Bill F posed a good question on StackOverflow about the issue of object.recycle and when to use it. It’s un understandable question and one I hit years ago after crashing a server looping through 20,000 documents in a search. I raised a PMR, got a response directing me to technotes on recycling in Java. Searching […]

Some time ago I wrote about how you have to build twice if you have Build Automatically switched off, then open an application in Designer and make a change – the first build was incremental. Just to revisit, I would always recommend having Build Automatically switched off unless you’re in an instance of Designer that

Today there was a question on StackOverflow about how to trigger an eventHandler of control A from control B. I knew I’d done it before, but couldn’t remember where and couldn’t find where I’d blogged on it. So here is the way I originally did it and the better way. The Padawan’s Way Once you

A few months ago Tim Tripcony blogged about a component’s binding property which was followed up with a NotesIn9 episode. On Tim’s blog, Jesse Gallagher asked if it had led to any cool app-structuring breakthroughs. While preparing some XPages training materials, I realised there was one cool use of a component’s binding property that is

Last week Jesse Gallagher blogged about using enums in a combo box. For those who are not familiar with enums, if you’ve started using Java it’s well worth reviewing the article where I covered them. Thankfully I was involved in a chat around that topic with Jesse and Nathan. I had previously written code to

Unless and until an organisation creates a budget for a dedicated social business delivery team, user adoption will wax and wane and eventually tail off. The delivery team is a group of people (roughly 1 for every 1000 employees) who work full time on the user engagement and sustained adoption challenges relating to the roll-out
Understand your culture in terms of collaboration and create a social business strategy that is in harmony with it. Simply making the technology available to employees is not enough; in fact it is a recipe for failure. 70 % of social business deployments are failing today due to the lack of a social business strategy.

Before we can discuss how organisations get their employees to meaningfully engage with a collaboration platform (user adoption), we need to briefly address the question of why collaborate at all? Fortunately we are in the middle of a perfect storm in terms of both organisational and consumer shift. The digital technology that we use to
