Dec's Dom Blog 
Declan: This is a fantastic series of lessons! I just went through them all last night and this morning, like reading a page-turner. Not only are these well-written, with extremely clear examples, but they build so logically from one to the next. The explanations of design decisions about why you’re coding an example in a certain way are really enlightening. But most of all, the choice of using an example of creating a class to look up data from the Domino Directory is something any Domino developer can see the usefulness, instantly (blowing right past “hello world”).
