Programming MS Exchange Server

Rating:
Summary: Good place to start for Exchange Server programmers
Review: This is very good 'how to' book and tutorial. The plentiful examples are well documented and illustrate real world tasks that fledgling Exchange Programmers may want and/or need to tackle.

There is a very detailed chapter on Forms programming giving examples of MAPI and HTML Forms and details of how to set up the system so that they can be used.

There are plenty of other topics discussed, these include:

* Using CDO to send and receive messages from C++

* Exchange Server folder scripting

* Exchange Server security

* Exchange Server administration extensions

* Exchange Server gateways

Although this book is not directly about MAPI I found it most useful in clarifying my thoughts about what I was trying to do with MAPI and how I was trying to achieve it. The examples were more than adequate to point me in the right direction, or in some cases provided exactly the code that I needed once I had added a bit of bullet proofing.

All in all I would have no hesitation in recommending this book to any programmer starting out on the Exchange Server trail.
