2.10. Summary

This chapter provided a high-level overview of WSS 3.0 from the perspective of a developer. One of the most important points to take away from this chapter is the difference between uncustomized and customized files, as well as SharePoint customization compared to SharePoint development. This chapter also compared common ASP.NET 2.0 development topics to SharePoint development topics. Although this chapter provided only an overview of WSS 3.0, as it is a very large topic that warrants a book of its own, developers creating MOSS Publishing sites must have a good grasp of the fundamental concepts covered in this chapter, as they are pervasive throughout the complete SharePoint product stack, including Publishing sites.
