Yesterday Richard Jefts published an update on the acquisition, specifically relating to cloud. Before talking about the content, I want to comment on the approach HCL have taken.

LotusScript and The “Static” Keyword
By Paul Withers | | 2 Comments
Moving from language to language, I’m constantly re-evaluating how coding improvements can be made to make the applications I work with more pleasurable and the code I write smarter.

Domino App Dev Pack: Understanding Scopes
By Paul Withers | | 3 Comments
One of the aspects of the app dev pack yet to fully coalesce is the concept of scopes. But I think it will be key to the future, as an app dev and admin tool. It’s certainly something that will not be familiar to those who have never stepped beyond Domino. First off, if all …
