From the Back Cover
The Definitive XPages Development Guide--Straight from the XPages Team at IBM Lotus
XPages is the most significant improvement to Lotus Notes/Domino development in 20 years. Now, three IBM Lotus insiders have written the definitive programmer’s guide to this breakthrough web application development framework. Packed with tips, tricks, and best practices, Mastering XPages brings together all the information you need to become an XPages expert, whether you’re experienced with Notes/Domino development or not.
The authors begin with a high-level overview of XPages: how it works, why it works that way, and why it’s such a powerful step forward. Next, you’ll install XPages and Domino Designer, and start building your expertise through practical code examples using real-world XPages applications. As you progress, you’ll master XPages from the bottom up, gain deep insight into the entire XPages development model, and discover how XPages can be used to solve everyday application development challenges.

Also, this book misses the new Dojo upgrade where all the Dojo widgets can be dragged and dropped. So I buy instead a good Dojo book, I think that it will be more useful.
Also few practical cases or illustrations... it is code and code and code....
Because it is Kindle, I cannot return it.
The many screen shot images have been kindled up pretty well. Looking forward to reading the rest of he book. Adam Foster. (...)
The book is written by Martin Donnelly, Mark Wallace and Tony McGuckin with a foreword by Philippe Riand. Although all authors declare that "none of us had been down the book-writing road before", the book is well written, even for readers that do not have english as the first language.
The main content starts with a high level overview about XPages. Even if you are already experienced in XPages development, it is worth reading this chapter. Start writing your first XPages application and follow the instructions step by step. The resulting application is a good starting point to put enhancements on top.
If you run into a problem regarding security settings on the server take a look at the very end of the book where you find the settings that have to be applied to your server.
IMHO, this information should be part of the "Getting Everything You Need" chapter.
The anatomy of an XPage is described in detail in chapter 4. Newbees to this field should read this chapter carefully. You will need this information if you want to dig deeper into XPages development later on.
Chapter 12 explains how to build your own user interface controls. This part of the book is not easy to understand for a non experienced developer, but if you follow the step by step instruction carefully, you will succeed.
All over the book you find tons of source code and numerous screenshots. It would be a good idea to make the source code available for download. But perhaps it is already available and I missed this part in the book.
The book also gives credit to all of the members of the Notes Community that started back in 8.5 with spreading the news about XPages in blogs, podcasts etc. Take these ressources as a supplement to the information you find in the book.
As a conclusion, I would recommend this book to every developer that wants to start with XPages development.
Having said that, I have started diving into the book and it's just what I needed to pull all this information together, really filling in the gaps! Although I'm only a short way into Chapter 4, Anatomy of an XPage, I'm really "getting" it more than I've been able to in the last 2 years. I've been developing in Notes since V2 and all skills have been self taught and by example. Yep, they seem to have it nailed down!
Kudos guys!
