Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 (WSS) is a built-in feature of Windows Server that allows for the development of collaborative business applications. Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 (MOSS) is an integrated server offering that leverages the WSS 3.0 features of Windows Server and adds an additional 100+ collaborative features. With WSS 3.0 and MOSS 2007 combined, you can create a variety of highly collaborative business applications. Using numerous practical, real-world examples, this book discusses implementing custom master pages, programming against site pages, implementing custom application pages, developing custom server controls, and extending existing controls.
I've read this book and refer back to it all the time. We're rolling out MOSS 2007, with custom site definitions, using feature stapling, custom cross site navigation, features with receivers. I've created content types, list definitions out of this book. I easily use this book more than any other. The reading is more in depth that a lot of other books that I've read on MOSS, but I appreciate learning and understanding the details. I have found that I've had to reread a chapter, or come back to a chapter to digest the information. The examples are good. The only criticism I'd have of the book, is that I wish there was more of it.
