Professional SharePoint® 2007 Web Content Management Development: Building Publishing Sites with Office SharePoint Server 2007

Chapter 2. Windows SharePoint Server 3.0 Development Primer

Before digging into Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 (MOSS) Web Content Management (WCM) development topics, developers must have a firm understanding of Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 (WSS). Of course, it is not possible to fully cover the subject of WSS development in a single chapter. It is a very large and far-reaching topic, as it is the foundation for everything in the SharePoint product stack. This chapter touches on some of the more important and relevant topics in WSS that are relevant to the WCM/Publishing topics covered in this book.

For in-depth development and architecture coverage of Windows SharePoint Services 3.0, see Inside Microsoft Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 by Ted Pattison and Dan Larson (Microsoft Press, 2007).
