[David Fournier · Rating 2 out of 5]

The first 2/3 of this book should be re-titled to InfoPath for Dummies, Part 2. The author over simplifies his step by step instructions, but doesn't provide any real world context. Which would make it difficult for anyone just starting out to be able to get very far without going to other resources.

The last 1/3 of the book seems to be geared for someone who is just short of a SharePoint site administrator.

This book was poorly thought out as an instruction manual.
