The “SharePoint Shepherd” Robert Bogue reports he’s well on his way to creating the next version of his seminal book, “The SharePoint Shepherd’s Guide for End Users,” with a target release date of mid-June. To make this version even better, he’s soliciting community input.
In a note, he wrote: “We’d love to hear about either the SharePoint 2007 tasks that you or the users you work with are commonly needing to remember. Or, if you’ve had time to spend with SharePoint 2010, we’d love to hear about key tasks, concepts or areas that you believe will be critical to users being able to effectively use the 2010 version of SharePoint. Any thoughts that you can share about the challenges you’ve been having with getting your users to be effective are welcome as well.”
Robert says he’ll send a complimentary copy of the 2007 book—or the 2010 book when available—to the 10 best responses. Send your input to me at drubinstein@bzmedia.com; we’ll forward them to Robert and publish the best ones here as well!
