2. New TLCC Course for Notes and Domino 9 - XPages Development 1

XPages Development 1 for Notes and Domino 9 takes a deep dive into XPages, the revolutionary way to transform your Notes applications to modern Web 2.0 web and mobile applications. Learn the basic building blocks of XPages, from controls to coding events with the JavaScript editor. The available programming languages for XPages along with the various supporting libraries including the ported @Functions and the Domino Object Model are covered in detail. Discover how Cascading Style Sheets and Themes can be used to apply styles to your XPages and across all your applications. Another powerful design element, Custom Controls, allows controls to be easily re-used on multiple XPages (similar to a subform but much more powerful). This course also covers the use of XPages in the Notes client.

This course also covers advanced techniques such as:
  • Combine a view and a document on one page with complete edit capabilities
  • Combine multiple documents or multiple views on a page
  • Create dynamic tables with repeat controls
  • Join data from different views and databases into one view
  • Filter views to show only certain categories or the results of a full-text search
  • Integrate Java in XPages
  • Use the built-in AJAX functionality to enable type ahead and partial page refresh
  • Display a responses-only column so it appears just like the Notes client
  • Enable Authors and Readers fields
This distance learning course, like all TLCC courses, includes many demonstrations and activities you will do "live" in Domino Designer. You will get hands-on experience building XPages while learning at your own pace in your own home and/or office. A Domino server is not required and the course will install on your local system. Need help? An expert TLCC instructor is a click away via an integrated course discussion database.

Mike and Paul will compare and contrast commonly requested features using XPages and classical Notes/Domino techniques. You'll see how much smarter and faster XPages is while providing the modern functionality that your users desire. Look back at the past to see your future!

6. IBM Interim Fix for all Notes Mail clients

IBM has released an interim fix for Notes 8.5.3 and 9.0. This fix is for a potential security issue that could allow malicious code to run in emails that use Java applets or JavaScript tags. The fix simply sets these preferences below in the notes.ini file (or they can be turned off in the Notes preferences) and does not change any run-time Notes code. A policy can also be created to turn these settings off for all of your Notes users.


To learn more about this potential issue go to:

Kathy Brown will be presenting a session on Twitter Bootstrap, Fact, Fiction, and or Myth on May 14th at 6:00 P.M. at the IBM Innovation Center in Waltham, MA.
