Book Description
Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com Review
The team of eight writers who produced Lotus Notes and Domino 4.5 Professional Reference for New Riders Press set out to write a book for advanced administrators and application developers. Fortunately they missed their mark and instead created a rare book that affords valuable information for the novice and guru alike.
At nearly 1000 pages, it is a tome packed with well-written examples and careful explanations of topics as diverse as basic database creation and the advanced uses of LotusScript. For those charged with administering a Notes site, the book includes detailed instructions for migrating from Notes 3.x to 4.5 and from 4.x to 4.5. A whole section is devoted to complete Notes client and server installations, while another section contains troubleshooting hints for a wide array of Notes server and client problems.
The included CD-ROM contains a variety of sample databases and third-party software from Ives, QXCOM, Autocad, and Wordview from Microsoft.

DO NOT BUY THIS!!!!,
By
This review is from: Lotus Notes and Domino 4.5: Professional Reference (Hardcover)
It is the most shallow coverage of Notes that I've ever seen. I still don't understand how they managed to pack so little information into so many pages.For example, a new feature of 4.5 is Multidatabase indexing through a site search database. Here is the unabridged exerpt from this "reference" on site search: "The Multi Databse Indexing feature enables you to create many indices at once. After these indices exist, it is possible to search more than one database at a time for data (such as a client's name or company name). This feature can be extremely helpfull when designing a Web page. As shown in figure 8.21, you must be a manager of the file to enable this option." That's it. That pathetic, inane, useless, and technically incaccurate blurb is all the info this book provides on site search. They don't even know what a site search database is (its the tool used to actually build a multidatabase index). And the worst part is that the whole book is like this. Uhh... I don't know exactly what this is but uhh.... here's the property box for it and uhh... you can click boxes and stuff on it. And uhh.. oh, yeah, you have to have sufficient access to do that. Avoid this one like the plague. New Riders Publishing should really be ashamed of themselves.

The Worst Notes Reference I Have Ever Seen,
By A Customer
This review is from: Lotus Notes and Domino 4.5: Professional Reference (Hardcover)
Usually when I buy a book and it doesn't live up to my expectations I can still find some upside or bennefit from it. Not so with this weighty waste of tree and money. This is hands down the most worthless reference that I have ever seen for any technology. It goes into NO technical depth on any issue, in places it is an almost word for word regurgitation of the original Lotus' documentation <can you kids out there say copywrite infringement??>, and to add insult to incompetence it costs about 70$.If you are a Lotus professional with any level of skill, avoid this book. I wouldn't even recommend it for beginners who have no experience with Notes because even though it provides the technical equivalent of "Notes For Dummies", it takes 1000 pages to do it! I am extremely dissapointed in this book, especially since I bought it without really looking through it because I have been very pleased with the NT Professional Reference that New Riders published. Oops. So, if anyone from New Riders is out there, I haven't bought a New Riders book since I purchased this piece of crap and I'll be very carefull before doing so in the future.

Never have some many words been used to say so little,
By Frode.Island.Bergan@Virtek.no (Norway) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Lotus Notes and Domino 4.5: Professional Reference (Hardcover)
This book is less than useless, I had more questions than answars after reading it. The book is terribly shallow and never goes into any depth.
