Patrick Tisseghem has just written a couple of articles for MSDN on building Windows SharePoint Services solution with Visual Studio 2005 Extensions.  Well a couple of articles is putting it lightly it's 58 pages of printed material that is more than a starting point it's everything you need to know to build solutions on WSS.

On the surface this seems like it's only for WSS but it also applies to MOSS as well.
