<p>Author: Darvish Shadravan, Penelope Coventry, Thomas Resing, and Christina WheelerPublisher: Microsoft PressPages: 871ISBN: 978-0735666993Aimed at: Users of SharePoint who want to learn moreRating: 4.5Reviewed by: Kay Ewbank</p><p>The Inside Out series of books have a deserved good reputation, and this book is no exception, though the material stops short of full developer topics.</p><p>The book starts with an intro to SharePoint and its elements, along with a quick guide to what's new in SharePoint 2013, before moving on to look at what the authors call 'administration for business users' creating and modifying sites and site content. Next, list and library apps are considered. In the authors' opinion, using lists and libraries is what differentiates between using SharePoint as a proper collaborative platform, or as a glorified file-sharing tool. The chapter covers creating, designing and modifying list and library apps based on SharePoint's templates. Team sites are covered next, including using SkyDrive.</p><p>For many users, the strong ties between SharePoint and Office are what make it useful and interesting, and the next chapter shows how Office applications are used with SharePoint. Given the importance of this topic, I think the chapter was a bit skimpy, and even though some of the elements get more coverage as part of later chapters, I'd have preferred more here.</p><p><a href="http://www.i-programmer.info/bookreviews/78-visual-studio-a-general-net/6520-microsoft-sharepoint-2013-inside-out-.html">Keep reading...</a></p>
