Domino 5 Web Programming with XML, Java, and JavaScript
by Randall A. Tamura, Randy Tamura Paperback: 800 pages Dimensions (in inches): 2.11 x 9.20 x 7.44 Publisher: Que ISBN: 0789722755; 1st edition (August 8, 2000) Few platforms for content and service delivery over Internet-standard networks have built upon open programming languages to the extent that Domino has. IBM's flagship server product, with support for its own object models as well as those generally supported by Web browsers, has a remarkable capacity to support platform-independent clients. Domino 5 Web Programming with XML, Java, and JavaScript shows how to create server-side applications by using Domino Designer, and then how to communicate with those programs from the client side by a variety of means. In large part, this book is an object reference. It includes a complete directory of the Document Object Model (DOM) with which JavaScript works, plus reference material on the Domino objects for Java. The DOM and JavaScript material--to the extent that it documents the standard, non-Domino-specific scripting environment--isn't especially valuable; better references exist in print and on the Web. The portions of the reference that deal with Domino's own object model, however, are very good and worth including in the library of any Domino shop. Explanatory material is excellent, such as a play-by-play description of what happens when a user submits a form. Examples also make this book worthwhile. For example, you can turn to this book for a quick demonstration of how to use CORBA to mediate communications between a Java applet and a Domino server. Randall Tamura's work shows you several ways to solve most client/server application problems under Domino. --David Wall Topics in Domino 5 Web Programming with XML, Java, and JavaScript covered: • Creating custom Domino and Notes applications through the use of Java, JavaScript, HTML, and XML. • Coverage of Domino Designer explains the server side of the development equation, while tutorials on HTML, JavaScript, the Document Object Model (DOM), and Java applets take care of the client side. • Database access and forms management get special attention. From Book News, Inc.: A book/CD-ROM explaining how various Web technologies work with Domino and giving examples of how they can be used to build Web applications. • Part I covers important aspects of user interface programming with the Domino Designer, and • Part II covers HTML and JavaScript. • Part III discusses the difference between Java agents, applets, and applications and shows how to build Java agents and applets. • Part IV is a complete reference for all classes, properties, and methods for the Domino Object classes, and • Part V covers basics of XML, how to use XSL, and how to serve XML from Domino. The CD-ROM contains source code for examples, and software. Tamura is a Principal Certified Lotus Professional.Book News, Inc.®, Portland, OR Book Info: Provides Domino developers with the knowledge and examples to develop compelling Web applications with Domino. Contains information on programming client interfaces with JavaScript and HTML in Domino Designer, and provides a class reference for all the Java Domino Object classes. From the Inside Flap: Front cover quote: "Domino provides critical collaboration infrastructure for businesses in the new Internet economy. 'Domino 5 Web Programming with XML, Java, and JavaScript' is a wonderful reference for these new technologies that will enable the next generation of e-business applications." - Al Zollar, President and CEO, Lotus Development Corp. From the Back Cover: Domino 5 Web Programming with XML, Java, and JavaScript provides the latest information about the newest technologies in the Domino Designer. Learn how to program client interfaces with the Domino Designer. Use JavaScript to enhance your Web user experience and access back-end database systems with Domino Java servlets or agents. Each of the Domino Object classes is described, making this a handy reference for Domino Java programmers. You'll learn advanced techniques such as how Notes and Domino interact with Java threads and how to create Java Server Pages by integrating the IBM WebSphere Application server with Domino. You'll learn secrets of component programming with Java Applets and JavaBeans. Each chapter ends with a set of questions that can be used to test your understanding. Customer Reviews If you want a future in Domino Dev, buy this book, August 14, 2000 Reviewer: FRANK T. from Kennesaw, GA United States This book is divided into 5 sections: IDE, JavaScript, Using Java in Notes/Domino, Domino objects for Java, and Data Integration. I didn't buy the book for the 162 pg IDE section and it may be considered a bit basic (I already know how to start Designer). The 158 pg JavaScript section is great and lays out the Document Object Model nicely (something difficult to find elsewhere). It gives good demos on validation, rollovers, and cookies. Java is covered in the 3rd and 4th sections comprising 348 pages. It's deep and comprehensive. The remaining 157 pgs is devoted to Enterprise Integration, combining XML, Java, and Domino. I really like that the CD has the full text of the book, making searching a breeze. Good book for reviewing What Notes/Domino can do, December 20, 2000 Reviewer: TSEJEN J CHEN from USA This is the book that let me keep reading all the times. As a As400 RPG programmer and Notes Developer, I like to know what Domino/Notes can do and looking for the way of directions and the key elements to bring back-end database to the Internet thru Domino. I like this book because it gives me the directions and shows me the ways to apply Java,JavaScript and Servlet to the Domino Server either from inside Domino Agents or outside Domino.Especially, the topics for Notes Java classes really shows me the way to java coding in Notes Agents. Though it is not complete to cover all these area, it is definitely a excelent book to keep.The writing is good and author always get to the point right away for each topic. Maybe it is a waste of money for people who knows all these topics already but it is certainly a key door to the people like me who has been wondering how to get to these area for years. After reading all of it, I definitely know where to go and how to do to be a cutting edge programmer. Useful, April 4, 2002 Reviewer: Boniface Mbithi from Nairobi, Kenya. I have read this book and found it useful. As a beginner on Domino Web Development this book has realy helped me in developing adequate skills in XML, Javascript and Java. About as bad as they come, April 25, 2001 Reviewer: Michael Finkelstein from The Revere Group in Charlotte, NC Don't waste your time or money with this book. I thought for sure with a title like this that it would skip all the what is Notes junk (like how to create views and forms, etc.) that all Notes books seem obligated to include. It is just a bunch of a filler in an otherwise useless book. I was looking forward to seeing some good JavaScript examples as it is used in common Notes situations. Well, no such luck. I struggled to find anything on something as basic and useful as the onChange event. This book is also not organized very well and is very confusing to learn follow. I am not sure the author has a good grasp of what he is writing. VERY DISAPPOINTING!!!! |
