I Love this book!
Posted by Asif Rehmani on 19th May 2011
The direct manner in which the solutions are presented is exactly the way I think all technical books should be written; give the reader what they want without the fluff. This book is packed with so many meaningful examples that I think it belongs on the bookshelves of all serious SharePoint people. In particular, SharePoint developers will get a lot out of this book as it demonstrates what the development possibilities are in SharePoint without writing code!

". . .The book is chock full of step by step instructions on how to get things done, from connecting to external data sources using the BCS to customizing your forms using InfoPath 2010 to creating workflows to manage the process. You’d be doing yourself a favor by adding this book to your SharePoint bookshelf"

This book is highly effective in conveying what the art-of-the-possible is for no-code development in SharePoint 2010
Posted by Keenan Newton on 24th Mar 2011
The popularity of no-code composite applications is increasing as the business user is being empowered to solve business problems without the need of having to create custom code applications or understanding development languages. SharePoint 2010 is an excellent platform for creating no-code composite solutions. With InfoPath Form Services, SharePoint Designer, Business Connectivity Services and SharePoint Web Parts, to name a few, you can combine them together into a composite solution to solve many business problems
Knowing where to start can be daunting, however Ira Fuch’s has written a book called “Enterprise Application Development in SharePoint 2010 - Creating an End-to-End Application without Code” that helps anyone get started in developing no-code composite applications. The book’s approach of taking the reader through the comprehensive steps of building an enterprise class application without code is highly effective in conveying what the art-of-the-possible is for creating enterprise class applications using SharePoint Composite components. If you are looking to getting started in creating no-code composite applications on SharePoint 2010, then this is the book for you.

Great book for learning the power of the SharePoint and InfoPath platform
Posted by Gary Gross on 24th Mar 2011
I'm a pretty experienced Office and SharePoint user. I've been working with the various platforms since 2001. I was very interested in this book because it claimed to show users how to build end-to-end applications without the need for writing code. I have to say it delivers. It's a very through book that literally walks you through step-by-step of how to create an absence tracking application. In the end, the application worked! and I even learned a few things along the way. Definitely worth picking up.

This book contains the best material on how to use InfoPath 2010 with SharePoint 2010 that I have seen
Posted by Kathryn Birstein on 10th Mar 2011
There are a host of new books out on SharePoint development, but few of them provide tutorials in how to create complete solutions in detail and none of them, at least in my experience, give a tutorial of how to create a full-blown solution solely with declarative programming. Using only browser customizations, SharePoint Designer 2010 and InfoPath 2010, this volume leads the reader step-by-step through the creation of an Employee Absence Tracking system that includes complex business rules, approval workflows, and External Content Types (a downloadable SQL Server database is provided).
A 390-page tutorial may seem daunting but the 600 plus screenshots make it a fast read and easy to follow. In addition to giving users a real picture of how truly agile programming in SharePoint can be, this book contains the best material on how to use InfoPath 2010 with SharePoint 2010 that I have seen. And while the workflows and External Content Type are basic (there is only one table in the database, for instance, so the complex issues around one-to-many relationships are not dealt with), the book illuminates a development paradigm that should be followed if companies are to achieve the greatest ROI from their SharePoint deployments--do everything you can possibly can with browser customizations and declarative programming before resorting to code.
