Excellent - A Must Have
Don't bother buying the Resource Kit - buy this book instead. It explains the architecture and lets you know upfront what is and is not currently available in the 1.0 release of the product.Hacks to provide functionality that should have been in the product are covered (although with strong warnings about no support from Microsoft). If you've suddenly been handed a project involving SharePoint, buy this book! It will save you many hours of grief.

If you need training wheels, keep walking!
If you want to know how to install and configure the SharePoint out-of-the-box user experience, your expectations won't be met by this book. But, if you want to know the product inside and out (but especially inside!) then don't move an inch - your here!There's no other place to get this detailed level of information - not even the resource kit! The more tedious parts come with click-by-click instructions. We are a Microsoft SharePoint ISV and have accomplished a number of significant SharePoint and Team Services implementations in both the Federal and commercial market. I wish I had this book before we started. Yes, the book is technically challenging. It "gives away" a lot of the tips and tricks that it took several years to learn while developing knowledge-based applications over the Exchange storage system. It exposes these secrets so that just about any experienced developer can produce truly flexible, re-deployable knowledge applications and portals. If you're afraid to skin your knees, stay in the sandbox.

Not good
This book (especially the beginning) contains lots of unnecessary, story-like and useless text. I have read the first 70 pages and I hope the rest of the book is much better.
