Late yesterday Ed Brill announced the new IBM offering, the IBM XWork Server. It’s been in the planning for a long time now and has been, on the whole, well received by the community. There’s a lot of discussion about what it is and what it is not. But the one thing people agree is

A couple of weeks ago I received an email from IBM Press about Sandy Carter’s new book ‘Get Bold‘. Shortly afterwards, my copy arrived. I’m not one for reading many IT books – most of my library comprises fiction, often based in the Classical world. But I was interested to get a bit more of

Over the weekend I uploaded a new release of the XPages Help Application to OpenNTF (now available under the short URL http://xhelp.openntf.org. As well as a few minor changes, the main enhancement was a change to use the dijit.Tree Dojo widget for all navigation throughout the application. This may seem a relatively small piece of
