Project and Project Server resources for developers
I have the honor of sharing an office with Jim Corbin, who is the programmer writer for Project. Jim is the guy responsible for writing developer oriented documentation, articles, and the SDK for Project. So as you can imagine, he has great knowledge, expertise, and experience with everything related to Project and Project Server.
One of the advantages of sharing an office with Jim is that I get to learn a lot from him about what's coming for Project Server. Another great advantage is that Project PMs and developers come often to discuss about new features and cool enhancements related to Project and/or Project Server and I am lucky to overhear their discussions (I know I should mind my own business, but sometimes, I just can't help it).
So yesterday, the Evil Doctor PorkChop (Treb Gatte - Project Server Program Manager) came to visit Jim and we all ended up taking about Project blogs and books. So here I am passing up the word of great blogs and books about Project Server that Treb and Jim recommend:

These books were recommended by the Treb and Jim as great books in the market for Project Server:
Don't forget to visit the Microsoft Office Project 2003 Developer Center to find technical articles, reference documentation, downloads, solution starters, code samples, multimedia and more resources related with Project.
Thanks a lot to Jim and Treb for allowing me to dive into their conversation and for sharing these useful resources.
