Sharepoint books?

[King, Mindy]

I'll echo Michael's sentiments regarding SharePoint.  We have had a similar experience on our campus.
Our web developer suggests this book:
http://www.amazon.com/Microsoft-SharePoint-2010-Plain-Simple/dp/0735642281/

I don't have any resource suggestions but we use Sharepoint campus-wide here. I can tell you that the only people here that like it, particularly for building Web pages, are the ones that selected it for our use. I've been building Web pages for years now and I've never encountered a more clumsy, obstinate, and poorly designed program than Sharepoint for Web work. I only have limited access to all the admin functions so that may make a difference but the IT Web admin can't get certain scripts to stay saved in Web parts either. We think we've got something saved and poof it's gone. Or poof there is something new on the page that we didn't intend to add. Bad juju.

Subject: [WEB4LIB] Sharepoint books?

I am looking for books on Sharepoint that are not about setting up the sharepoint server but about creating content such setting up a website.  I am experimenting with sharepoint to possibly replace or at least supplement our current intranet site.  I have a blog going for news that is working well.  Our sharepoint is behind the USAF firewalls and is essentially a intranet.  Any suggestions?  I have created a webparts page but do not see how to get it to act more like a regular webpage.  When I click on the page to display it, it shows all of the web part names. I do not want that.
