Was XPages a waste of time? 8 Jun 2020 9:45 AM (4 years ago)
I was asked recently by a long-time Notes/Domino developer a rather difficult question: was the investment in learning XPages a waste of time? I thought I'd share my thoughts here, in case anyone has similar thoughts/concerns or cares to hear what I think on the subject.

Web Storage Introduction for the Notes Domino Developer 15 Apr 2020 6:30 AM (4 years ago)
With support as far back as Internet Explorer 8, it's a mystery why using Web Storage hasn't become a standard practice for IBM Notes Domino application developers. Perhaps it's an unfamiliarity with the browser-based persistent storage solution or - for those of you familiar with the name - stringValue architecture - you might not consider the direct correlation with the methods most XPages developers use daily. Either way, after this article you'll fully understand what Web Storage is and how you can use it in your own development efforts.
A few thoughts... 13 Apr 2020 10:30 AM (5 years ago)

Thoughts on Foundation, Bootstrap, and UI frameworks in general 15 Jan 2018 6:30 AM (7 years ago)
Over the last three years, I've used Bootstrap almost exclusively in my day-to-day application development work. I'm using Bootstrap not because I think it's better per se, but because I think it's easier.

As a multi-platform developer, I'm always on the lookout for new tools to help me get the job done. A solid and extendable IDE (or Integrated Developer Environment) can mean the difference between feeling empowered by your platform or feeling like you're l33t hacking just to get something functional deployed.
Using the NotesDatabase Icon in your IBM Domino XPages Applications 1 Apr 2016 6:00 AM (9 years ago)
With the move to more web browser client use, notesDatabase icons began to play a far less important role in the application development cycle. They were often perceived as taking up valuable screen real estate and served no functional purpose, and - today - have about the same adoption rate of placing your company logo at the top of Every. Single. Application. in your organization. ... and then we started creating Mobile versions of our applications for use on smartphones and tablets

Developer Hardware Everyday Carry (EDC) 21 Dec 2015 8:30 AM (9 years ago)
For those of you not familiar with EDC, or Everyday Carry, the term refers to the various items - from wallets to weapons and more - that for one reason or another you keep on yourself or in your pockets... daily. Instead of showing you the contents of my pockets, I thought that I would share with you the hardware and software that I use every day. Perhaps you'll see something that will become a part of your personal 'Development EDC'!

The try, catch, finally syntax is both something that I use every day, and something that I think most Notes Developers may not be familiar with when they make the transition to Web Developers. For those of you unfamiliar with the syntax, here's a brief breakdown via code examples...
Thoughts on Future-Proofing NotesData for Application Development 15 Apr 2015 9:30 AM (10 years ago)
When we talk about Future-proofing our applications, data architecture and the realization that storing the purest data possible (eg., not storing Common Names, not including UI content mixed with our notesData, etc.) is just as critical to project success as is maintainable user interface and user experience designs.
5 Common Missteps in Developer Learning 31 Mar 2015 8:15 AM (10 years ago)
Learning should be an adventure into undiscovered country, not a source of frustration, resentment, and pain. There are common mistakes made time and again by even the most seasoned and well-disciplined developers. Whether it's a new feature, a new language, or an entirely new application platform, here are five - thankfully avoidable - missteps in developer learning.
First Impressions: Appcelerator Titanium Studio 2 Mar 2015 7:45 AM (10 years ago)
One of my IBM Notes Domino customers who is looking to create native versions of their Domino-based application for BlackBerry, Android, and iOS asked me to look into using Appcelerator Titanium Studio. Always interested in adding a new (to me) solution to my arsenal, I went to appcelerator.com/titanium/ and downloaded the free Eclipsed-based IDE.
Get Your House In Order (or I'm Not Attending ConnectED 2015... And Why That's Not a Bad Thing) 21 Jan 2015 2:30 PM (10 years ago)
I have attended the conference - formerly known as Lotusphere - only 4 times in my ~14 years working with IBM Notes Domino and other IBM Collaborative technologies. Thus, it's not like the whole place will shut down if I don't show up - or perhaps more accurately, my lack of attendance has absolutely no impact on the conference. It doesn't speak to the life of the platforms, the direction of the vendor, or my personal commitment to the technology. Nor should it, quite frankly...
IBM Garage - What Could Have Been... 14 Jan 2015 7:00 AM (10 years ago)
Last month, I had a decision to make: to keep a domain that I wasn't using, or to renew it in hopes that I would - some day - actually use it for the initial intended purpose. I let the domain expire, and with it my hopes for pulling something off that I thought would be one of the most interesting community efforts for any given vendor / platform / technology: IBM Garage (ibmgarage.com)

