Sharepoint Development

Whenever we refer "Sharepoint Development", we are not actually building a site but instead we are creating a "type" of site which are referred as "Site Definitions". We may create a new Team Site or a Document workspace or a Meeting workspace or a Blog or a Wiki site, but actually we are creating a type of site or definition of a site based on site templates. Site definitions are made up of features like document library, picture library or form library.
Sharepoint sites are not individual web applications,they have no pages of their own. They are nothing but data and only data. Everything is maintained in database (sql server) somewhere, but nothing on file system. If you look at the Sharepoint filesystem only handful of things will be present on file system, but everything else resides in database.
