1.0 out of 5 stars Did the cover say LotusScript?, February 6, 2000

OK so maybe the cover did say LotusScript, but if you are a Notes Developer, FORGET THIS BOOK! The book has absolutly nothing that deals with Notes/Domino at all. Maybe if there are people out there that want to learn LotusScript for other products besides Notes, this MIGHT be ok. There is little more to say for Notes consultants besides look elsewhere!

1.0 out of 5 stars Totally useless!, July 12, 2000

By 

Lucie Dorais (Ottawa, Ont. Canada) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Lotus Script for Dummies (Paperback)

I don't use Notes, just Approach... All I learned from this book is how to Click a button to show a Message Box. The author thinks he is very clever because he replaced the usual "Hello World" by "Goodbye Cruel World". If that is all you need Lotusscript for, then buy this book!

Unfortunately, I could not find any other book on the subject here... If someone knows one, please email me...

1.0 out of 5 stars Save your money., February 9, 1999

This review is from: Lotus Script for Dummies (Paperback)

I am a 1-2-3 user and this book used 12 full pages of 322 on the subject. The rest of this book ties primarily into Word Pro with examples that don't relate to getting the results into the document. Almost all of the examples stay inside the Script Editor, which doesn't help me at all. If you're a programmer, I doubt that this book will enlighten you, if you're not, you still won't be one. The "for Dummies" humor is OK at first, but after the cute examples with cute results, the jokes just grate on you.
