How the Book Is Organized


Part I of the book offers useful background information about collaborative systems and Exchange Server as a platform for collaboration.

Part II is for the Office developer, specifically the Outlook developer. I start with the basics in Outlook, such as creating forms, fields, and views. Then we quickly progress to building advanced forms and COM add-ins, in both native and .NET-compatible code, for Outlook. Part II also covers the security changes in Outlook that affect (and sometime irritate) Outlook developers. I also include advanced information on smart tags and smart documents in Office 2003. As an Outlook developer, you will probably want to understand how to use all these technologies in your applications.

Part III covers the server side, specifically Exchange Server and Live Communications Server, which provide instant messaging and collaboration capabilities. I cover all the APIs that are available for programming with Exchange, including Collaboration Data Objects (CDO) 1.21, CDO for Exchange, CDO for Exchange Management, and Web Distributed Authoring and Versioning (WebDAV). We also look at advanced features such as Active Directory Services Interfaces (ADSI), server events, workflow, Web services, and programming Exchange in .NET.

The additional chapters on the Web site cover in greater detail some areas that are covered briefly in the book, such as the Rules and ACL components (which were covered in the second edition and have been updated for .NET) as well as how to build collaborative applications on SharePoint. These chapters show you how to program SharePoint Portal Server (SPS) 2001, Windows SharePoint Services, and SPS 2.0.
