The table of contents has now been posted to the exclusive content page. The table of contents includes titles and descriptions for all the chapters of the book.

In addition to the table of contents three exclusive excerpts have been posted earlier and these will remain available. As the book now enters the first revision phase any updates to the contents will also be made available as soon as it is ready.

More content will be added to the exclusive content page in the coming months, so if you want to get a sneak peek of the best SharePoint book ever, you should get on the list right away. Sign up in the menu to the right or go to the mailing list signup page now.

As part of the caring and nurturing of loyal mailing list subscribers I will at fairly regular intervals post exclusive content to the list. The last installment of exclusive content is a set of excerpts from the first three chapters. The excerpts, posted on a separate page here, is password protected and only list members will get that password. At least from me.

Now, if you still want to see this content you have two choices:

1. Wait until the content is posted on a public page. Can take a long time.

2. Join the mailing list! Instant access promised.

Here’s what you will get:

1. Working with web parts in a site definition (from chapter 4)

This 3-page excerpt explains how you would add web parts to your site definition using the AllUsersWebPart element. In addition you will be shown how you get the actual web part code from an existing web part so that you can pre-configure settings to be included in the site definition web part.

(PDF, 4 pages)

2. DelegateControls (from chapter 5)

Modifying appearance and behavior of existing pages can be accomplished using DelegateControls. These controls allow you to put new controls and content into a pre-defined area of a page, such as the search box, various links, or, if you have created your own pages, anywhere you put a DelegateControl control. Learn how in this short excerpt.

(PDF, 3 pages)

3. A deep dive into Email-enabled lists (from chapter 7)

If you ever wanted to have an email enabled custom list you should understand how email works with lists. Then you would need to write a single line of code. This excerpt will explain and show you how email enabling works under the hood.

(PDF, 5 pages)

To join the mailing list you can use the form on the right or go to the signup to the newsletter mailing list page. Either option will require you to confirm your subscription by clicking a link in an email you receive right after filling in the form. If you do not click you will not get the welcome message in which the password is revealed.

Or, you can just fiddle your thumbs until someone decides to post the excerpts in a public place
