A Must have for Domino Developers
Despite the obvious error on the part of the printer or publisher (missing javascript chapters can be downloaded at mcp.com, search for the books ISBN) this book was well worth the price! I found real insider developer info here I was never able to find anywhere else. I've purchased other Notes books by S. Kern in the past and have always been happy and Debbie Lynd is a real "who's who" in the world of Lotus, I've been to her seminars and I would recommend anything she writes! If you are an experienced Notes/Domino developer, this book is a must have. Great tutorial, good reference, solid information that you can't afford to be without!

Fantastic
As another reviewer states, don't buy this book to learn Java or JavaScript. But do buy the book. The authors continually look at all Domino programming/developing from an Object Oriented Point of view, which I found fascinating, and educational. Its caused me to rethink even the simplest Notes task from an OOP point of view, and I had not done that before.What is nice about the book is that not only do the authors give you the "how to" of forms, subforms, outlines, pages, @comands/formulas, LotusScript, Java, e.t.c in Notes, they give you tons of tips/advice that are definitely on track with Best Practices for Notes. Plain how to's don't cut it anymore, and these authors know that--they give you the "why" and the "where" that is missing from so many instructional manuals.
A really complete, and well written book that I can honestly recommend. With such a lack of good Notes Development books out there (yet tons of Notes Developers), this is a refreshing change.

Not practical for Business
I've had this book at my desk at work for over a year now. I still have not found one pratical use for this book. Every time I ran into a question developing a Notes application this book has been no help. A lot of the applications used in my business rely on LotusScript which is very weakly covered in this book. My advice, go to lotus.com and get their manuals. You'll be better off. Similar Products
