A good introductory article, but I think people need to be careful when looking into using Indexed Views.

I recently added a view to a 3rd party application and thought it would be sensible to make it an Indexed View for performance reasons, so I created the view with the SCHEMABINDING option. However, the 3rd party application that updated the underlying base table stopped working and we had to remove SCHEMABINDING and the index from the view. I was told that SCHEMABINDING had made the base table read only, but I don't think this is the correct explanation. BOL didn't seem to suggest this could happen either.
