Book Description
Pro InfoPath 2007 is an excellent book for developers 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 book--a great read for every developer trying to learnInfoPath.
— Kamaljit Bath, Principal Program Manager Lead, Microsoft Office InfoPath and Forms Services
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. Microsoft's 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.
This book will show form designers how to:
- 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
- Import existing Word and Excel forms into InfoPath
- Create workflows with SharePoint Designer
- Work with digital signatures
In addition, developers will learn how to:
- Create an InfoPath form template based on a data connection or web service
- Publish InfoPath form templates as content types
- 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
- Create a custom workflow for SharePoint, embedding InfoPath forms for gathering information
- Build a .Net web service that InfoPath can connect to
- Use Altova's XMLSpy to work with InfoPath form templates

"Pro InfoPath 2007" useful for technical and business people alike.......2007-09-09
There are all too many technical books that are heavy on theory and light on "how to", or start out in an introductory fashion and then suddenly venture into highly technical territory without including the necessary background information needed to understand the content.
In "Pro InfoPath 2007", Philo Janus neatly avoids these pitfalls. Since he's writing about a product with whom most readers may not be familiar, he first answers the vital question, "What IS InfoPath?" with a comprehensive introduction to the product. Then Janus carefully outlines the capabilities of InfoPath and walks the reader through the steps necessary to create InfoPath forms in all kinds of environments; how to meet business needs in a myriad of situations; and most importantly, includes possible issues and limitations that one might encounter when using InfoPath and provides the necessary workarounds.
My own company has InfoPath installed but despite an enterprise-wide need for exactly what InfoPath does, is resistant to its use because of a fundamental lack of understanding of the software and how to best deploy it. A read of this book would convince them that they have a good product sitting on the shelf that would meet their needs and interface neatly with Sharepoint and other applications already in use.
Thumbs up to Philo Janus for a job well done.
Again a lot of sales hype.......2007-09-07
Microsoft writes a lot of sales hype about how terrific a product is but rarely explains what a product can and cant do. After days of asking I have yet to find out what Infopath exactly does and what it is capable of. We have documents in our office. It would be a blessing if people could go to our website fill out a form and then email the data to us so that we could then merge that data into a word document. Simply recieve an email in outlook after a client has input data on our website and then merge the data into word.
It looks as if Infopath might do that function but most people have never even heard of the product although it has existed since 2003.
After days on the internet I have yet to discover if this product can do that or exactly what product could do that. Infopath is not a popular product because of just that reason it is a mystery full of mis-information. Why is it we have to buy a book or buy a product to determine whether or not we need it??? I wish that the author (and Micro soft) would explain exactly what Infopath does and what we would be taught. I wont buy the product or read the book if you cant determine what I am about to learn, what it offers or why I need it.
A Jump Start to Building InfoPath Solutions!.......2007-08-06
This tiny book, in comparison with other technical manuals, is a fantastic way to get up to speed with InfoPath in a very short time. I'd never had the opportunity to work with InfoPath before, until my company decided to implement MOSS 2007 with InfoPath Forms services. I bought this book and in a few short days we were churning out InfoPath business solutions.
This book is an easy weekend read and then you are ready to go!
Really good book. A+++++++++++.......2007-07-30
This book is just great. Good coverage in around 300 pages. I totally dislike huge development books that just harp around. This book covers all the necessary topics with examples... A++++++++++++++++ for Philo Janus
This is a great book........2007-04-27
If you are doign anything with InfoPath 2007 then get this book!!! This book is an easy and informative read. The author even tries to make it his goal that this can be a weekend read. Not like your typical mind numbing rehash of the tech manuals. Philo not only describes what InfoPath 2007 is but gives real example that you can take into work.

Yawner.......2007-05-12
I was moving cross-country and this was one of several audiobooks I purchased for the trip. I'm not a newbie to this material so perhaps that is why I almost drove myself into a ditch with boredom. Probably best for someone who doesnt read the WSJ or watch CNBC on a regular basis.
