A large portion of this book covers Domino Java classes and provide simple examples on using these classes' properties and methods, which I think could be easily found in Designer online help or Yellow book. Last couple chapters introduce Java technologies like servlet, applet, JDBC, and some IBM's products like VisualAge for Java and Websphere, and how to use them with Domino, but most of these chapters are introductory and how-tos, nothing more. Most examples are too simple, actually. So, if you are looking for a reference book on Domino Java classes and guidelines on how to use some Java technologies in Domino, this is a good book to get you started. But don't count on it to take you anywhere yet.

The book is a collection of explanation and examples from the help database of Domino and this does not justify anything for the money paid to it.
There is very minimum amount of info on important topics like Applets etc. where it has just one chapter on the applet.
It is more of a remake of Help database, with 75% of the material similar to the Help.
It would have been useful to the user if there was more explanation and examples.

This is a fantastic book for Domino developers starting out with Java. I knew absolutely nothing about Java before reading this book. After reviewing it for 3 hours I was able to do everything I can do with LotusScript.

Excellent resource, it provides depth where other books are lacking and it doesn't try to cover everything. I greatly appreciated the JDBC and Servlet chapters, but the WebSphere chapter was a bit disappointing. If you wanna use Java and Domino, this is the book.
