This book is a comprehensive overview of both Application Development and Systems Administration and also has great Lotus Script and Java overviews; all based on the new R5 environment.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great for someone new to R5, May 11, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Special Edition Using Lotus Notes and Domino R5 (Paperback)

Having bought the previous book by Mr. Tamura (Notes 4.6) which, at the time, was the only one around that covered 4.6 Client AND Server, I went for this book, too.
I agree that it might not be of any help for experienced Notes developers and admins, but for those of us who have to struggle through... it's a godsend.
I'm still working my way through it, but seeing as I use the 4.6 book as my bible... I have a sneaking suspicion that the same will apply to the R5 book.
It helped me set up R5 from scratch, and it worked. So there. ;-) Already I didn't have to go through the "Trial and Error" phase. That alone was worth it.
