I’ve been looking for a book for SharePoint developers and until finding this book I hadn’t found any. Everything on the market is for administrators or really basic programming tasks. This book covers everything from Web Parts to Web Services to the BDC. It’s a one-stop shop for all the coding tasks you’ll need as a MOSS programmer.
Regarding the bad reviews earlier, did you guys even read the book?

This book is exactly what I needed to bring me up-to-date on the code side of SharePoint 2007. Having a considerable amount of 2003 development under my belt, I was able to use this book to bring me up to speed on the new API features. I found the sections on list events, workflows, and web parts to be the most helpful.

This book is a good intermediate overview of all the things that a developer might be asked to have an opinion on and I think this is a valuable book for a consultant who needs to have a thorough understanding of the possibilities. The contents of this book will give a new SharePoint developer credibility going into an interview or working on a SharePoint implementation for the first time. While this is typical feel-good Microsoft marketing and should not be the only resource a new developer would use to learn how to develop SharePoint all by themselves for the first time, it will help someone new to the technology to narrow down what piece of SharePoint development is most compelling to them and give them an idea of why you don’t want to be stuck being the only SharePoint developer in your company. This book is a great explanation of the magnitude of the effort your company is undertaking by choosing to implement SharePoint. Other audiences that would greatly benefit include IT Project Managers and Business Analysts.
