This book is NOT suitable for absolute beginners! InfoPath 2010 Cookbook 5 is for semi-technical to technical professionals who have already mastered the basics of designing form templates in InfoPath and who already know how to work with Excel 2010 and SharePoint 2010. InfoPath 2010 Cookbook 5 extends skills acquired from all previous books in the InfoPath 2010 Cookbook series of books and is an InfoPath-centric book that teaches intermediate to advanced InfoPath users how to combine InfoPath 2010 with Excel 2010 and Excel Services in SharePoint 2010.
