As promised, and possibly the fastest I’ve ever put up slides after an event, here are my slides from my session at MWLUG 2017! MWLUG2017-MakingTheShift My session was about developers making the shift from Notes/Domino and XPages developers to modern web developers, using Angular and Node as the example.

I was recently working on a project where my code was injecting XPage elements onto the page at runtime. To do that, you need to know a lot of syntax. Syntax that isn’t in the help file, or blogged about, or easily findable. Sure, there’s this, but that isn’t exactly reader-friendly, nor are there examples of how to use the elements.

I recently downloaded Ext JS 5 to add to my XPages applications. La dee da, create new application, download Ext JS 5, import into application, do some stuff, close Designer, re-open Designer, attempt to re-open my app, and BOOM. Now I can’t re-open my application. Ext JS5 has a lot of elements straight out of the box.

10 Lines or Less; Interesting Things You Can Do In Java With Minimal Code: Demo App and Slides. Julian Robichaux and I presented “10 Lines or Less: Interesting Things You Can Do With Java” at IBM ConnectED this January. As promised (if not a bit delayed), here is the sample app, and a link to the slides.

I recently ran across this article, http://lab.abhinayrathore.com/jquery-standards/ . As is slightly obvious from the title, the post is about jQuery Coding Standards and Best Practices.
