Anyone who has attended Tim Tripcony’s inspirational session on taking themes to the next level will never develop their XPages applications in the same way ever again. I was fortunate enough to attend it at BLUG and UKLUG, and took the opportunity to put the learning into practice in the XPages Help Application. So when […]

Last week Chris Connor and I presented at UKLUG on XPages and Java. After some experience of XPages development I’ve been using Java objects in Server-Side JavaScript for some time and have recently branched out into using Java managed beans and other code in XPages Help Application on OpenNTF.

Once upon a time there was a boy called Jack. We all know the story of how he swapped a cow for three magic beans, how his mother threw the beans out of the window and a beanstalk grew. And everyone knows how Jack climbed up the beanstalk “to bravely rid the world of a
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.

The last two days have been filled with more Lotus and XPages goodness at BLUG in Antwerp. As last year, BLUG is a great conference with a wonderful assemblage of speakers, expertly kept in order by Theo. Yesterday I presented “XPages: Enter The Dojo”, a one-man version of the session I delivered with David Leedy

Thanks to a tweet from Per Henrik Lausten I was alerted to the release of Dojo 1.6. There are quite a few big changes most notably use of “dojo-data-type” for widgets. This is a huge change but one which has been made to fit in with HTML5 standards. I haven’t followed the discussions in depth
While at EntwicklerCamp a couple of weeks ago I had the opportunity to share a couple of usability enhancements which seem to have slipped under the radar of some developers. The first is a useful resource for developers using XPages. As many will know, SVN is possible within Domino Designer now and from all the
