Summary: A waste of money
Review: Although I do not agree with sitting down and reading straight through a TY book, I think it is a good quick reference book. It does a good job of grouping methods and classes together.

Summary: Watse of money
Review: Do not buy this book. It does not teach you anything. It is like a reference manual that is not different than yellow books. If you are not familiar with class etc. buy the book called Practical Lotus Scripot by Patton. It will give you good start. That is all you need to start coding lotusScript and if you need more deatiled info on any subject you can always use the excellent online help of LotusNotes.

Summary: Taught my myself LotusScript...
Review: 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.

Summary: Rocky is the man
Review: I had the pleasant opportunity to know more about how and why this book was written. I will say this Rocky Oliver is a Lotus Notes god. I've worked with him for a number of years. I know what the man is capable of. I am sure that if Rocky had more direction in the content of this book, I'd give it 5 stars (Rocky when is your book coming out?) However, back to the subject. Notes Help is much better.

Summary: The best LotusScript tutorial on the market!
Review: 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.

Summary: Reference Only
Review: Teach Yourself LotusScript is OK as an additional reference for your library. It may give you some additional tips that you may not get from the Lotus Help Files.As far as an instructive guide for learning script is concerned it is a little light on. If your after a true instructive guide to learning script - there are probably better books out there.....

Summary: Just a Reference Book
Review: This book will not teach you how to develop using LotusScript. It can be used to remind you of certain topics if you are already a developer, but LN Help can do the same thing and it is free. There are numerous errors and the index is the worst that I have ever seen in a technical book. The examples are repetitive and useless after the 5th chapter. One of the most annoying things with this book is that for every example it contains, it tells you that in order to run the example, you must have installed the DB that comes with the disk. ONE BIG note at the beginning of the book would have accomplished the same thing with a lot less paper and ink. I guess the book needed to be filled with fluff to make it look bigger and therefore more desirable to consumers.
Rating: 
Summary: Use as a reference, not to "Teach Yourself."
Review: 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.
