4.0 out of 5 stars Well worth buying, December 15, 1997

This review is from: The Lotus Domino Server: Integrating Lotus Notes 4.6 With the Internet (Paperback)

What a dumb idea - using Lotus' Notes product to run a Web site! Reading reviews of Notes Domino in PC magazines made me sceptical. But I needed Domino for an e-commerce site, so with heavy heart I ordered this book. Now I am really mad. This book, and Lotus Domino, have turned my ideas upside down. I've had to change my Web site strategy, blast it, because this book has shown just how easy it is to build a phenomenal and dynamic web site using Domino 4.6. This is an excellent guide on using Lotus Notes as a Web server. It was an eye opener for me. The biggest missing element is a good index - I would rather have had this than a CD. It could also do with more worked examples. Despite these small flaws, an excellent book. Most religious conversions come about from evangelism. My conversation to Lotus Domino was just based on knowledge clearly revealed in this book and common sense.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not worth it!, July 15, 1998

This review is from: The Lotus Domino Server: Integrating Lotus Notes 4.6 With the Internet (Paperback)

This book is not what I expected. First part of the book is for beginners, and most of the book deals with domino.action, which any serious developer wouldn't consider using.

If you rip almost 150 pages of the book, you could get a very good reference about Domino Commands.

Even the photos look like something a 10 year old made in an hour or two.

Where's the Domino book we all want?

1.0 out of 5 stars Not at all thorough at covering Domino's capabilities., June 18, 1998

Richard Hassinger "user" (Chicago) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Lotus Domino Server: Integrating Lotus Notes 4.6 With the Internet (Paperback)

This book was labeled and intermediate to advanced guide to web development with Domino, but in fact it is very very introductory. Many of the first chapters are for people who don't even know Notes, and Part 3 of the book (which is over half) glosses over some add-ons that are not part of the basic Domino package. What's left are two chapters dealing directly with web development, and much of the material (especially tables) come straight from the rather unhelpful yellow Notes 4.6 documentation. This is NOT a book for advanced developers.
