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!

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.

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.

I love working with Lotus Notes, and am thrilled with the value the product adds to my clients. I found this book facsinating in that (1) it dealt with a version of Notes that I hadn't used before, and (2) it provided a catalogue of applications, and talked about how each would add value to the business. It was great. I plan to tell all my clients about the book, and loan them my copy if they want to read it for themselves.

Perhaps now that R5 is just about here, and the development capabilities of Notes have been extended significantly, it's time for version 2 of the book.

I was given this book by a friend; I was thankful that I did not purchase it myself. It is a high level, very brief summary of the types of applications for which Notes can be used.

There is no outline of the process; just a discussion of a problem and here's the Notes database to use. Even an outline would have been helpful.

A good idea of a book (hence a 2-star review); but lacking in all aspects.
