One of the projects that I'm going to be working on this year is to setup Sharepoint Server 2007 at my workplace, I have no knowledge of Sharepoint server and very little on Sharepoint services so I'm looking for some resources or recommended books for the installation and setup from scratch. ANy help on this would be great. Thanks.

I also intend to install the Sharepoint SLK once I have things up and running but I undertstand there are no authoring tools like there were in Class Server so I'm also looking for some good SCORM compliant authoring software but that can wait for now.

We're looking at Sharepoint Server because of the added features especially the "My Site" part as this will enable our students to create portfolios. The server spec is fine, it will be running on a 2.3Mhz Xeon Duel core duel processor with 4GB of Ram.

Its the install, setup and terminology etc that I'm really gonna need some help with.

I'm looking at getting these books:

http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/...ef=sr_1_1/104-6313703-3867159?ie=UTF8&s=books
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Microsoft-S...0470099410/ref=pd_sim_b_4/203-2824741-5634329

 

The admin companion is a must have, but there really for maintaining operational systems, not always the best for getting one off the ground, hopfully the dummies book will cover that though

any perticular aspects apart from mysite you will be wanting to use?


Wagner are you refuring to the Sharepoint Learning Kit? the SCORM certified one?
i've been looking at ways to use something like that to benefit CF users with structured study planners and such, give me a PM if you know much about it

Si, happy to help a bit more when you have more specific questions, the books look sound tho but im not sure the extend the dummies guide will go into
Sharepoint 2007 books for IT Pros (courseware and such) should be available march/april 2007 and as that date draws near there should be more and more material available for it

also as AJ points out the usergroup is a great resource for information advice, and any newsgroups frequented by the MVPs are always handy as well

 

I ordered my books but they've not arrived yet, I found this though so for anyone interested here the link http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/winsharepointadmin/HA100211591033.aspx

 

You might want to have a read of this too
http://technet2.microsoft.com/Offic...3994-477f-9e6d-570812c3d5131033.mspx?mfr=true

at 900+ pages its almost as long as my Sharepoint 2007 Administrators Companion hehe

 

This probably won't help you much with your specific goals Si, but I wrote almost half of this book when the primary author suddenly became "unavailable".

 

Thanks, that should make plenty of reading. I'm much the same as wagnerk as this is a side project that only gets my attention when I have spare time. So not a lot at the moment really.

 

Ahh, the british educational system at its finest!

I can relate to you all!
