This book is for Lotus Notes users only. Absolutely not for Domino admins. The help database is a lot more useful for admins. The author should take Domino part off the book's title.

This books is for users and maybe lowerlevel helpdesk people. This book is not suitable for admins.

Mastering is not what you will be doing if you read this. Understading Notes and Domino maybe, but certainly not a master.
I was hoping for more...

I was a Lotus Notes email user for a long time, and then got asked to start creating some small databases for my department. I had hacked for a while and had the basics down, and then this book really helped me figure out the little nits that it takes to build good applications. Not sure why the "admin" types are saying this is a lousy book ... it is clearly intended for people creating databases and not for admins. Anyway, if you're a new developer or programmer, I think this book will help you.

I am a user of lotus notes I consider myself a beginner and found this book helpful, educational and easy to follow. I highly recommend this book. I am now considering changing my job title to include .... Master !! Thank you for making my job that much easier... Keep the books coming!!

This book includes exhaustive detail on how to click menu items to get to a dialog box. Nothing at all about why this inexplicable, illogical software does what it does, or how to understand its methods. I could have used the Help file and received the same amount of information for free.

I thought this book was superb. It covered a wide variety of topics with much depth and is a great resource. I've read several chapters now and have a much better understanding of Notes and Domino 6. Many books out there don't do as good a job as this one does. This book has it all! I would certainly recommend this book to anyone wanting to master Notes/ Domino.

I'm not sure who this book was written for: Notes users or Admins. Its a little too in depth for the average user, while it covers almost nothing of real use to an admin, and even less about Domino (the reason I bought it). You're better off finding another book, or just fumbling around the Domino help files and news groups out there.
