Jesse Gallagher posted a thoughtful blog about the challenges for the way forward with XPages. It’s a challenge I’ve had a number of discussions around, many of which are ongoing. The reason there’s not a simple solution – throw whatever resources are required into XPages – is that it simply doesn’t make business sense. There …
One thing with a tight community like our is that good news spreads quickly. Yes, there are times when news should be kept quiet and it is. But when news spreads, it always spreads quickly.

Historically the word “Websphere” has often grated with Domino developers, because it seemed that Websphere was the preferred app dev environment over …

Over the last few days I’ve had the pleasure and honour to be at the CWP Factory Tour at HCL’s new offices near Boston, MA. Even before the event kicked off, those of us who arrived early had the opportunity to meet up with some of the team thanks to a dinner hosted by Uffe …
