At IBM Think I presented four sessions. Two were on The IBM Champion and Community Day on Sunday. One was titled “Social Zero to Community Hero” with Tony Holder and Alex Ivanov, who was also announced as an IBM Lifetime Champion that afternoon. This detailed what a Champion is and the different paths a champion […]

In the previous part I covered Node-RED. The announcement a few weeks ago of NodeJS integration with Domino will hopefully reduce resistance from customers for using the two together. In this part I’ll start covering XPages code triggered from the scheduled tasks – or external integration points – of Node-RED. Bear in mind that I’m

I was fortunate enough to have a number of discussions with various people from IBM and HCL while I was at IBM Think. Some of those were with people I’ve known for a while, like Jason Gary and Barry Rosen, while others were with newer contacts like John Paganetti, Andrew Manby and the (quite new)

There were a host of announcements at IBM Think, some of which I may have missed. But I’ll cover all the ones I did catch here. I will leave Domino app dev for a separate blog post covering everything announced about V10 to date as well as my thoughts about what they mean to all

Once an appropriate level of understanding of the lifecycle is gained, there’s a comfortable level of logic in how it works. With controller classes in Java and XPages that contain predominantly Expression Language and short SSJS calls to the

As others like Johnny Oldenburger have blogged, Notes 9.0.1 FP10 IF2 is out now. This fixes a number of Designer-related issues, including the problem with the Display panel in the Java debugger I encountered when I first installed. One point to be aware of is, as ever, to check <Notes>\framework\rcp\deploy\jvm.properties for the vmarg.Xmx and vmarg.Xms

Last week I had an email from Mat Newman passing on a query for a REST servlet plugin. The person was noting that when sending a tell http osgi ss command to the server, the plugin was showing as “<<LAZY>>” and only changed to “<<ACTIVE>>” after the first call, when the code in the Activator

Today’s webinar on Domino 10 brought a lot of announcements. I won’t cover the announcements about Notes Client here – we were teased about a slimmer client and auto-updating of that client, but I’m sure we’ll find out more at IBM Think. I’ve already blogged my thoughts about the Notes Client as well. There are
