The conference, on Thursday and Friday
and is jam packed with Administration and Development sessions.
If you're interested in getting up to
speed on XPages, this is the place to be!
I'm doing 2 sessions:
Introduction to XPages You've heard about XPages now come and
see how easy it is to get started. Leave behind your Navigators and Outlines
and come see the X Side of the world. Don't forget to pack your Domino
Objects and @Formulas because you can still use them to create applications
that run on both the Web and the Notes Client.
XPages: Beyond the Introduction You've seen XPages, but how do you best
use it? Come to this session to how to integrate the BluePrint CSS FrameWork
to help speed up your application development. See how to best use Custom
Controls to control now only your layout but also your content. Learn some
other tricks of the trade to make your applications POP.
In the first session I assume you know
nothing about XPages and we go from there. In the second session I attempt
to go further and help you establish a comfort zone with how XPages works,
how you do certain things with it, and how you move around designer.
In addition to my stuff there's going
to be a hands on workshop that looks really interesting. I highly
recommend stopping by for this if you want to start playing with XPages
during the event.
XPages Workshop: Building a Simple
Application - Michael McGarel and Roy Rumaner In this unique DIY ("develop it
yourself") workshop, new XPages developers can come in and build an
XPages application on their own laptops. Developers work at their own pace
as they follow the step-by-step instructions (similar to the Lotusphere
labs). Mike and Roy are the "proctors," available for answering
questions and providing hints. A true community learning experience!
Richard bring to the table information
that I wish I had when I was first starting out. I'll be looking forward
to this one to see what I know or have missed.
Starting XPages? Avoid These 10 XPages
Gotchas - Richard Sharpe Starting with a *very* brief intro to
how XPages work (so no experience neccessary) I'll be covering the pitfalls
that have cost Notes developers several hours in investigation before finding
the correct solution. So whether it's interpreting what Designer tells
you to what it actually means; interpreting what specific errors (or where
no errors are apparent but the XPage doesn't work); or why some Javascript
only works in certain contexts, I'll be looking at issues that cause beginners
pain, why they occur, how to recognize them and resolve them.
I'll be talking a little about Server
Side JavaScript in my sessions. The first thing I'll say is that
it's really not that scary. The second thing I'll say is to go to
Scott Good's session. I know I'll be there.
What You Need to Know to Get Started
with Server-Side JavaScript - Scott Good Underneath the skin, most XPages applications
make extensive use of Server-Side JavaScript (SSJS), a hybrid of conventional
JavaScript, @Formulas and LotusScript specific to the Domino platform.
Although confusing at first, seasoned Notes developers with a basic understanding
of JavaScript quickly find themselves able to use SSJS to do things in
a fraction of the time needed to do them using conventional web development
techniques. In this session you will get an overview of SSJS, how it is
used in XPages, and some of the key components you'll need to be familiar
with to work easily and effectively in this new language.
If you ever wanted to meet someone from
the future, then come and meet Tim Tripcony and find out what's possible
if you really want to push XPages to the limits. And who knows, maybe
he'll even share the formula for transparent aluminum if we're lucky.
XPages: The Evolution of Possible
- Tim Tripcony XPages do not just provide a new way
of developing the same Notes/Domino applications we always have; instead,
they unlock a whole new realm of possibility, allowing us to include features
in our applications that were previously considered difficult... if not
impossible. In this session we will explore five pillars of functionality
that will not merely make your application interfaces appear more modern
- they will instantly transform how you, your users, and your organization
as a whole view the Lotus Notes and Domino platform.
Not an XPages session itself, but you're
not going far in XPages without a good understanding of some core web technologies.
As a Notes Client Developer I've not used a ton of web stuff so I'm
really looking forward to Brandt's session.
Web Technologies Every Domino Developer
Should Know - Brandt Fundak XPages in Notes/Domino 8.5 has fundamentally
changed how we should look at Domino development. For Domino developers
who do not have experience with Web 2.0 technologies however, these changes
can be daunting and can make some of the under-the-hood development in
XPages seem overwhelming. This presentation serves as an icebreaker for
Domino developers who want to learn about Web 2.0, but find the vast ocean
of information available overwhelming. Topics will include, XML, XML namespaces,
JavaScript, CSS and AJAX.
Hope to see a lot of people there! If
you see me please say hello!
Are you smarter then an 5th grade XPager?
Thu, Jan 27th 2011 11:30a David Leedy Here's a neat new idea that's coming to
a Lotusphere BOF near you!!!
Rather then having a tradition discussion
format, let's create an XPages Game Show. Complete with questions
and PRIZES!!!

