How I got started with Lotus Notes
Inspired by Theo Heselmans and many others here is my version of “How I got started with Lotus Notes”.
I have been with IBM since 1994 and in 1997 I worked in a support team that developed and maintained tools to support the product introduction process. IBM had acquired Lotus in 1995 so it was natural for us to start developing tools using Lotus Notes.
I started with Lotus Notes R3.3 and worked with Lotus Notes and Lotus Domino ever since – and in the case of Domino on platforms such as Windows, Linux, AIX and z/OS.
I am a certified developer in R4.5, R5, R6 and R7 – and not yet in R8. I have to start looking at the R8 upgrade path soon 🙂
Who’s left to tell their story?
Domino web application development best practices
Earlier this year the IBM Redbooks team were looking for authors for creating a wiki on best practices for building web application for Lotus Domino 8. The team has been assembled and the result is a wiki on developerWorks on Lotus Domino web application development best practices.
The result looks very interesting and I look forward to have a deeper look into the details of the work.

Update September 16: The wiki has moved and is now called the Lotus Domino Designer wiki.