An Occasional Five or Ten Minutes Could be Most Beneficial.......2007-03-13
"Best Investment Advice I Ever Received" is a quick and easy read. It includes a lot of great advice offered by those who really know what they are talking about. Truly, these individuals have earned our respect. This is not a so-called great book. However, Liz Claman has put together a work that can be profitably read for five to ten minutes at a time. It easily deserves 4 3/4 stars out of 5.
Maybe not the "best" but "very good".......2007-02-04
The book contains short essays from the best known financial experts of our day and it is always exciting to hear their personal comments. Having read through everyones advice, the twisted yet comfortable thought from Mike Jackson says it all; "..how exciting it is to be boring..."
What I mean by that is the culmination of expert thought in this book: save early and save often and diversify your investing for the long run. Stay away from fads and short term schemes. To paraphrase Weissenstein, the more people try to hit a home run, the more likely it is that they'll strike out.
Only a couple of the short essays were predictably boring - like Robert Kiyosaki and Alan Miller. However, just picking up a quote here and there from the other contributors was well worth the price of the book. I know I will be using a number of these quotes in the future.
Oh yeah, my favorite quote? that goes to Alan Skrainka: "Investment decisions should be based on investment principles, not investment predictions." Continuously educate yourself so you are prepared for smart decisions and don't try to guess on highs and lows. Watching your money grow over a long period of time may sound very boring, but it is exciting to know you have invested your hard earned money based on the best investment advice you'll ever receive.
The Best Investment Advice I Ever Received: Priceless Wisdom from Warren Buffett, Jim Cramer, Suze Orman, Steve Forbes, and Do.......2007-01-27
A great book!
There are better books out there........2007-01-24
This is a compilation of thoughts from various business and finance gurus, each ranging from a few lines to a few pages in length. Some of them are inciteful and well worth heeding. Others were so shallow that I wonder why they chose to include them at all. You are better off reading Jim Cramer's several books or the classics by Bogle, Lynch, and Graham, if you want to improve your investment skills. If you are looking for basic household money management help, look at Dave Ramsey's publications.

Customer Reviews:
Wonderful book for those new to personal finance.......2007-02-16
This is a wonderful book for those new to personal finance and investing, or just looking to get a handle on their own financial situation. The author encourages frugality, but there is much more to his philosophy. My only ding is that this book is desperately in need of an updated edition. A lot has happened in terms of online technology and finance in the 5 or so years since this book was published (hence my 4 star rating). In the meantime, the author has a wonderful web site with helpful advice.
Very informative book.......2007-01-04
This is the first book that I have read by the intelligently frugal guru, so I can make no comparisons. For a novice like me, I found the book easy to read and understand. I recommend his practices for people who do and do not understand how to get the most value for their money.
Does he ever sleep? .......2006-10-05
Okay, the guy is smart when it comes to getting a discount and making intelligent purchases. He even saved me from making a costly mistake, making this book totally worth buying (rent a car BEFORE you commit to buying it!). But this guy is not the Mr. Joe Average Consumer he tries to portray himself as. He gives readers a whole lot of personal examples of how he saved money and if you add those stories up this guy must never sleep. He probably does more smart spending in one week that the rest of can do in an entire year. I couldn't help but feel bad for his family who he drags along on some of his economic adventures (dialogue I imagine coming from the backseat of the family car: "Daddy, can we PLEASE stop buying stuff and GO HOME." ~ "No honey, Daddy has another financial advice book to write.") Anyway, Clark is full of clever cash-saving ideas. As another reviewer put it, this is not a how to get rich book. It's about cutting costs -- and spending money is not the same as saving money.
Not for the truly broke.......2006-06-26
Yes, if I bought a $3 latte every day, and I cut that out, I could save more than $900 a year.
Guess what? I can't afford a $3 latte every day and the best way I have found that Clark could help me save money was if we had never bought his book.
Excellent retailer.......2005-07-02
The book arrived as describe and on time. I could ask for nothing more.

