Book Review IBM Lotus notes and Domino 8 5 1 The Upgraders Guide IBM Lotus Notes and Domino 8.5.1: The Upgraders Guide by Tim Speed, Barry Rosen, Joseph Anderson, Dick McCarrick, Bennie Gibson, Brad Schauf and David Byrd Published by PACKT Publishing. This book clocks in at about 336 pages which is nowhere near enough to be a complete administrators guide to the gigantic field that IBM Lotus Notes and Domino has become. Fortunately, it identifies its market well and restricts itself firmly to its stated objectives. The book aims to introduce Lotus Notes and Domino 8.5.1 to people who are already familiar with earlier versions of Notes/Domino. Its not a dummies guide and its not an administrators handbook. Its purely and simply an upgraders guide. As someone who never actually bothers to read the "whats new" section of the help files which ship with IBM products, and who instead relies solely on the blogging community (and Lotus-Comes-To-You) to highlight the main interest poi...

Book Review Instant IBM Lotus Notes 8 5 3 How to by Barry Max Rosen Instant IBM Lotus Notes 8.5.3 How-to Master IBM Lotus Notes with tips, hints, and instructions that will help you increase your productivity by Barry Max Rosen Published by PACKT Publishing Instant IBM Lotus Notes 8.5.3 How-to is a short book by computer standards.  Its 68 pages and includes a lot of illustrations. This meant that I could literally read it during a one-way trip to work on the bus. For the most part however its short length is good because it manages to introduce many concepts not found in books several times its size and deals with them quickly in a non talky way. Its straight down to business. The book doesnt identify a single audience but rather targets simple, intermediate and advanced users.  This allows you to get a lot of long-term use out of the book but it also means that for "simple users", reading through the book cover-to-cover isnt really an option.  For example, the book jump...
