Real, step-by-step solutions for creating and managing data forms in SharePoint 2010 with InfoPath: fast, accurate, proven, and easy to use
SharePoint 2010 and InfoPath 2010 integrate more deeply than ever before, allowing SharePoint users and developers to build powerful "mini-apps" with InfoPath forms, and use them to streamline a wide range of workflows and business processes - all without writing code. InfoPath with SharePoint 2010 How-To is a single source for reliable, easy-to-implement SharePoint solutions built with InfoPath data forms. Steven Mann presents concise tutorials to get users and developers up to speed, and walks through more than 50 procedures, providing clear and accurate steps for each one. Mann's tested, step-by-step procedures include: designing form templates and libraries; using SharePoint form features; incorporating rules and functions; designing pages and views; creating workflows; using external web services data; creating tabbed navigation; providing offline form access; defining master/detail views; displaying and managing lists; dynamically populating repeating tables; tracking changes, and dozens more. Readers will also find several proven procedures for streamlining administration and troubleshooting. This book goes far beyond "tips and trick" to serve as the daily reference resource for every information worker and IT professional who wants to solve real business and technical problems with SharePoint 2010 and InfoPath 2010.

Good tutorials, don't read the fine print, Mar 9 2011
By K. Quinn - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: InfoPath with SharePoint 2010 How-To (Paperback)
I would give this a 3, but encourage anyone who isn't an advanced dev or naturally objective to shy away from it.This book has a split personality:
Positive:
The tutorials in this book are fantastic, though some have issues in that they don't actually work, but those become fewer and fewer as the book progresses. This is arguably one of the most useful manuals in regards to how to actually perform tasks in InfoPath and anyone who can restrict themselves to just reading the point by points is going to get a lot out of it, and have a rock solid understanding of InfoPath.
Here's the other side...
Negative:
Pivotal points of this book label it as non-objective. The author has an issue in his writing in that he assumes his opinion and bias equals fact. He doesn't comment much outside of InfoPath, but two things stand out to me when he does:
1. He views InfoPath as a panacea for all SharePoint's ills
2. He hasn't touched office integration in 10 years, if ever, and doesn't have a clue what he's talking about in terms of integrating office documents with SharePoint data
He draw some conclusions that are not just wrong, they could stunt people's abilities as developers moving forward as he presents them as best practice when they're anything but.
Short summary:
The author has written a treasure trove of fantastic tutorials that are good for devs of all levels, but leaves his actual realm of expertise at a few key points to comment on things he by all appearances has little experience with.
Skip everything that could be taken as subjective, or take it with a serious grain of salt and this book is worth the money.

Compact Book on InfoPath and SharePoint 2010, July 14 2011
By Thomas F. Lee "Net Guru" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: InfoPath with SharePoint 2010 How-To (Paperback)
This is a short concise book looking at how you use InfoPath and SharePoint 2010. For those new to both SharePoint and InfoPath, this book provides a wealth of practical tutorials, although some of them appear not to work. The book is careful to introduce key SharePoint concepts which helps new users of SharePoint to get stuck in quickly. There's even a short PowerShell chapter looking at administration of InfoPath and forms using PowerShell.In general,I liked the style of the book, which is terse and to the point. At times, however, I felt (like Kitty Shah) that the text was a mixture of fact and author bias. As a non-SharePoint expert I could not disentangle the two.
But all in all, this seems a great book for IT Pros developing SharePoint solutions to have open on their desk.

This book is compact and easy to read. If you are concentrating on InfoPath as a part or the whole solution then this is a fantastic book to have. Book breaks down into nice easy to read and digest snipets of how InfoPath could be used within an implementation.
