Finally a book for the Site Owner
There are many books for administrators, developers, designers
and end users, but few for the site owner. This one is for you, the
SharePoint site owner and the SharePoint power user. It's also for
the developer who does not want to "reinvent the wheel" and create
a complex solution when a simpler one is available. It's for the
SharePoint administrator who is always asked to do the impossible
This is not a branding book, but everything here can be used as
part of your site design.
Customization you can do
This book is designed to get you started in customizing your
SharePoint site with the tools you have readily at hand. This book
has complete copy and paste solutions, and it also shows how each
solution was crafted and how it works. After working through a few
of the customizations and picking up some basic skills, you can
start to figure out how SharePoint has been put together and start
creating your own customizations. Everything in this book can be
done by a Site Owner or a Site Collection Administrator. Nothing in
this book requires the deployment of files to the SharePoint web
servers. Nothing in this book requires programming skills or Visual
Studio (but additional skills and tools are always good). All of
the examples can be duplicated using only web parts, SharePoint
Designer, and copy and paste from the book's web site. This is not
a branding book, it's all about improving the SharePoint user
experience. While you can duplicate all of the examples using the
step by step instructions, the book also explains how and why each
one works. The book also includes "getting started" chapters on
JavaScript, HTML, CSS, Web Parts and SharePoint Designer. This book
has a supporting web site There you will find all of the source
code, a place to ask questions, samples of many of the web parts in
a SharePoint site, along with any new additions.
