5.0 out of 5 stars The Best For Me, May 24, 1999

This review is from: Lotus Notes Developer's Guide: For Users of Release 4.0 Through 4.5 (Paperback)

I went through a many-month process of learning Lotus Notes 4.5 development while writing Notes applications. My bookshelf had over three feet of reference books -- the yellow manuals from Lotus and many third-party books. When the project was all done, and I went back to Visual Basic development, Rose's book was *clearly* the most-frequently-used of the whole bunch. Highly recommended!

1.0 out of 5 stars This book is worthless., February 10, 1999

This review is from: Lotus Notes Developer's Guide: For Users of Release 4.0 Through 4.5 (Paperback)

This book seems to cover all the topics one would hope for, but they all read the same, "This is what you can do - now look a the example on the included CD and figure how on your own". If anything, this book is good for just a quick review of what Notes is capable of doing, but it will not tell you how to do it. The few examples given in the book are pages long script examples that only the most seasoned programers are going to understand.

2.0 out of 5 stars OK, I'll be a weasel..., January 7, 1999

By 

Kristy ([e-mail]) (Atlanta, GA, US) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Lotus Notes Developer's Guide: For Users of Release 4.0 Through 4.5 (Paperback)

I purchased this book for two reasons:
(1). The good (although scanty) reviews it had received;
(2) The chapter on web-enabling a Notes db. So far (I've had the book for a month or so), everything I've looked for in this book, I've also found in the Application Developer's Guide and Programmer's Guide Part 2 from Lotus; the "yellow books" (and online help) generally have more detail. The most useful bit of information I came across in this Developer's Guide is a blurb about a bug related to Authors fields. The Domino chapter is sadly poor and basic. I learned more in a day of experimenting and using the "Working With Lotus Notes and the Internet" book from Lotus than I did from this chapter. What I was hoping for is a book that would supplement and expand on the content in the ubiquitous yellow books. I didn't find it here.
