4.0 out of 5 stars Really good book for new programmer, February 16, 2001

By

This review is from: Notes and Domino R5 Developer's Guide to Building Applications (Paperback)

I got this book because my company is starting to use Lotus a lot and I'm glad I did. I've done a lot of Word macros and a little Perl for the web but I've never really worked with any databases much. This book was a great introducion to what Notes databases can do and how to build them. There were a lot of cool ideas about how to do stuff with the WWW, and although I haven't done much Lotus script yet, the chapters on that are very easy to understand. There are also a lot of examples of how to really go and do things. I might have given it five starts, but some of the pictures look dark and are hard to read (but I think they put better copies on the publisher's web site!).

4.0 out of 5 stars Detailed and Precise!!, December 10, 2001

This review is from: Notes and Domino R5 Developer's Guide to Building Applications (Paperback)

This book is very good for any programmer who wants to learn Domino and go from a lower level to a higher one. It is one of those books you have to sit down along with the software.It gives a good amount of description about use of Java,Applets,Javasacript & HTML along with Domino. The soapboxes provide very important information.
It is a dissapointment for VB and ASP programmers who might be looking forward to use these technologies with Domino.
One drawback of the book is its picture quality.Apart from this the preciseness of this book can be exemplified by the fact that the IBM redbook tells that nested tables upto 4 levels are provided by Domino though this book states it to be 8 levels and that is true.
There is also a good intoduction to OLE,COM,ODBC,DECS,File Handling and Rich Text Programming. No mention of uses of Domino with XML or Websphere can be found. No mention of enterprise integration with SAP or Siebel.No mention of LEI.Of course , the book is not designed to handle some of the above topics probably.
My Suggestion :Trial Demo of Domino's R5 software and this book can help you in getting a CLS.
