This book is good for people with prior programming or that are highly efficient at the Microsoft Office Suite. I haven't been able to locate a manual on Infopath for dumbies, or for someone who doesn't know programming. The product is good, but it's not for beginners for sure.

This book is exactly what I needed - we're interested in using InfoPath as part of an electronic document routing system NOT using SharePoint. A lot of resources out there combine IP with SharePoint, so this book is really good for people looking at alternative ways to use/deploy InfoPath. I took a 2-day intro class to IP and this book is taking me the rest of the way - it covers all the advanced features and topics, and includes lots of insider tips and tricks that an inexperienced user like me would spend ages finding out on my own. Incredibly comprehensive, easy to read and concise.

The book is very informative. The only problem I see is there should be a CD with the book. The CD should have tutorials and an e-book. Thank you.

we have several InfoPath developers books at my office and this is the only one people use. I don't think it's perfect, but it is by far the best you're going to find out there, so I'll give it five stars until something better comes along.

21 chapters 1158 pages, explains the blueprint planning process required for building forms. (This design process is outstanding and teaches at a very user friendly, yet indepth level. The first 12 Chapters teaches just how InfoPath recieves, maintains, process XML Code from nodes /leaf nodes to XML files. Explains the Layout, adding controls, Data Source and Data source binding, Creating multi Views for printing and viewing information and lastly methods of deployment including security.
InfoPath can now be tweaked for almost any "form" requirements you can think up and without the use of any code writing.
But for you XML code wizards, Chapter 15,16 goes indepth on Event Bubbling, adding Password code, and many other XML code writing subjects including the use of Visual Studio. I myself found it to be useful knowledge, even if I never alter a line of code, though mostlikely I will.
I would have to say this book covers every aspect of Form Design including E-Mail deployment, web deployment and lastly local server deployment.
If you plan to build a InfoPath form, this book is a must have reference.
Get out your highlighter though! (Better yet, make it two or three).
Good work by both, Scott and Hagen, including the entire InfoPath team.
