New Design and Build Guide for MOSS 2007
This is a topic near and dear to my heart. I've spent many hours helping customers plan and execute a wide range of customizations for MOSS 2007.
Now, the ECM Team (Enterprise Content Management) has published an exhaustive paper on these topics. At least, I was exhausted reading it! No, really, it's a great guide and covers so many areas that normally don't even get touched on.
