This topic returns quite often in this forum. You should do a search, I'm sure you'll find something interesting to help you.

Meanwhile, check out this thread for starters : thread245-945504. You can also take a look at the FAQ section in the Lotus: NotesDesigner forum.

Next, read the data in your Designer Help database. It is a good reference, even if it sometimes lacks in-depth data (especially the examples).
Third, if you have already done programming in Access, SQL, or any relational database language, FORGET ABOUT IT. Notes is NOT relational, it is a document-centric storage paradigm. A Notes database contains data in records, and objects to allow retrieval of records and their manipulation (design objects). Whatever code is included in the design objects, whatever functionality is implemented by Notes or by developers, the basic information set is the record, also called "document". There is no relation from the document to any other, the document is the only thing that counts.
Not to say that a document cannot be linked to another. That is quite false obviously. Notes provides parent/child relationships by default, and you can implement many other kinds with a bit of code. But all these relations are based on additional functionality that the document itself does not need. That is what you must understand.
