This review is from: Programming Domino 4.6 with Java (Paperback)

This is by far the best and most useful book I have purchased in a long time! Bob has great insights on the future of Web interfaces to data and how you, as a programmer, can effectively work in the new paradigm. He does an excellent (and concise) job of helping you sort out the architectural options for the web: cgi/perl/asp/activex/etc. The book then has a detailed explanation of everything you need to know to program Domino in Java. I found Bob's speculation on the CORBA/IIOP and Domino v5.0 technologies especially useful in planning our IT infrastructure. Please buy this book if you are curious about Domino and Java! If you are new to Java you should also find a beginners guide. This is not a 'learn Java and Domino' text for beginners. Intermidiate and Advanced users, however, definitely need this book before they write another Agent in Domino or another CGI script in Perl. This book will wake you up to the future of the Web, Domino, and Java programming!

5.0 out of 5 stars Was far ahead of it's time and still useful, September 2, 2005

This review is from: Programming Domino 4.6 with Java (Paperback)

Bob Balaban is a Louts Notes and Domino guru. After working for Lotus for many years, Bob certainly new the nuts and bolts of Lotus Notes better than just about anyone.

This book was way ahead of it's time. I heard Bob speaking about Domino and Java at The View's advanced technical seminar in 1999. At that time many Lotus Notes developers were just coming to grips with LotusScript (although it was introduced in Lotus Notes 4) and all of the new web features associated with Domino; HTML, CSS, JavaScript etc.

While this book is now dated, it is still one of the best on programming Lotus Notes and Domino with Java, and the only one that focuses solely on that topic. Many other books have glossed over this topic altogether. Although a couple of others have provided good treatment. If you are new to Notes and Java then it could still be well worth your while to pick up a copy.

5.0 out of 5 stars If you wanna program Java with Domino, you need it!, November 1, 1998

This review is from: Programming Domino 4.6 with Java (Paperback)

Before buying this book I used LotusScript for all my programs. Having read a few java books previously and then this book, I was able to write complex java agents/servlets for Domino. This book really gets down to the nitty gritty and tells all about the NOI interface. (even some parts where Bob made an error on.) I highly recommend this book if you know Notes/Domino well, have some java experience, and want to write java domino programs.
