Customer Reviews Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Good book for InfoPath
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.
Rating:  - best book so far
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.
Rating: - From the Ground Up
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.

Rating: - Great content and narrattive
As many of the previous reviews before mine can attest, this is a great book and one of many other definitive Infopath reference-literature for someone needing to work with Infopath on an ongoing professional environment.

Rating: - Everything you need to know, but you have to hunt for it!
I've never written a review before, but I feel compelled. I'm in chapter 3. Don't be in a hurry; you might miss something very important buried in a page of text with little visual cues to lead you to it. Maybe the editors think if it looks more imposing and scholarly they can charge more for the book.
