The UKLUG conference is one of the largest Lotus gatherings in the UK where Lotus professionals can network to share experiences and best practices.
We4IT also takes part with the following sessions:
XPages: Practical Ideas for Converting Existing Notes Applications
This session looks at some of the things Matthew Fyleman has learned from taking an existing, complex Notes client application used by the Banking sector and converting it to a browser-based XPages application. The points will be illustrated with some 'live' examples.
The topics covered include:
Planning : Which applications to convert? Is there benefit in re-designing the application? Decide how much LS code should be re-written as Java/JavaScript Assessing the complexity of an application.
Implementing:
- Have a clear idea of L+F before you start - use themes, proprietary or hybrid?
- Get key structures in place first - standard format for views, forms, button bars etc and create custom controls for these.
- Have a toolkit of useful things both UI (e.g. picklists, name pickers etc) and script (e.g. retrieving field values safely, handling look-ups (DBLookup/DBColumn gotcha))
- Make use of resource bundles for config info.
- Make use of the extension library - no use re-inventing the wheel!
- Identify re-usable elements and implement these as custom controls - keep in mind other projects. De-coupling custom controls using parameters.
docLinkr: Mobilising Applications Without Coding
Developing applications for access on mobile devices - or redeveloping existing apps - is a time-consuming process. We4IT docLinkr offers a simple alternative allowing you to take an existing application and, within one hour (actually this can be as little as 15 minutes), make it available on any smart device. Without writing any code. At all.
Join this session to discover just how easy is it to get mobilised.
