Last week, when preparing for the XPages Mobile Controls session at BLUG, Eamon Muldoon introduced me to a useful tip when testing on iOS. The problem is that many browsers such as Firefox and Safari use, by default, webkit styling, so use Android stylesheets. But Safari has an option to change the user agent. The […]

A couple of weeks ago I got a review copy of XPages Portable Command Guide. Being eager, I had already bought the electronic version. First, a couple of points about the differing media. The electronic version is great for bookmarking and searching. Plus, because I always have my iPad with me, I always have PCG

Next Thursday and Friday I will be speaking at BLUG 2012. This will be my third BLUG and it’s always a very enjoyable experience, with great speakers and content. I will be presenting two sessions: Ready, Set, Go! How IBM Lotus Domino XPages Became Mobile Eamon Muldoon and I will be presenting a session updated
One of my sessions for BLUG, The Eureka Moment: The JSF Knowledge You Need To Understand XPages, has led me to investigate XPages optimisation and partial refresh processing to an extent I haven’t in the past.

As developers get more comfortable with XPages, one of the steps is to start to using the Compute on Page Load option instead of the Compute Dynamically option for Server-Side JavaScript. But there are times when that can’t be done. I encountered this last week and it took a chat with Jeremy Hodge for me

One of the benefits of XPages is the power of repeat controls to effectively perform ‘joins’, whether that is with nested repeat controls or merging data prior to displaying in a repeat control. When it comes to collections of documents I tend to favour NotesViewEntryCollections. This is both for performance (predominantly using getColumnValues().get) as well

Lotusphere is over for another year (and the perennial debate about the name also seems to have been put to bed – announcements have always said “Lotusphere 2013”). From the Domino standpoint it’s been another step on the road to the Vulcan vision and a reaffirmation of a new deployment model. We’ve seen in the

The second day of Lotusphere began with OpenSocial integration to generate embedded experiences. With Lotus Domino 8.5.4 Social Edition, embedded experiences are going to be a significant addition to the Domino developer’s toolkit through the second half of 2012. With OpenSocial and embedded experiences developers can add functionality into the mails they send. Whereas in
