XPages are the first new application design element for Domino in years and will change the way you think about Notes/Domino application design. TLCC, the leader in Notes and Domino training, is the first to offer a comprehensive course on XPages. Developing XPages using Domino Designer 8.5 takes a deep dive into XPage development. Learn the basic building blocks of XPages, from controls to events to the JavaScript editor. All the XPage controls are covered. The available programming languages for XPages along with the various supporting libraries including the new @Functions and the Domino Object Model are covered in detail. Discover how Cascading Style Sheets are fully implemented in XPages along with an all new design element called Themes. Another new design element, Custom Controls, allows controls to be easily re-used on multiple XPages (just like a subform). This course includes the changes in Domino Designer 8.5.1 including the support of XPages in the Notes client.

This course 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 and web services 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. No simulations or videos are used. 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.

Developing XPages using Domino Designer 8.5 is a complete and comprehensive course and not just a collection of sample exercises. You will gain a complete understanding of XPages and how this exciting technology can be used to enhance your new and existing Domino applications.

"The course is wonderful!!!  It covers information I had never come across in all the blogs and tutorials and help files.  And the way it was presented, with the demos and activities was perfect!" - Lenni Sauve, IBM Certified Advanced Application Developer, Mt. Royal University, Calgary
