I've just updated my Application Development Resources with a bunch of new content. For example, Lotus Education On Demand released a great set of tutorials on Building Databases with Domino Designer 7.
This free tutorial is designed to take you through the steps of building a fully functional Domino database using Domino Designer 7. You will be introduced to all the necessary design elements such as forms and views, as well as actions, agents and outlines. Each part of the course is accompanied by a database file. This database provides completed examples of the exercises in each part.
As we move closer to the next year's release of Notes/Domino, your company should be extremely excited about upgrading and enhancing your current Notes and Domino applications, as well as thinking up dozens of new applications you can develop with great new features.
