Hi,
I have a background as a Lotus Notes Administrator and I want to get into
LotusScript.

Does anyone know if LotusScript is more similar to VB6 or VB.net.
I want to go on a course for one of these to improve my LotusScript, which
is apparantly very similar to VB. ( There is a lack of adequate courses on
LotusScript) .....As you can see however, i am confused about the differences
between the VB6 and VB.net.

thank you

vb6 in my opinion. I have recent experience with vb6 and vbnet, but my
lotus experience is over 6 years old.

AMercer,
would you say that getting some coding skills in vb6 would be helpful in
improving my lotusscript?
I am a programming beginner, aware of programming principles but lacking in
practise. I have not found any decent lotusscript programming books for
beginners. My level is too low for the currently available books on the
subject, hence why i am considering a vb6 course.

what do you think?

cheers,

Yes, but getting coding skills in vb.net would do the same. The underlying
language (of lotus script, vb6 and vb.net) is the same. The problem is which
kind of course (or book) will better help you meet your lotus script needs.
I think you will get more lotus punch per dollar or hour with vb6.

I would urge you to do two things. (1) Find out lotus's opinion. If they
have .net plans, then .net is the way to go, but absent this, i urge vb6.
(2) Try wading through a beginner book first. Search these newsgroups for
some reccomendations.

Thanks AMercer,
your advice has been valuable to me.
