I'm looking at making use of the social features in 2013 but would like to tailor the UX / behaviour in some cases.
I noticed that Microsoft advise against customization - http://www.cmswire.com/cms/information-management/microsoft-doesnt-advise-you-customize-sharepoint-2013-016608.php.
With this in mind, does anyone have a view of best practices in this area? Where would a newbie start (quite happy to get my hands dirty with code)?
