I want to start developing on share point. I already have experience with VS.NET 2005 and VS.NET 2008.
My question is, If I download Sharepoint Services 3.0 to my virtual server 2003 will I be able to start learning to develop in share pint?
Thanks
Yes, WSS (windows sharepoint services 3.0) can be installed to Windows Server 2003. You should also download the WSS Developer SDK:

Also the VSeWSS tools for VS2008 to deploy to SharePoint would also be useful for a beginner:

There are more advanced tools like SPVisualDev and WSPBuilder on CodePlex but when the time comes to need them, you’ll know.
