trying to learn the scope and range of application forms that
can be built with Microsoft Office InfoPath 2007. InfoPath is
now in its 2nd generation and it enables the creation of rich
desktop and web forms using XML technologies and allows
gathering of structured, business-critical information. Together
with Microsoft Windows SharePoint Server 2007, InfoPath allows
built-in integration with back-end processes, databases, and
work flow, and provides developers with rich tools to build
enterprise-wide forms solutions.
During the development and stabilization phase of InfoPath
2007, Philo worked closely with the product team to testfeatures,
provide feedback on scenarios, and to build and apply solutions
for the government and public sector. He haspoured all that
experience in an engaging manner into this booka great read for
every developer trying to learnInfoPath.

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. Microsofts 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.

• Use InfoPath to fill in electronic forms
• Design and publish forms
• Connect to data sources to read and publish data
• Design and leverage the power of InfoPath views
• Work with SharePoint form libraries to get the most out of
  InfoPath form data

• Create custom task panes for InfoPath forms
• Understand SharePoint information management policies
• Write .Net code behind InfoPath forms and browser forms
• Create an add-in to extend the capabilities of InfoPath

Philo Janus

Philo Janus is a senior technology specialist with Microsoft. Over the
years he has presented InfoPath to thousands of users and developers, and
assisted with enterprise implementations of InfoPath solutions. With that
background, he is particularly sensitive to the difficulties users and
developers have had with InfoPath.

He graduated from the US Naval Academy with a BSEE in 1989 to face a
challenging career in the US Navy. After driving an aircraft carrier around
the Pacific Ocean and a guided missile frigate through both the Suez and
Panama Canals, and serving in the US Embassy in Cairo, a small altercation
between his bicycle and an auto indicated a change of career (some would say
that landing on his head in that accident would explain many things).
Philo's software development career started with building a training and
budgeting application in Access 2.0 in 1995. Since then he's worked with
Oracle, Visual Basic, SQL Server, and .NET building applications for federal
agencies, commercial firms, and conglomerates. In 2003 he joined Microsoft
as a technology specialist evangelizing Office as a development platform