4 Ways to Improve Your Enterprise Business Applications 8 Jan 2015 8:30 AM (10 years ago)
Not just for IBM Domino developers, learn how you can apply these 4 mission critical tactics for improving for corporate / enterprise business application development practices.
The Role of the Corporate Developer 5 Jan 2015 11:30 AM (10 years ago)
By Chris Toohey: Before we get started, let's define the "corporate developer". A "corporate developer" is an employee of the company's IT department who is tasked with individual assignments for various business units. They code, design, deploy, and maintain applications (and most often, the application platforms) that are used throughout the organization. They are also often forced to concede best practices and established development standards for the constant "the VP of Finance needs an Excel export of the [data from their application] from this past year to date" scenarios. I submit that there are three "corporate developer" archetypes, and I urge you to be honest with yourself about which one best fits you today and make a decision about which of these you actually want to both personally and professionally identify you... because - and you'll have to trust me on this - the decision makers in your organization will identify you in exactly this way.

Responsive Design vs. Task-Oriented UX Design 7 Aug 2014 4:30 AM (10 years ago)
Responsive design is all the rage these days, but most folks don't really know what it means. Consequently, when they ask a design firm to build a responsive website, they end up with what they asked for, but not what they really need.

IBM Connect Showcase Booths, and what makes a good demo? 10 Dec 2013 8:32 AM (11 years ago)
It's a question that I've been wondering since the shift from Lotusphere (an event which was highly-technical developer and administration focused) to Connect (more management and enterprise social strategy focused)... and even moreso that I'm attending this year.

Mastering CSS will enable you (browser-willing) to completely control the user interface and user experience of your applications. In this article, we'll cover CSS Selectors and Media Types... but let's start first with a fundamental review of CSS, exactly what CSS is doing in a browser, and how CSS works with HTML and JavaScript via frameworks.

Using chardin.js JavaScript Library For Rich UI Information Overlays in IBM XPages 27 Feb 2013 8:20 AM (12 years ago)
Part of my gamification methodology is to create as interactive of a user interface as possible to deliver an adaptive user experience to the customer. This helps with onboarding and educating a user to a new process or new business logic without the need to bring them into a classroom or createformal training. Taking that Microsoft Word-based Form and modernizing the process by creating an web and mobile browser accessible application to handle the workflow? With a properly-designed user interface and well-crafted user experience, you'll be able to roll out the new application without the deployment pangs from the users.

LinkedIn dominoGuru.com Products and Services 6 Nov 2012 7:06 AM (12 years ago)
LinkedIn released Company Profiles, and now you have the ability to add Products and Services to those profiles. As I list Author n Webmaster as my current position on LinkedIn -- a job that I've had, as of this month, for 10 years!-- I would miss a great opportunity to gain exposure for both my $5 apps, but also for independent app writers that leverage the IBM Lotus Notes and Domino platform.
Multiple NotesDatabases for Function-specific IBM XPages Application User Interfaces 24 Oct 2012 6:27 AM (12 years ago)
I'm working on a project which requires an XPages-based CMS for managing external website content. The UI for this CMS is written using core and extension library controls, and thus uses the OneUIv2.1 theme. The external website itself uses a completely custom theme that disables all Dojo libraries and instead loads in Twitter Bootstrap and JQuery to deliver a Responsive Web Design user experience.
