Lotus Notes Resources

Unfortunately, if you're a Lotus Notes developer StackOverflow doesn't typically have the answer and user base to answer your question. There are, however, two standard places to find what you're looking for. The Lotus Notes Forums ( Lotus Notes 8 Forum, Lotus Notes 6 & 7 Forum ) on the IBM website. They aren't readily apparent on the IBM website and if you think about it, the answer becomes clear.

Remember the video of Steve Ballmer leading the "developers, developers, developers" chant? Microsoft made it clear that it is focused on winning over developers. IBM, on the other hand, is mainly focused on winning over managers (or those with the purse strings).

I don't point that out to make either party look bad, but it does give us an idea of where we'll need to look when searching for resources and tutorials to find out how to best use the tools at our disposal.

All that said, the forums are a great place to find answer to Lotus Notes persistent questions:

• Lotus Notes 8 Forum
• Lotus Notes 6 & 7 Forum
