SharePoint 2007 is an integrated platform around which enterprises can develop intranet, extranet, and Web applications. Because these applications share a server suite, functionality like content management and enterprise search is integrated throughout, which improves collaboration and information sharing for all end users.

Working with Content Types, Chapter 6 of Beginning SharePoint 2007: Building Team Solutions with MOSS 2007, introduces developers to SharePoint's various content types, which fall into categories such as business intelligence, folders, lists and page layouts.
