Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

Microsoft books exist in a world where Microsoft software is the best and only option. Rizzo's book on creating collaborative apps using Exchange Server 5.5 (and 2000), Outlook 2000 and IE as application platforms with VBScript for glue shows how simple it can be to meet common business needs via dialogue boxes and standard forms without traditional programming.

Rizzo breaks collaborative apps into five categories: messaging, tracking, workflow, real-time and knowledge management; though an app may have elements from each. Naturally, there are gotchas even in MS programming paradise. For example, Rizzo explains how Outlook 2000 implements a cut down IE for HTML display, but to fully implement security in frames you have to force it to use IE itself--which then means you can't access some of Outlook's enhancements.

ASP features large, for example, to convert Outlook forms to HTML. This throws up more gotchas as Outlook's forms have more features than are available in HTML. There's a discussion of the new Digital Dashboards in Chapter 11 which use ActiveX objects, details on new and improved features of Exchange 5.5, such as the Event Scripting Agent and naturally the obligatory chapter on XML and XSL. But this is a book about using the results of such technologies rather than programming with them.

Rizzo had access to the Outlook and Exchange developers so the book feels authoritative, with example apps and code, all of it on the accompanying CD. But Microsoft's hand lies humourless and heavy. In places the book reads more like a press release. Still, anyone building collaborative apps using Outlook and Exchange will benefit from this book, just don't count the evangelising. -- Steve Patient --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

1.0 out of 5 stars too much 'can' not enough 'how', 19 Jun 2000
None of the examples goes in-depth enough, and the level of the book is very strangely targeted. I bought it expecting to perhaps be out of my depth since it is intended for enterprise level developers, but in fact I can't see it suiting any level of developer.

The examples are not very high level, hence unsuitable for developers, whilst the examples that are given, frustratingly, lack any kind of step by step help for beginners. Want to set up an Outlook form which has an option box for polling your customers? Rizzo says you can do it, but not how you can do it, and this kind of stuff is repeated throughout the book. As such this book is really only useful for evaluating Outlook rather than using it - it is very useful to have by your side when presenting Outlook/Exchange to your company as a possible new mail client/server solution, but for anything more 'advanced', even basic form design, you are going to need something with more meat to it, like Mosher's book on Outlook programming.

To be honest, this book is really just PR for Outlook and Exchange, and could have been written by anyone who has surfed the Outlook and Exchange sites for a few weeks and looked at the Outlook and Exchange programs for a few hours.

Back to O'Reilly books, I think :)

1.0 out of 5 stars The programming examples were inadequately explained., 30 Mar 2000
By A Customer
If you read the blurb about this book it says that it will enable you to "Build collaborative solutions that bridge-and extend-enterprise resources". However the programming examples hop around without following a step-by-step approach. If you would like to increase your Outlook knowledge at the same time as totally confusing yourself - I would recommend this book.

3.0 out of 5 stars OK but needs more technical information, 26 April 1999
By A Customer
Programming Microsoft Outlook and Microsoft Exchange is not really a programming book in the traditional sense, even though it introduces you to most of the high-level concepts necessary for using ADSI and ASP to interact with Microsoft Exchange. The last two chapters which explain how to get Exchange to work with ADSI--the real reason I bought the book--provide code samples that are only partially functional at best with only spotty, fairly useless commentary by the author. This leads me to believe that the author may not have understood the examples thoroughly. Getting Exchange to work correcly with ADSI can be a hair-pulling experience. This book would have been worth the money if it had sunk to a slightly lower level and provided more technical information.
