Summary: Too basic to get anything accomplished
Comment: This book does an OK job of going over the different methods with which one may intereact programmatically with Exchange 2000. However, the quick overview gives the basis for technologies such as ADO, CDO, and XML (which is what Microsoft touts as the real "killer" use of Exchange 2000), but it doesn't go far enough to get any worthwhile programming for more advanced users. Nor does it give enough of a background to really bring beginner programmers up to speed.
What's more, the applications used for demonstration in this book seem too close to standard SQL Server based apps. It almost seems as the writer forgot that Microsoft already put out a great techonolgy for dealing with large pools of data. It's called a database. The whole thing reminded me of the beginner developer who just learned the basics of client-server (or ASP) programming with a small Access database and then tries to roll out a production level application to his company. You all know the guy who's done this, and you pull your teeth out trying to get the darn thing to work since it's so slow and sloppy.
Bottom line-Go to MSDN for real examples on programming with and for Exchange. You'll save the money and be less frustrated.

Summary: Best Book Available on Exchange 2000 Software Development
Comment: This is easily the best book I have found on Exchange 2000 development. The book has amazing breadth, covering what you need to know about ADO, CDO, XML, Security, Events, Workflow, and Active Directory to build real applications for the Exchange 2000 platform. WOW. And I found the sample code to be extremely useful (although VBScript samples would have been even better). It also has a handy reference of the Web Storage System schema properties. Thank you Mindy Martin.

Summary: Very disappointing
Comment: This book does not provide enough technical detail to teach you how to program for Exchange 2000. Furthermore, the title claims "Web Applications", which is really thin in this volume.
I'd advise against wasting your money.
