1a. SharePoint is a consultant's dream because you can really rack up the billable hours.
1b. SharePoint is a third party tool developer's dream because it takes many third party tools to make it do anything reasonable.
Chapter 2 in Scot Hillier's "Microsoft SharePoint - Building Office 2007 Solutions in C# 2005" contains a very detailed exercise in setting up a SharePoint development environment.
If anyone finds a reasonable way to move an application/site from your development SharePoint environment to your production SharePoint environment, I'd love to hear about it!
I'd like two attempts please :)
