 best book to understand WSS 3.0 July 2, 2008
This book covers all the basics and inner working you need to know about WSS. The code examples are also good. Great book if you are preparing for 70-541
An excellent book June 17, 2008
I was very selective on picking out a book on SharePoint. I needed a crash course and this book provided it. I hired consultants to help me with my project and they noticed it on my desk and mentioned how helpful it was for them as well.
 It was ok June 9, 2008

A decent overview; the book makes many comparisons to older versions of SharePoint Services which I was not interested in as I did not use the previous versions. That dimension of the book was a waste of time for me and just added confusion as it added a lot of additional terms and descriptions of approaches that are no longer relevant. If you are coming from what they refer to as Version 2 then these sections might be helpful.
The authors push their personal preference in design. I don't mind an author putting forth a preference but this author puts forth some things as the "right" solution that will make a seasoned programmer raise an eyebrow.
Good foundation but rough on the Edges May 29, 2008
I found the book insightful but the examples and associated lab materials were a major letdown. From the book's back cover: "Get Microsoft Visual C# and XML code samples on the Web". Note: No url is given.
When I found the book's Microsoft site (it is from MSPress) I get this link; [...]. It is only a single line correction with no hints of where to get the book's code samples from!
The lack of samples was quite frustrating as some chapters make explicit reference to sample projects.
The books itself is well written and very solid on theory.
Great intro to SharePoint development April 9, 2008

I was tasked with writing a connector to SharePoint for a third-party database. I didn't even know SharePoint existed before I was assigned this project. Of all the books I looked at, Pattison's book stood out as the most useful introduction to SharePoint development. This book provided helpful examples for my project and answered about 80% of my questions. A second edition could easily cover the rest along with some of the gotchas.
One burning question the book answered was whether one needed MOSS to do development. The answer was that WSS (included with Windows Server 2003) is sufficient.
Since I wasn't a Microsoft .NET developer some of the companion books I recommend for SharePoint development are Scribner's book for workflows, Liberty (et al)'s, and Hilyard (et al)'s books on C#. I'm still looking for a good book for ASP development. It was a bit of a struggle using both Walther's and MacDonald (et al)'s books.
