Recommendations for resources on web-enabling a Domino app? (from a LUG.org reader)
Category LotusUserGroup.org Software Development
A couple of days ago I got a question from a Developer Tips newsletter reader:
What are some books that you would recommend to get if in the process of
web-enabling an application? Also, is there any software that allows for
converting current lotusscript/formula language to javascript?
The closest I can get to a book that seems to deal with Domino-specific web app work is rather dated ( Domino 5 Web Programming with XML, Java, and JavaScript ). There's also Lotus Notes and Domino 6 Programming Bible, but that deals with far more than just web app features.
Since books alone won't get you where you need to be with Domino web development, what other resources might you suggest?

The problem with Domino as it exists today is that the web translation engine is old (a new one is coming though!), so you pretty much need to write your own code. Make use of modern javascript frameworks like Dojo and Prototype...they'll make your life a lot easier.
I think the best, although perhaps most cumbersome, way to learn this stuff is to sit with a seasoned veteran that can mentor you through the process. There are many Domino gurus out here, a bunch of who do freelance work and might be able to assist in this effort. It might not be the cheapest option, but if you're completely not sure where to start, it's a great way to kick things off.
