To my lovely wife, Sung, who supported me tremendously during the writing of
this book, and to my team at Jornatathe smartest and hardest-working bunch of
folks Ive ever worked with.

Scott

For my family, whose support and dedication and willingness to eat takeout made
it possible for me to write, and for the incredible SharePoint community, from
whom I have learned so much and who inspire me to pay it forward.

Sue

To my wife, Marisa, our four daughters, and our parents: thank you for all of your
support and encouragement during the past 18 months. My contributions to this
book would not have been possible without you and the sacrifices you have all
made on my behalf. Love you all!

Chris

We started the project that became SharePoint with an ambitious goalbring together collaboration, content management, and portals into a single experience that connects people and teams inside and outside organizations. Amazingly, this same vision continues to drive us today13 years later! We are fortunate that SharePoint has been one of the fastest-growing server products in Microsofts history. Over 80% of the Fortune 500 depend on SharePoint every day to achieve business goals, and were excited to deliver new releases of SharePoint to more customers every day through our Office 365 cloud service.

Much of the success of SharePoint has to be attributed to the early adopters who saw the vision way back in the 2001 release. Three of those early adopters were Scott Jamison, Susan Hanley, and Chris Bortlik. They helped shape the product, provided critical feedback, and have worked roughly 30,000 hours each on projects involving SharePoint technology. Combined, they contribute over 40 years of experience with the product and its precursor offerings. More expertise and insight is hard to imagine.

Im proud to recommend this bookyoull find yourself reaching for it often; it will likely be one of the biggest factors in achieving your successful adoption of SharePoint.

First, Id like to thank Pearson for giving me yet another opportunity to write a book, with special thanks to Joan Murray and the rest of the Pearson team for shaping the book into something great.

This book could not have come to fruition without the expertise of Susan Hanley and Chris Bortlik. Their experience and perspective are invaluable to projects like this; every team should be lucky enough to have members like them. Sue and Chris provided useful insight, fantastic writing, and real-world expertise to make this a high-quality book. Their passion is unmatched in the SharePoint and Office 365 space.