Customer Reviews:
A nice book on estate planning that made me feel like I was reading an online blog........2007-09-26
This book was better than most I've read on estate planning. Its objective was to familiarize the reader with the estate planning process. I'm not sure it really covered "the process." But I think it educates the reader well enough to be an educated consumer when consulting an estate planning attorney for help in estate tax planning matters.
As I read I got the feeling the authors were anti-probate and pro- living trusts. And there were certain things included in the book that made it sound like a promotional piece for the authors' own law practices and organizations. I would have liked it better if the book had not come across as a promotional piece.
The authors say to treat this book as a survey of what estate planning can be. When reading this book (7 years after it was written) I got the feeling the content could have been a bunch of blog entries the authors have posted online that they conveniently strung together to make a book. There are 42 chapters and 4 "entries" in the appendix. And the book is only 330 pages long.
I was looking for a Glossary of Terms, but failed to find one. The book would have been better with one. And I would have liked the book better if Appendix D about the history of estate planning had been moved to the front.
Chapter 1: What is estate planning? I felt this chapter was lousy. It was wordy and vague and not really accurate. Estate planning is really "estate tax planning." It is not financial planning or "wealth strategies planning" as the authors suggest. Nor is estate planning to be confused with "disability planning." As a result, I'm not sure why Chapter 4 was included.
Chapter 8: Probate. I enjoyed reading about estate administration in this chapter. But I think the authors did the reader a disservice by equating the probate process to estate administration. Other problems I had with this chapter include the statement made that executors work for the probate court or probate judge. This simply is not true! Executors work for the estate (a separate legal entity). And the statement that probate is complicated is not accurate as stated. In some cases it can be. But in most it is NOT.
Chapter 9: The federal estate tax. Here the authors repeatedly referred to the estate tax as a death tax. The estate tax has nothing to do with death. It only has to do with wealth transfers. If a poor person dies, then no estate tax is due. If the estate tax were really a death tax, then a tax would be due when a poor person dies.
Chapter 10: The unified system. I had a problem with the material the authors chose to talk about here. Why was it necessary to discuss the way things used to be? As far as I am concerned the book would have been much better if the authors had stuck to the present and explained how things are now. The presentation of the material would have been much more straighforward and easy to understand. 4 stars!
Protect Your Estate - by Esperti, et al.......2001-08-09
I bought the previous edition of this book several years ago and learned so much from its straight forward, well-organized and clear presentation (I am neither an accountant nor a tax person) that co-workers and family members began quizzing me on matters of estate planning. This book allowed me to answer many questions and also enabled me to have a very intelligent conversation with a professional estate planner. I consider the book such a valuable resource that I just purchased the updated edition.
Good Stuff!.......2001-07-16
I am an estate planning attorney, not affiliated with any of the author's companies, and I think this book is a "must read" for anyone who is serious about planning his/her estate.
By the way, estate planning is for everone, not merely the "wealthy." The cost (in time and fees) to have a customed designed and implemented estate plan will probably be the best investment you will ever make to protect and preserve your wealth for your loved ones.
Detailed overview in layman's terms.......2001-02-02
Outstanding book to educate yourself on estate planning. This book will prepare you for the planning process so you can understand what your estate planning attorney is talking about and what he or she is trying to accomplish for you. It also very clearly outlines the fallacies inherent in trying to conduct estate planning without competent legal counsel. The authors tell you know how to find competent advice and how to arrange conduct free consultation interviews with any prospective estate planning specialists. If you are even thinking about estate planning, GET THIS BOOK!

Book Description
The nature of technical expertise has become increasingly important and problematic in the post-modern era, as structured hierarchies and production methods are revised. Financial services, one of our most important economic sectors, has also been confronting very high degrees of uncertainty that reflect great institutional and market changes. In this fluid and competitive environment technological change - in particular the widening scope of information technology (IT) - has become vitally important. This study is about the strategic uses of IT in retail financial services. It is based on the Scottish part of the industry, a highly cohesive sector in its own right, but one with universal linkages to UK and global finance. A set of seven case studies forms the empirical base, while the study also focuses on key strategic projects within these case companies. The purpose is to arrive at an understanding of how firms develop a strategic approach to IT. This hinges on the management of expertise - the ability to integrate detailed technological expertise with wider organizational and marketing goals. The study examines a number of themes around this key issue: the process of formation of IT strategy, sectorial influences on the implementation of computer-based systems, and the occupational and career factors that shape IT expertise.
