We had a great overview of SharePoint architecture delivered by Paul Holdaway and Pete Mellish yesterday, giving real world design advice based on their experience of delivering SharePoint projects.

While we wait for the presentation to be prepared for upload to the main TechNet site, Paul and Pete have provided links to a set of resources, all directly related to the content they covered.
