4.0 out of 5 stars Use as a reference, not to "Teach Yourself.", September 29, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: teach yourself LotusScript® for Notes/Domino 4.6 (Paperback)

This is a very good reference book for LotusScript. It can also help people familiar with Visual Basic to get up to speed on LotusScript. So if you're in either of those two categories, this book will probably help. If you're not sure what LotusScript is, skip this book until later.

3.0 out of 5 stars Taught my myself LotusScript..., March 16, 2000

By 

CLP Notes Developer (Sweden) - See all my reviews

This review is from: teach yourself LotusScript® for Notes/Domino 4.6 (Paperback)

I did manage to teach my self LotusScript using this book, but it wasn't easy. It's very well structured, almost like a reference book. Its weakest point however is the lack of a good index, the one it contains is far from complete. Thus making it a bad reference. I would like to see a either that the authors make a more didactic revision of it, or make it into to a reference book with a better index. As it is now, it's not good enough for either or. I can't say that I've seen any better LotusScript selfstudy books though, so I would still have to recommend it.

This review is from: teach yourself LotusScript® for Notes/Domino 4.6 (Paperback)

I read this book from front to back. It was a great tutorial that got me started writing LotusScript quickly. I've also found it serves as a great reference manual. Reading this book has paid off for me many times over.
