1.0 out of 5 stars
Excessive Errors DO NOT BUY THIS ! Wait for 2nd Edition.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Accelerated Lotus Script Study Guide (Exam 190-291) (Paperback)
Far too many errors to be useful. I there was a rating below one star this book would get it!I can only repeat this comment: "On average, there is one error per 2 pages of this book! Really. It's unbelievable that McGraw Hill would let something like it out. It's not just the explanatory text, but the sample questions are full of errors, too. " So you must know LotusScript pretty well to be able to identify the errors and understand that the book is wrong and not you. This is not of any use if you are using this book to prepare for the exam. I have written to McGraw Hill but got no response so far, I believe they owe anyone who has purchased this book an update. There is no errata for this on the web site (and the book has been out for 7 months).

Many Errors; Wait for updated edition,

This review is from: Accelerated Lotus Script Study Guide (Exam 190-291) (Paperback)
The cover itself has two major errors: the wrong test number (the book covers 190-273 not 190-291) and the target audience are developers not Systems Administrators as stated in the first bullet item. It's hard to believe that a reputable publisher would let this hit the shelves. (Others in this series have similarly egregious errors.) Many of the sample test questions have errors in them which could leave the reader misinformed or confused. Some of the text seems to be blatantly repeated to add bulk. Much of the good information is taken directly from the Lotus official documentation and Help database (word for word). This book should never have been published and should not continue to be sold as it is.

Many typos, but worth the money,

This review is from: Accelerated Lotus Script Study Guide (Exam 190-291) (Paperback)
The typos start on the cover. The LS test for Notes is 190-273. The cover lists test 190-291, which is LotusScript in 1-2-3, etc. There are typos in almost every, if not every, practice test at the end of each chapter. Much of the text is identical to paragraphs from the Programmers Guide from Lotus.Nonetheless, this book was a tremendous help in my preparation for the test (passed today). I've been coding LotusScript for a couple of years, but this book filled in some holes and served as a good refresher. If you need to LEARN LotusScript, buy Teach Yourself LotusScript by Kreisle & Oliver. If you need to REVIEW what you've been using and fill in the gaps, then buy this book.
