A little over a year ago I went on an XPages course. The power of XPages to develop a scalable, flexible solution was obvious. Ok, one of my colleagues will admit that I wasn’t convinced after day one of the course. I was working on upgrading an existing web application. But after day two I

XPages has received a lot of press over the last two years and at Intec we’ve already completed a number of projects using XPages, either as components of the application or the whole application.
