From some feedback to yesterday’s post, that code works fine if all you want to do is create a new document. So, I’ve gone away and come up with some amendments and improvements. First of all, I’ve moved the New User button into the Page Heading control’s action facet. Again I use the Move to

In Part One I talked in generic terms about the differing approaches when developing for mobile browsers compared to desktop browsers. Screen sizes make dialog boxes for pickers less desirable than in desktop browsers. Connectivity concerns mean typeahead and partial refresh functionality could perform worse on mobile devices and impact the user experience. Smaller resolutions

Over the last week I’ve come across a couple of requests for some sort of typeahead or Name Picker or Value Picker for mobile. There was a question on Stack Overflow and another query came from an alternate discussion. I will outline my preferred option in my next post, but first I want to add

Next Thursday and Friday I will be speaking at BLUG 2012. This will be my third BLUG and it’s always a very enjoyable experience, with great speakers and content. I will be presenting two sessions: Ready, Set, Go! How IBM Lotus Domino XPages Became Mobile Eamon Muldoon and I will be presenting a session updated
One of my sessions for BLUG, The Eureka Moment: The JSF Knowledge You Need To Understand XPages, has led me to investigate XPages optimisation and partial refresh processing to an extent I haven’t in the past. Much of the evidence gained has been illuminating for me too and has given me an understanding which will

Earlier this week I picked up a tweet from Alan Hamilton about an IBM whitepaper about how to optimise performance of the Notes Client. Not surprisingly, the operating system has a big impact on the speed of Lotus Notes opening, but also hanging of the Notes Client (and presumably Domino Designer client). The whitepaper is