Book Description
(Book Jacket Status: Jacketed)
In the novels of R. K. Narayan (1906-2001), the forefather of modern Indian fiction, human-scale hopes and epiphanies express the promise of a nation as it awakens to its place in the world. The three novels brought together in this volume, all written after India’s independence, are masterpieces of social comedy, rich in local color and abounding in affectionate humor and generosity of spirit.
Mr. Sampath–The Printer of Malgudi is the story of a businessman who adapts to the collapse of his weekly newspaper by shifting to screenplays, only to have the glamour of it all go to his head. In The Financial Expert, a man of many hopes but few resources spends his time under a banyan tree dispensing financial advice to those willing to pay for his knowledge. In Waiting for the Mahatma, a young drifter meets the most beautiful girl he has ever seen–an adherent of Mahatma Gandhi–and commits himself to Gandhi’s Quit India campaign, a decision that will test the integrity of his ideals against the strength of his passions.
As charming as they are compassionate, these novels provide an indelible portrait of India in the twentieth century.
Book Description

Provides data modeling methodology used to develop trading systems.
* Shows how to design, test, and measure the significance of results
John R. Wolberg (Haifa, Israel) is professor of mechanical engineering at the Haifa Institute in Israel. He does research and consulting in data modeling in the financial services area.
Customer Reviews:
Minority audience only.......2005-08-03
Oh dear. It seems I'm more or less a lone voice of dissent amongst all this praise heaped upon Dr. Wolberg's book. I've been in possession of this book for some time. For the most part, it has been gathering dust on a lonely bookshelf. Every so often though, I bring it down to remind myself of why I left it there.
I think the book basically fails. For one thing, who is the target audience? "Cutting-Edge Data Modeling for Non-Statisticians" is the claim on the back cover. Well, I'm happy to say that while I'm a non-statistician, I do have a degree in math, and I didn't find the math presented in this book all that daunting. Having said that, many people will certainly find this book a total non-starter. Unless you have a strong math background, take my advice and don't bother - you just won't know what this guy is talking about.
Sadly, having finally reached the end of this book, I just sat there thinking where do I go from here. I didn't find an answer. Granted, the book has a few interesting things to say about testing, but this hardly warrants the asking price.
If you are an investor with a day job, I believe it would take you a number of years to develop a trading system using the ideas expounded in this book and it probably wouldn't even work as you would quite likely succumb to any one of the many pitfalls the book discusses.
Frankly, I defy anyone to tell me they've made so much as a penny from any of the ideas presented in Dr. Wolberg's book, save perhaps Dr. Wolberg himself. You would be much better advised to spend your time refining your trading systems using the underrated technique of learning by experience.
Sorry, I think this book is nothing more than a glorified plug for Dr. Wolberg's services.
Correction.......2001-01-28
One reviewer states that the author hides the fact that he is associated with the company that commercially exploits the software discussed in the book. However, in the Acknowledgements section of the book, the author acknowledges the two software engineers from Insightware who helped him develop the software. In other words, there is no attempt on the part of the author to hide his ongoing interest in the commercial application of the FKR technology.
A sales pitch for the authors product!.......2000-05-23
The book is actually quite good and Kernel Regression might very well be a good modelling technique. What destroys much of the credibility is that the author is actually the founder of a company that produces KR software. This fact isn't mentioned ANYWHERE in the book. The author just HAPPENS to use a specific software in all his examples. Guess what software? You have to go to the company website to find the connection.
If we set that aside, the book is well written and interesting. Not for the math impaired, though. University level math and statistics needed to be enjoyed in full.
