Customer Reviews

Book has been a great help

Before I bought this book, I did not know anything about LotusScript nor Visual Basic. Now I feel confident when creating scripts in forms and databases.

Demystifies LotusScript

As a beginning developer I was trying to do everything with formulas because I found LotusScript a mystery. The book has unravelled the mystery in a very clear and logical way. The first few chapters explain the structure of LotusScript and are enough to get you comfortable using it. Later chapters give you hints and ideas of how to use more advanced scripting. I'm now using LotusScript without fear. The appendix, which contains a full description of classes, properties and methods is fantastic. I never bother with the on-line help now - I go straight to the book if I want to know what class to use, or which property/method will do the job.

Excellent book to start learning LotusScript

It is a step by stpe learning guide. It will give you enough background to start coding right away. This one and the online help are the only tools you need.

Well-organized, will wear off the cover

I browsed through it for 30 minutes at a bookstore and definitely want to get it, but I'll save the money myself and buy it through work. I need the chapters on events and subforms in particular. I, too, have yellow books, redbooks, Inside LotusScript, and Teach Yourself LotusScript. It was well written, clear, and well organized in my browse, and will help in the applications I have in progress.

Great lotusscript reference and guide

I bought this book over a month ago and it has served me well in the way information is organized and presented. It would help if the Author covered a little more advanced sections on OLE Automation, NotesPump classes as well as ODBC. I find this book very resourceful even though I already have the 60 minute guide, the yellow books, the red books .. mainly because of the elegant presentation style of the Author. All example code has line by line explanations which help to understand the code easily.Sid Bagali Principal CLP R4 Application Developer CLP R4 System Administrator
