“Building the SharePoint User Experience” is a book by self-proclaimed SharePoint expert Bjørn Furuknap. Yeah, that’s me. And I am not alone either, Apress will be the publisher and Microsoft MVP Sahil Malik will be the technical reviewer.

The Book, hereby referred to as The Book, focuses on understanding the SharePoint architecture from a user experience perspective. User experience in this sense is not to be confused with user interface; UI is just a small part of UX.

“Building the SharePoint User Experience” will dive deep into the details of how the SharePoint user experience is built. Using tools available to all developers and nothing more than a deep understanding of SharePoint architecture we will dissect and rebuild a SharePoint site all the way from the default out-of-the-box experience and into our very own, completely tailored and customized user experience.

Few IT books cover the depth required to truly master a subject. In ‘Building the SharePoint User Experience’ we break that pattern and go as deep as possible, where very few SharePoint developers have ever gone before. This is a take no prisoners, break for no one, bring in the cavalry book.

After reading The Book you will be left with a deep and solid understanding of how the SharePoint User Experience is built. You will also have gained practical and applicable knowledge that your projects and customers will love.

And you will have had a good time learning as well. Learning should be fun so while we do go deeper into the material than most other books we will not leave our sense of humor behind or be afraid to enjoy getting better at what we do. There will be dragons, private investigators, gun fights, femme fatales, and all the usual stuff you would expect from a deep technical IT book.
