5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent for Beginners, March 28, 2000

This review is from: Lotus Domino for Dummies (Paperback)

I bought this book for my cousin and he learned a lot from the book. It is the best book you can find in the market if you don't know Lotus Domino.

5.0 out of 5 stars 5 Stars, December 23, 2002

By 

Bev Stokes (New York, NY) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Lotus Domino for Dummies (Paperback)

My company recently switched to Domino and I needed to learn how to develop in this environment quickly, and I had absolutely zero Domino experience. A friend lent this book to me saying that although it is a bit old it is still the best resource his employees have used for learning Domino development, and he bought it based on his IBM sales rep's endorsement.

The book brought me from nothing to being able to comfortably develop forms and views in only a few days. The author is witty (his name is Jon Stuart after all, maybe the same one from Comedy Central), easy to understand, does not make offensive assumptions, and is a Domino maven.

I am presently searching ... trying to get more copies for some other developers at my company, but I am having an impossible time. Any help would be appreciated.

3.0 out of 5 stars A good but very general introduction to Domino, October 30, 1997

This review is from: Lotus Domino for Dummies (Paperback)

This is a good book for those not very technical and/or those who want a gentle intro to Lotus Domino. But for those wanting a comprehensive course, this is not the book for you. Not very many examples are given, and I would say about half of the 360 or so pages are wasted with unnecessary screen captures and extruciatingly detailed instructions on how to, for example, create a form, but with no details about what to put in that form, just on how to create the form itself. These instructions are repeated verbatim every time the author involves a similar step in some other description, instead of just saying "refer to page ..." though he does do this once or twice.
