Book Reviews of Pro InfoPath 2007 (Expert's Voice)
Book Review: A rare specimen of readable technical writing
Summary: 5 Stars
I had spent a week "getting up to speed" on InfoPath using the usual sources of information: MSDN and hit or miss Google searches and had ended embarrassingly uninformed about the product.
I have been developing software for 15 years and have never run across a development environment as poorly document as public domain body of work for InfoPath. The documentation that I had uncovered was for the most part blatant Microsoft marketing hype. There is a lot of information about the amazing capabilities of InfoPath but very little about actually utilizing them. The Ministry of Public Education in Redmond had done its job well.
I was approaching desperation when I ordered Janus's book. I sprung for the next day delivery and as promised, it was on my doorstep the following day. As it happened that had been a very long and frustrating day of wresting the subject of the book. In spite of my mental fatigue I eagerly opened the cardboard packaging. My expectations were low. Competent technical writing seems to have become a lost art. I was hoping for a few good tips to mitigate my frustration but what the book delivered was actually marvelously lucid writing and answers to the FAQ's that had been swimming around my in my head for the last week.
I read the book at one sitting and saw the brick wall that I had been butting up against clearly and methodically dismantled. In particular, complexity of InfoPath's security model was spelled out clearly and concisely.
I have long devoted precious shelf space to the books that shipped with Borland Object Oriented Pascal. I haven't used that language in many years but I considered the documents to be the last existing example of a good documentation package. I simply can't bear to get rid of it. I will now have to make space next to it for the Janus book.
Summary of Pro InfoPath 2007 (Expert's Voice)
Pro InfoPath 2007 is an excellent book for developers trying to learn the scope and range of application forms that can be built with Microsoft Office InfoPath 2007. InfoPath is now in its second generation and it enables the creation of rich desktop and web forms using XML technologies and allows gathering of structured, business-critical information. Together with Microsoft Windows SharePoint Server 2007, InfoPath allows built-in integration with back-end processes, databases, and work flow, and provides developers with rich tools to build enterprise-wide forms solutions.
During the development and stabilization phase of InfoPath 2007, Philo worked closely with the product team to test features, provide feedback on scenarios, and to build and apply solutions for the government and public sector. He has poured all that experience in an engaging manner into this booka great read for every developer trying to learn InfoPath.
