Book Club: Building Solutions for SharePoint 2010 by: Sahil Malik

[shadeed]

For the latest Book Club offering, I'll be covering Sahil Malik's new book Microsoft SharePoint 2010: Building Solutions for SharePoint 2010.

Sahil's writing style is a combination of techical knowledge, product history, and his unique perspective which contains humor and a laid back approach which oftentimes is not the personality of a serious developer.

This book was highly anticipated for me, as I had the opportunity to attend an extended training session hosted by Sahil and he previewed select sections of the book before it went to press.
