Subject: Lotus script OR Java script?

Hi Vijay,

Lotus script and java script are two different scripts.

If u are working on notes client then you have to use formula language and lotus script. If you are working on web application then javascript comes into picture but lotus script and formula language also supports.

My advice is to learn both lotus script and java script both are good and easy to learn.

for java script www.w3schools.com

for lotus script notes help.

Thanks

Subject: Lotus script OR Java script?

You have three languages to learn in order to program Notes and Domino effectively: Formula Language; LotusScript and JavaScript. There are a number of things you may want to do that will require you to learn Java as well.

Your question would have been better phrased as “should I learn LotusScript or Java?” (Do not use the word “script” when talking about the Java language. Java and JavaScript are two comnpletely different languages.) The answer is that LotusScript is going to be a higher priority if you are developing for the Notes client since Java has no access to the user interface. There are some things, though, that Java can do better or more easily in the back end or on the web.
