Todd Bleeker's 12 Hive

Reading Is Fundamental

If you are an Information Office Worker or new to Windows SharePoint Services (WSS), check out my latest book: Microsoft Windows SharePoint Services Step by Step. I wrote a quarter of the content and put together the practice CD. Olga Londer, Penny Coventry, and James Edelen were great to work with too.

My plans are to write two new technical books for SharePoint v3. One would be for programmers that are new to SharePoint and need to learn what the v3 environment has to offer. The other would be for experienced SharePoint v2 programmers that need to understand how to move their v2 implementations to v3, take advantage of some advanced v3 only techniques, and consuming v3 as a development platform rather than just a knowledge management system. If you have ideas that you would like to see included in these efforts, please email me directly at my Mindsharp email address.
