Fundamentals of IBM Lotus Domino 7 Application Development Course, Class Outline
(4 days)Version 7
Course Description
The course provides the information that developers need to know to successfully create and modify database applications in IBM® Lotus® Domino Designer® 7. It provides an overview of the Lotus Domino 7 and Domino Designer 7 environments, introduces the elements and skills that are used in creating single-database Lotus Domino applications, describes how the formula language can be used to enhance the functionality of a Lotus Domino application, and explains how Lotus Domino applications can be secured.
This course extends participants' Domino application development skills by teaching them how to use the Domino tools to design and develop dynamic Web applications. Participants learn how to efficiently use Domino fields and page lay out design elements in the Web pages. They learn how to use JavaScript in their Domino application. Participants do not need to know how to program in this language to acquire an understanding of how and where to apply the programming capabilities to the best advantage. Finally, this course covers security topics specific to the Domino web environment.
