SharePoint 2010 at Work

03/09/2012 · No Responses

If you work with SharePoint, you may have discovered that there are countless tricks for using this platform to solve real-world problems—and you certainly wouldn’t mind learning some of them. That’s the purpose behind EndUserSharePoint, a community site that lets end users share ingenious new ways for putting SharePoint to work.

This insightful and entertaining book presents a compilation of popular, well-written articles from the site, published by contributors for people who use SharePoint at their companies but don’t have access to its technical server side. Each engaging story puts you into the narrative as a participant, rather than a passive observer, so you can easily visualize the situation and share the “aha!” solution with the author. Learn some tricks, gain some insight—and have fun doing it.

These articles will help you:

Build a documented framework for evaluating whether your company is getting the most value from SharePoint
Create documentation and script management with OneNote and a SharePoint library
Use the Data View Web Part to create hyperlinks from existing SharePoint data
Implement data visualization in SharePoint without access to the server
