Programming Microsoft Outlook 2000 (The Sams Professional Series)

Rating:
Summary: Leaves much to desire
Review: The book provides a good chart of all of the Outlook 2000 objects but gives few good programming examples. Nowhere does it show how to login as an outlook user and then create and send an email. Spends too much time on the Outlook database vs. task list as if it were the only part of Outlook a developer would be interested. Not worth the money.

Summary: Easy To Read Yet Informative
Review: This book is very well-written. Its too easy to read to be considered, IMHO, a reference tome; you *could* use it as such, though. Programming elitists may be offended that it starts out by presuming (the effrontery!) to provide the reader with an overview of Outlook and how it works. I found this book, on the whole, to be an effortless read, but enlightening - an example of the way more books in this field *should* be written. I'm buying more copies to make it readily available for our MIS dept staff.
