Those of you who have already joined the BP210 community on lsonline will have seen that yesterday I uploaded the slide deck and sample application David Leedy and I used for our session at Lotusphere last week. The slides are also available on slideshare. For those of you who were at Lotusphere and haven’t yet […]

Now the dust has settled from Lotusphere, I would like to offer my thoughts in review. First – let’s get it over and done with – it was my first Lotusphere as a speaker. Hopefully it will not be my last. I certainly intend to submit abstracts new year. I had a great co-presenter in

I’m sure you’re aware of the tag line for this year’s Lotusphere, because you’re reading this, so you’re already getting social. I spoke a couple of days ago about my personal experiences, culminating in a very enjoyable and well-attended session yesterday. But I’m sure that will just be another small step down the road. I
"Get Social. Do Business" – More Case Studies Including The Yellowverse and XPages Read More »
The key topic of this year’s Lotusphere was “Get Social. Do Business”. The buzz phrase is Social Business. Outside of Lotusphere I wonder whether decision makers will understand what it means. Did I realise yesterday that the social business toolkit was relevant to me? Does the name tell me why I should use it? No. But Social Business

Recently I haven’t been blogging as much as I would like, mainly because I’ve had my head down working hard on my first bit of plug-in development. Considering that I’ve rarely used Eclipse in the past and only even written Java in an IT course over five years ago, it’s been a challenge, but one

For anyone who hasn’t seen it yet or just didn’t believe it had actually happened, a new episode of The XCast was posted yesterday afternoon. Tim Clark, David Leedy and I discuss what’s happened in the xsphere since May last year and any session at Lotusphere 2011 that has any oblique reference to XPages. Even

Like so many others, I was glad to read yesterday’s article by Ed Brill about the IBM whitepaper on Domino as a RAD platform. This had come to my attention shortly before Christmas and although the timing was unfortunate in some ways, nevertheless it did provide Ed with the great opportunity to highlight it at

A couple of months ago I asked whether people would be interested in custom controls for Dojo charting. I got lots of positive responses and people interested in helping out. However, then ILUG intervened and shortly afterwards one of my sessions for Lotusphere was accepted. On top of that I struggled to get my head
Charts and XPages: Thanks Julian Buss Read More »
I suspect I am far from alone in coming to XPages with no experience of Java development. I’d done lots of LotusScript, a reasonable amount of JavaScript and HTML, and even a bit of XML. But I knew virtually nothing about Java (apart from the basics of syntax and that Java classes have a “public

At ILUG I attended Paul Calhoun’s excellent session “Using XML and RDBMS Data Sources in XPages”. The XML element of the session built upon articles Paul had contributed to The XPages Blog (http://xpagesblog.com/xpages-blog/2009/8/6/using-xml-as-an-xpage-data-source.html) and the Lotus Notes and Domino Application Development Wiki (http://www-10.lotus.com/ldd/ddwiki.nsf/dx/Using_XML_as_an_XPage_Data_Source). Over the last few days I’ve been experimenting with various methods of
