portal, Enterprise Search, Enterprise Content Management, Business Process and Forms, and Business Intelligence.
- Chapter 2, Changes in the WSS Architecture
MOSS 2007 is built on Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 (WSS) and all of the updates to WSS 3.0 are contained in this chapter including ASP.NET 2.0, master pages, page templates, event handlers, and many others.
