You've probably noticed I haven't been blogging much lately. That's because myself and two of my friends, Shane Young and Steve Caravajal, have been working on a new book. Inside SharePoint Administration should be available November 4th. You can preorder it from Amazon today. Here's the chapter list:
Chapter 1: SharePoint 2007 Components and Services
Chapter 2: Architecture and Capacity Planning
Chapter 3: Installation and Configuration
Chapter 4: Security : Permissions and Policies
Chapter 5: Command Line Administration Using STSADM
Chapter 6: Navigation and Taxonomy
Chapter 7: Managing Customization
Chapter 8: Configuring and Customizing Search
Chapter 9: Profiles, Audiences, and My Sites
Chapter 10: Creating and Configuring Internet-facing Sites
Chapter 11: Optimizing Performance
Chapter 12: High Availability, Backups, and Disaster Recovery
Chapter 13: SharePoint with Windows 2008 and SQL Server 2008
Chapter 14: SharePoint 2007 administration with PowerShell
I wrote chapters 2, 5, & 12 – 14, so of course they're the best. Here is the publisher's official page on the book. I think there's a lot of great information for administrators in the book, and I think it fits well into where people are in the product's lifecycle. It's not a beginner's book, it covers in depth topics and things that Shane, Steve and I have learned after using the product for the past two years. Please check it out.
