Lotus Domino R5 Development Part 4: Making Your Application Run

This is the fourth course in a nine part series for webmasters application developers and graphic designers that will introduce Notes/Domino features web-specific tasks and basic system administration tasks to be up on the web quickly and to use Domino to create Web sites and Web applications. At the completion of this course students will learn how to identify the object-oriented hierarchy for Domino objects; identify the various rules while writing formulas; identify the different type of agents; create actions agents special hotspots and dynamic window titles; identifying creating and using shared resources in Lotus Notes; and identify the guidelines that help to run formulas effectively and help you identify the Document State.
