Content Deployment - 'Bible' - The complete Guide

This time I want to introduce the blog of Stefan Goßner. This man works as a 'Escalation Engineer' for SharePoint. This month Stefan Goßner wrote a beautifull ode about the Content Deployment funtionality of SharePoint 2007: A while ago I created a deep dive article series covering the WSS content deployment and migration API which helped many people to develop their own applications to do export and import in a customized manner. Today I will start a new article series which will discuss all aspects of Content Deployment – with other words the MOSS feature sitting on top of the WSS API. Most customers see this feature as a monolithic implementation which does not allow any customization – but that is not the case as you will see in future chapters of this article series.
