Hi every body,
I need develop a program into Lotus Notes, some know who start to program? What I need?
Subject: That’s a vague question
With lots of answers. Development in Lotus Notes is quote broad. The “Design Client” exposes the design of notes databases, allowing you to customise and modify, or create complex apps from scratch. Built into this client (which is sort of part of the standard Notes client) is “Simple functions”, which are also available to standard notes clients, “@Fucntions” (precompiled applets that you string together to get the result you require), LotusScript (a Visual Basic like programming language built into Notes).
Additionally, there are any number of API’s to allow C etc to interface with Notes.
Start with buying a design client, and going to a programming course. Or hire a Lotus Business Parter!
Tim.

Oh Thanks Tim, all of this it´s for the team that will develop a database and a program into lotus or another system. We have license of Lotus Notes and we want to take advantage of it.
They need material to program into Lotus, do you know where can we get this information in Mexico?
Thanks in advance for your help.

Redbook - Domino Designer 6: A Developer’s Handbook
In this IBM Redbook, we describe how to develop applications with IBM Lotus Domino Designer 6. With Domino Designer, you are able to create applications hosted by a Domino server. These applications can be used by different clients, such as Notes clients, Web browsers or mobile devices.
We introduce, and show in detail, how you can use all the design elements of Domino Designer, such as forms, pages, views, agents, outlines, resources and framesets. Readers who are familiar with developing applications using Release 5 of Lotus Domino may want to start at Chapter 12, which introduces the new features in Domino 6.0, and continue from there.
In the chapters toward the end of the book, we discuss the different programming languages, @functions, LotusScript, JavaScript, and Java, that can be used in Domino. We detail how to manipulate rich text objects by programming, as well as XML, in Domino.
