Programming Microsoft InfoPath
暫譯: 編程 Microsoft InfoPath

Infopath 2003 is a new addition to Microsoft® Office that enables teams and organizations to easily create and work with rich, dynamic forms. The ability of InfoPath to generate and consume XML makes it an easy platform to integrate and extend, and allows developers to create a rich set of interfaces that connect and integrate with a wide variety of business processes and workflow.

Programming Microsoft® InfoPath: A Developer’s Guide takes a practical and code-oriented approach to provide the essential skill set and examples that are needed to develop and implement applications with InfoPath. Starting with an introduction to the InfoPath IDE, and an explanation of how XML is used within the InfoPath environment, the developer is led through the development of XML schemas, and taught how they can be leveraged within an InfoPath solution. Developers will then go on to learn how to generate Web Service and SQL forms, as well as how to integrate solutions seamlessly into the human workflow. Finally, the book shows users how to create mobile, secure solutions, as well as offer deployment strategies. This is an essential reference for any developer interested in utilizing InfoPath.
