Using LotusScript in IBM Lotus Domino 7 Applications

Description:

You will learn the techniques of programming in LotusScript while you learn to access and work with objects in the Domino Object Model. This workshop starts by introducing students to the LotusScript language, having you retrieve properties of a database, using methods of NotesDatabase, and traversing down the Document Object Model to ACL classes. The skill of navigating the Document Object Model is continuously reinforced throughout the course as you learn to work with front-end and back-end classes. You are introduced to error checking the LotusScript Debugger early on so that you use it throughout the course.
