1.0 out of 5 stars Waste of money and time, August 31, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Lotus Notes Idea Book (Paperback)

Even as a new developer this book did not do anything to enhance my understanding of Notes Development. If the authors had included development tips or design topics it might be worth the money. But, it read like an over-worded marketing piece created to convince someone to use Notes!

1.0 out of 5 stars This book is poor..., January 7, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Lotus Notes Idea Book (Paperback)

Even if this book did apply to the current version of Notes, it still does not really show you how to put together the application or any "unseen" things. This book, for lack of a better word, stinks. Also, if you want to do anything with the Web, it doesn't cover that either. Don't buy this book.

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent source for Notes inspiration, May 23, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Lotus Notes Idea Book (Paperback)

Great for getting ideas and providing a head start on their implementation. The book is not for people wanting to learn about Notes development, it's for people who already know how and want to put Notes to its best use. Well worth the few dollars.
