Lotus Notes Domino application development best practices

• Someone wants a custom application created immediately to capture data. They're not concerned with working out the features now, but will tackle that later.
• A client wants a throwaway application now, instead of waiting for a more robust solution. However, that client later gets sticker shock and decides to make the best of what was built off the shelf.
• A Lotus Notes Domino project is sought out specifically for its well-developed application features.

In all cases, working best practices into your base template and design habits can help your application and Notes/Domino replication if your "throwaway" application is widely used in production for several years. After having to refit a number of applications that weren't expected to outlive the quarter they were built in, I've noticed some common attributes of applications brought into the shop for repairs, including poor performance, interface adjustments and application expansion needs. I will touch on these topics in this tutorial.
