Getting started

If you are a developer new to Lotus Notes and Domino, you face a substantial learning curve. If you are already a Domino developer, but are new to working with Domino applications on the Web, then the learning curve is not so steep.

As a Domino developer, you must master the Notes and Designer clients, and you must achieve some level of coding competence with Formula Language, LotusScript, HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and possibly Java. In addition, you must embrace the Domino way of doing things. You must understand its security features, design templates, replication, workflow, and so on. In a web application, all of these elements work together to achieve some desirable business purpose.