Make the computer your partner and beat the market.......2000-04-10
This is a very significant book because it tells you how to use the computer to be smarter than most other traders. The human mind has great difficulty interpreting many variables at the same time. In fact studies show the mind is able to deal with at most 3 at a time and if the variables are complexly related 2 is the maximum. Experts in many fields make poor decisions because of this human information processing limitation. But financial markets are complex and demand the consideration of many variables. The way around this dilemma is to use the compter as a device to interpret complex information patterns. This has been done for years in oil exploration and medical research. Wolberg shows how software can do this for financial information. It finds information that most other traders are probably ignoring and thus this information contains profit opportunities. He talks about filtering - how his method can improve existing trading methods by finding patterns common to signals that lose money. When those patterns are added to the original strategy there can be a big improvement. Wolberg talks about using his program to predict stock performance and avoid market risk. I think this has a lot of potential. Very good book indeed!
This book really changed my thinking.......2000-04-05
This is a very good book. You need some background in the market to appreciate what Wolberg is saying. But the message is an important one. Most computer users are just asking the computer to signal when their own defined criteria have been met. But in this book the author takes a different approach. He is letting the computer figure out what are the criteria for a good signal. With so many other traders out there using pretty much the same kinds of patterns, I think they are losing their effectiveness. But the right software can enable a computer to find patterns that most other traders can see. So those patterns ought to work better. There is a lot of competition out there and maybe this kind of approach can you the trader an edge over those still working with just eyes and brain.

If you have mostly negative experiences around money, this book's for you!.......2006-02-13
I got this book last summer for my birthday. I'm not very good with money, my mom's not very good with money and I learned at her knee. However, I've been trying to change that and this book has been very helpful in steering me in the right direction.
I'm new to just about all good money habits but this book is a great starter to help people with little to no experience with more than a checking account (which I know is a lot of people) and help them know where to turn and some questions to pursue.
I wish I'd had this advice/information when I was 21. (Assuming I would've listened then).
Very very basic information.......2005-04-03
If you have had to take out a mortgage to buy a house, have ever purchased life insurance or have a retirement account, this book will seem extremely basic. There aren't really any tools, worksheets or practical plans here. The book is simply a series of "Tips" -- very brief articles from different financial planners. It's a readable format, but there's not much meat.
For example, the section on "Software for Staying Organized" includes mention of only 3 software products, two of which are Microsoft Money and Intuit Quicken. The author starts her comments saying "The basic/standard versions are entry-level products designed for people new to personal finance software" (My experience with the basic versions of those programs is that they include quite powerful analysis and budgeting tools).
If you're just starting out or really need a primer, this is a readable book and comes well recommended. But if you are reasonably literate in working with lenders and insurance companies, you'll find this too simple.
Easy to read general financial advice.......2004-06-22
Great general purpose financial advice book, well organized and structured so as to allow the reader to learn as much or as little as desired.
Great Reference for the Do-It-Yourselfer!.......2004-05-26
This book is a great place for the do-it-yourself investor to look when validating what you are planning to do in your financial world. Worth its weight in gold.
Good consumer tips.......2004-05-26
Wow! Great practical information for the average person who just wants to know how to figure out this financial stuff. I've read a lot of financial books, but this one really is readable and accessible.
Book Description
Litigation Services Handbook, Fourth Edition is referred to as the litigation bible. Its nearly 50 chapters read like a who's who in law and accounting. The handbook includes all aspects of litigation services, including current environments, the process itself, a wealth of cases, how to prove damages, and practical considerations of court appearances. The new edition has a heavy focus on fraud investigations and complying with Sarbanes-Oxley requirements.

Decent Text for the Practitioner.......2007-04-09
This updated text contains many of the standard processes that are applied by financial experts. Moreover, it also contains updates on more recent case law and their applications to various topics. This book contains a wide variety of topics - which could be a good thing or a bad thing. On the bright side, you get a feel for a bunch of things. However, it doesn't cover some topics adequately because, maybe, of the fear of coming up with a 3000 page book.
There are certain things that I found helpful. I found the appendix to the regression chapter extremely useful, where the authors list out the types of regression issues and how courts have ruled on them. The section on securities litigation is also well-written, but I feel it could be expanded on more.
