Professional InfoPath 2003 (Repost) Book

EBook Description: Microsoft InfoPath 2003 helps developers tackle forms-based information-gathering with the full range of XML technologies. This book quickly guides experienced Office and XML developers through InfoPath fundamentals, including XML form templates architecture, form definition file structure, available external data sources, and backend services. From there, you delve into validation and updating forms, both during development and as business needs change. Finally, you examine the InfoPath security model, learning to implement and deploy trusted forms. The second part of this book is an intensive case study covering metadata processing, exporting XML data to Excel for analysis, and much more.

Microsoft InfoPath 2003 Kick Start builds upon the reader's knowledge of the Microsoft Office system to enable them to get right to work making productive use of InfoPath. It is targeted specifically at the early adopters - developers who will use their knowledge of XML and Web development to build sophisticated applications with InfoPath front ends. However it is also, carefully structured to enable "front line" InfoPath users to quickly glean the information they need to be productive when developing their own InfoPath forms - and when working with developers to create more involved InfoPath applications.

Pro InfoPath 2007

InfoPath enables users to design forms and publish them for use by other
users. It combines the ease of use of Access forms with the enterprise
scalability of a network-based platform. Microsoft's goal with InfoPath
is to get form design and maintenance out of the IT shop and onto the
desktop, while maintaining the power of connecting to web services or a
SQL Server. Since InfoPath is wholly XML-based, it is easy to introduce
it into a heterogeneous enterprise environment -- via web services
InfoPath can act as the interface for any back end system. InfoPath
2007, coupled with Microsoft Office SharePoint Server, adds the ability
to deploy InfoPath forms in a web browser with no client side
application. SharePoint and Office 2007 have leveraged InfoPath in many
other ways -- making InfoPath forms part of the workflow engine embedded
in SharePoint, and using InfoPath forms to capture and maintain
arbitrary metadata in Office documents. Pro InfoPath 2007 was written so
that developers can read it as an introduction to InfoPath 2007, as well
as use it as a reference for common tasks. Targeted at developers, power
users should also find a lot of value in this book to learn how to
design and use forms in InfoPath.