Im laughing at the Superior Cloud
Thu, Dec 9th 2010 10:26a David Leedy As I type this I'm on an AirTran plane
heading home from Atlanta. I splurged and upgraded myself to Business
class so I could do some actual work. (Don't worry John. Won't
try and expense that. haha)
Currently AirTran has free in flight
wifi sponsored by Google Chrome. Ok that's fun, I'll admit it. So
I fired it up as did 5 others in business class and we all were just surfing
away....

I think interest in XPages is growing.
Tue, Nov 30th 2010 4:46p David Leedy November has turned into another record
breaking month for NotesIn9. I want to once again thank everybody
for watching. I hope the videos continue to be of value. I
especially want to thank Jeremy Hodge for contributing his Java Series
and also my friends who help me when I get stuck and whose advice typically
gets turned into new shows.
I know my little site is NOT an accurate
measurement of actual interest in XPages technologies. But it's at
least an anecdotal measurement I th [read] Keywords: xpages java

Lotusphere Speaking
Sun, Nov 21st 2010 2:03p David Leedy We're coming up to the time where we're
are going to find out who is selected to speak at Lotusphere and who is
not.
Last year I had the privilege of speaking
at Lotusphere with Declan Lynch on my favorite topic, XPages. I also
got to present at SpeedGeeking. I had a lot of fun, so naturally
I submitted a couple of sessions to speak again. Whether I will or not
I have no idea. XPages is the hot topic this year, so who knows how
I'll stack up from the Lotusphere "Powers that [read] Keywords: lotus

Lotus Community
Mon, Nov 15th 2010 2:42p David Leedy One of the neat things about the Lotus
Community is that there are these monthly Web Meetings that take place
on a Tuesday every month.
These meetings are put on by Joyce Davis
of IBM/Lotus. She leads the "Technical Information and Education Community".
How cool is that for a job? Especially in the Social and collaborative
world of today? Basically it seems to be the job of her team to not
only create information to help us do our jobs, but also engage us as partners

XPages Documentation Improvements
Tue, Nov 9th 2010 8:05a David Leedy Just about anybody who has used XPages
has probably at some point or another tried to use the documentation
and found it.... let's just say "lacking".
Well now's the time to do something
positive to try and improve it. It looks like THIS WEEK there's a
discussion about this over at LotusUserGroup.org.
Please take some time and head here to discuss
ways to improve the XPages documentation.
I figure it's like voting, if you don't
take time to try and improve it, t [read] Keywords: xpages lotususergroup.org

NotesIn9 Celebrates best month ever!
Wed, Oct 27th 2010 9:10p David Leedy I don't focus too much on stats, but even
I couldn't miss the fact that downloads of the NotesIn9 videos are
going through the roof. I was always really happy with the response,
but as it stands now we're very close to doubling my previous best month
ever way back in February 2010.
I'm seeing a substantial increase in
the older shows, especially the XPages episodes are reaching new monthly
highs, but I'm really surprised how many downloads I'm seeing on the 3

How I make ScreenCasts for NotesIn9
Tue, Oct 26th 2010 8:41a David Leedy With IBM's launch of their VideoFest event
today I thought I'd take a couple of minutes to describe my process of
creating the NotesIn9 screencasts in case
that might help anyone.
Keep in mind that I like to add slides
to my screencasts and attempt to keep the same feel that a Lotusphere session
might have. Slides aren't a requirement for VideoFest and there are
a lot of great videos out there that don't have slides.
I've found that the key to getting the
best quality is t [read] Keywords: domino

Announcing - XPages.TV
Sun, Oct 17th 2010 8:57p David Leedy This Friday on the This Week in
Lotus podcast I announced the creation of a new website for
all to use.
XPages.TV
My intention for this site is to be
the home of not just the NotesIn9 shows about XPages topics, but that
is will contain links to any other videos about XPages on the net. One
of the problems with NotesIn9 in it's current form, is that older shows
are still relevant, but might not be easy to find due to the date driven
nature of a podcast.
So my intention w [read] Keywords: lotus

XPages Video Collection
Wed, Oct 13th 2010 10:15p David Leedy I've been trying to clean up a couple of
things inside the NotesIn9 Studios. I'm still remastering old shows
to make them iPad and iPhone4 compatible and looking for improvements to
my backend workflow which is WAY more painful then it should be. doh!
Anyway, I while I was at it I thought
I'd post an updated list of all the NotesIn9 shows that are related specifically
to XPages.
