Title: CLP Fast Track: Lotus Notes/Domino 5 System Administration (MCSE Fast Track) by Tony Aveyard, Jay Forlini, Karen Fishwick, Dave Hatter ISBN: 0735708789 Publisher: Que Pub. Date: 22 June, 2000 Format: Paperback Volumes: 1 List Price(USD): $39.99 |
Average Customer Rating: 2.75

Summary: Watch out!!!
Comment: Be very careful when using this book!
The book contains tons of typos that repeat over and over again (A spell/grammar check would have helped this book), some paragraphs don't make sense at all and others describe two contradictory ideas right it the same line.
Look out for the word DO where DON'T was intended to be (and the other way around) because they change completely the meaning of a sentence and there are at least 3 that I remember (looks like the paragraph was copy/pasted and just the title was changed... not a very good way of writing a serious book).
I would say that the book is helpful if you already have a good knowledge of Domino and are reading it just to fill out some voids, in this case you would be able to catch up the typos and most importantly the contradictions and learn from them. Do not use it if you don't have already a good basis because it will completely mislead and confuse you.
The only reason the book is not a complete waste of time/money is because it does provide some good information and tips that may help during the exam.
Good luck!

Summary: Not well edited, but may be the best (only?) alternative
Comment: Poor execution of an excellent concept. This would be a most excellent book if someone took the time to carefully edit it. It starts out great/almost flawless, and then quickly fades. The typos are numerous. Many explanations are not clearly worded. I just took a practice test and, looking at the answer key, found three instances were the letter answer specified did not match the explanation given (yet more typos.)
Having said all that, this book is my constant companion. It is helping me focus on what I need to pass the test. It does take extra time to verify what is written in the book - and to look up key words left out here and there (like what database does one need "author" access in - is it the cert log or the Dom Dir? - or the title/file name of the database containing the documents they are talking about.) I do not know of any other books that focus on the test like this one, so just have patience and realize the book is sometimes wrong/contradictory.

Summary: Great Book, but watch the typos!
Comment: If you've been in the Notes Biz for awhile and have yet to take your tests, then this is the book for you, however it does have a few errors, and a few hilarious typos in the book. Heck they even managed to misspell "Lotus." Did anyone proofread this book? It doesn't do much for one's confidence in the material when there are mispelled words in the book...
