I’m loving the approach with DQL. Kudos to the team, there are some very good fundamental approaches. Will try to blog later to clarify — Paul Withers (@PaulSWithers) 22 November 2018 Earlier today I posted this tweet. It followed another update from John Curtis teasing more enhancements coming to DQL. If you’ve been following closely
It’s (hopefully) widely-known that one of the key influencers on Notes Client startup speed are the jvm settings in <notes>\framework\rcp\deploy\jvm.properties.

My takeaway
A couple of weeks ago I attended Social Connections 14 in Berlin. I flew in on the Tuesday morning and out again on Wednesday evening, so it was a flying visit as well as a rather tiring couple of days. I was fortunate enough to deliver two sessions there. Social Connections 14 – You Get

It’s great to see the buzz around Domino over the last two days, with the launch events at Frankfurt on October 9th and around the world October 10th. I was fortunate enough to be at the London event and it was a great turnout from customers. According to figures Andrew Manby gave about the Frankfurt

One of the announcements from HCL at ICON UK was that their partnership with IBM had expanded since the HCL Factory Tour to include work on additional products, one of which is Websphere. Historically the word “Websphere” has often grated with Domino developers, because it seemed that Websphere was the preferred app dev environment over
