Summary: Great place to get started
Comment: "Programming Microsoft InfoPath" is a great place to start.
The book covers how to get started and how InfoPath fits into the software developer's toolbox, from Form design thru security, and integration with SharePoint/BizTalk.
With this book and a little practice, I was able to start creating practical "Smart Client" applications on the first day.

Summary: Excellent reference for Infopath developers
Comment: The first thing you need to know before purchasing this book is the software requirements in order to work with the sample programs. For software you will need either Windows Server 2003 or Windows XP Professional and InfoPath 2003. To work with many web-enabled samples you will also need an Internet Information Server. To compile and run many of the samples you will also need Visual Studio.NET 2003 or the .NET Framework 1.1. It also require Microsoft Office 2003 and all associated products. The book also assumes a basic knowledge of program development in a distributed environment (although the assumptions here are pretty minimal). You will note that all the software required is totally Microsoft. If you are not willing to put on your Microsoft blinders and believe that nothing exists in the computer world other than Microsoft then you will not be particularly interested in Infopath nor this book. On the other hand, if you are a totally Microsoft office, read on.
Infopath is Microsoft's collaborative environment for office automation and workflow control. Using XML based forms a user can input information once and have it shared into Word, Excel, SQL, or other applications simultaneously. Needless to say this can increase efficiency tremendously for situations where data has to be rewritten or cut-and-paste into different programs to keep it all up to date. For those already working with Infopath, or planning to make that move, the book is an excellent guide to developing data sharing programs that take input with validation, store, extract, and update that information through easy to use forms, provide a secure solution, and integrate with Biztalk Server.
The approach of the author is to provide basic information and instruction interspersed with actual coding examples so you can actually test your knowledge and see the results. This is one of the best teaching methods and he does an excellent job. A quick view of the table of contents shows the highly organized layout of the book. It starts with an examination of the Infopath integrated development environment (IDE), then follows with generating XML Forms, web service forms, and database forms, next is building workflow-enabled applications, integrating with BizTalk server, building smart client applications, securing solutions, and finally deploying your application.
For those developing applications in the InfoPath environment this is a top-notch guide that provides everything you need to know to start creating a collaborative working environment. If your company has made the commitment to InfoPath "Programming Microsoft Infopath: A Developer's Guide" is a book you will want to have.
