Last week I was interviewed by Lisa Duke for Get Social, Do Business where I talked about what social means to me, why I think the Domino and Lotus community is so social. To some extent the episode was prompted by my posts at Lotusphere earlier this year – “Why Get Social Do Business Makes Sense” and “Get Social. […]

The XPages Help Application for OpenNTF was my first attempt at using Java beans in XPages. I expected some challenges and wasn’t disappointed. I’ve already blogged about one of the most challenging, that some properties of Domino objects are still available even after the object has been recycled. Another I came across was when refreshing

One of the frustrating things about a clean install of DDE or Eclipse is trying to remember what settings you had and where to set them. For example, on a laptop I had when I opened a Custom Control, the Custom Controls section in the Applications pane was expanded; when I opened a view, the

Next week, along with a host of other great speakers and enthusiastic attendees, I will be attending UKLUG in Manchester. This promises to be a remarkable event, if for no other reason but that forecasts say it won’t be raining all the time. (If you haven’t heard the song, take a look at the lyrics

Almost a year ago I wrote a whitepaper called “Maximising the Benefits of Lotus Domino 8.5.x with XPages“. This was an open discussion of the pros and cons of XPages, based on Domino 8.5.1. I have updated the whitepaper to take into account the significant enhancements in XPages in 8.5.2 and a year’s more experience

One of the great things about XPages is that you can extend your skill-set as you become more confident. You can build a powerful application without needing to write your own stylesheet or use a theme or use Java. But as and when you want to push the boundaries of your knowledge further, you can
