Lotus Notes Development in a Nutshell
by William J Shefski William J Shefski (9781565924475)

Lotus is the software company that has brought us Notes and Domino with a user base of 34 million. "Lotus Notes Development in a Nutshell is the book that brings these server and client software together for a handy reference. Notes has evolved since its original incarnation in 1982; Notes now refers only to the client software that accesses Notes databases with ease and includes a Web browser. Domino now refers exclusively to the server software. It serves up Notes applications to the Notes client and fields Web page requests, sending back either straight HTML or Notes database features translated on the fly for the Web. Lotus calls the Notes client software "server-agnostic" because it can switch seamlessly between content on Domino or non-Domino Web servers and content presented for the Lotus Notes client on Domino servers. The client now can also serve as a universal email client, uniting Lotus Notes with Internet email and directory standards. "Lotus Notes Development in a Nutshell" will be the book for readers who need to plumb the mysteries of Lotus/Notes/Domino R5 Development. Release 5 confronts the standards-based open world of the Internet and the more proprietary, value-added influences of corporate client-server PC computing. Notes (an application and messaging platform) is evolving, with the Domino server, into a dynamic World Wide Web tool with countless users on the Internet.

This book is divided into two sections:

The first section covers Fields and Forms. A Field can be thought of as a canvas and a Form is what fills the canvas. Views and Databases are explained; a View is the way Form is presented and Databases are the meat of Notes. The last chapter in thissection targets Domino, the server-side software and excellent communication medium.

The second section contains the reference chapters, which include important Fomula and @Command References.

"Lotus Notes Development in a Nutshell" provides the programmer or developer with a complete reference manual for Lotus' next generation of Internet products: Notes integrated Internet client; Domino server platform for messaging, collaboration, and Internet and intranet applications; Domino Designer, Web and intranet application, and R5 development. It is the handy reference that every programmer will find essential to have nearby.
