So yes, this is totally an advertisement for the best information I have been able to put my hands on recently about SharePoint.

First up, Dux Raymond Sy has a book SharePoint for Project Management that I have recently begun reading. I am not by any means a project manager, but this is definitely some good stuff. It should be on the required reading list for all Project Managers! I was able to meet Dux at SharePoint Saturday in Atlanta, and he was nice enough to sign my copy. You can learn more about Dux through his blog: http://meetdux.com and on twitter: http://twitter.com/meetdux.

Next, Tiffany Songvilay’s book So That’s How! 2007 Microsoft Office System: Timesavers, Breakthroughs, & Everyday Genius is a treasure trove of tips and tricks! I have referred several friends to this book, just to help them wade through the thousands of emails that we receive on a daily basis. Tiffany has a fun writing style that may have you singing 80’s tunes while reading! All of her tips and tricks can be implemented easily and with only a little effort from the end user. It really will make their lives easier! Tiffany’s blog is: http://volitionservices.com/ooe/default.aspx and follow her on twitter: http://twitter.com/tsongvilay1.

The next two books I have just received and are next on my reading list. I am very excited about both of them. I WON them! Yes, total excitement upon winning books about technology!

I won Professional Microsoft Office SharePoint Designer 2007 by Woodrow W. Windischman, Bryan Phillips, and Asif Rehmani at SharePoint Saturday. I have read a few blogs from Woody Windischman and have gotten to know him on twitter and am definitely looking forward to reading this book. I have been using SharePoint Designer for a couple of years (all self-taught) so I know that this will probably open up some more cool ideas for me.

My most recent win was from watching Todd Klindt’s netcast. Todd held a little contest and I was lucky enough to win a copy of SharePoint 2007 Disaster Recovery Guide by John Ferringer and Sean McDonough. I haven’t been anywhere that seemed to think DR for SharePoint was a priority and although I knew it was and screamed for a plan, I wasn’t the squeakiest wheel. However, I think that this will help me make my case, and ensure that DR plans are sound. I am looking forward to reading it!

Oh, and you can also follow Todd Klindt on twitter: http://twitter.com/toddklindt.

There are so many other great books out there, I know, I have MANY of them. These are just the most recent additions to my collection and I thought I would share my thoughts. Now if only I could talk them into giving me some sort of commission...
