No Comments on Notes in 9 will do SpeedGeeking

I recently found out that I’ve been chosen to participate in “SpeedGeeking”. This is a really fun event where there a a LOT of tables and speakers at the tables will present on a topic for 5 minutes. After 5 minutes the audience changes tables and the presentations start all over again. I was at this event last year and it as a LOT of fun. If you’re at Lotusphere please stop by. It’s loud and and quite roudy.

I’ll be presenting on XPages. With only 5 minutes available I consider it “Notes in 5”. I’m really looking forward to it.

Once all is said and done I’ll definately be screencasting this, so for those of you not at Lotusphere, you’ll get to see my attempt at speedgeeking very shortly.

No Comments on Episode – 010 – Getting Ready for Lotusphere 2010

With Lotusphere 2010 just around the corner I wanted to do my own version of a getting ready for the big event show. I culled some tips from some of the great blog resources out there like Andy Donaldson and Rocky Oliver. I asked a couple of other veterans, Tom Duff and Theo Heselman specifically for their best ideas, and finally I chimed in with a couple of my own.

Hope you like it.

P.S. This should be my last non-tech show. Once Lotusphere prep is over I’ll be back doing some technical tips in XPages and the Notes Client.

1 Comment on Episode – 008 – Tri-State LUG Wrap UP

In this show I talk about some happenings with Notes In 9, the recent user group meeting in New York, and I give some thanks to the people who made that all possible. Nothing too technical today, but don’t worry, more tips and tricks are on the way in the near future!

This show will be posted on YouTube – BUT you can now see the videos right in from the website. Just click on download or on the MOV icon and it should start playing in your browser at full resolution. Please let me know if you have any problems.

The final RSS isn’t ready yet, it will be soon. Once that’s set I’ll post it and then that will be the best method to subscribe and get the new shows.

Thanks for watching!

Notes in 9 Happenings

Hi!

I wanted to announce a couple of happenings for the screencast:

The first is that I finally have a domain dedicated to Notes in 9! This will be the best place to find updates on future shows. Shortly, I hope to be back on iTunes and will then add a button specific for iTunes subscriptions for those who prefer to get the shows that way. I’ll still be posting on YouTube of course, but would like to have these other avenues for your convenience.

Secondly I want to announce that I’ve joined Chris Miller and his Spiked Studio Productions, which is a new network for niche podcasts. I couldn’t be happier to be on board. Chris has already been instrumental in helping me get the new domain up and running and I can’t thank him enough!

What this means:

Affiliating with Spiked Studio Productions lets me do a couple of things. Chris is assisting me with a LOT of the admin work that has been bogging me down of late. This should allow me to get back to producing more shows, especially since the recent XPages webinar that I did for Lotus Education Online is over and the Tri-State LUG speaking engagement is drawing to a close.

Additionally, now that YouTube will not be my only outlet, I hope to, on occasion, produce some longer shows. Now that Domino Designer is free, there’s an opportunity for some new blood to start using Notes and I might do some “Extended Edition” shows for topics that need more time then 9 minutes.

As always, thanks so much for watching!

In this show I talk about XPages built in capability to easily add a Type Ahead to your field. I demo how to deal with the 64k Limit and also the potential pitfalls of Full vs. Partial Mode.
As I mentioned in the show, a big thanks to Mark Hughes who posted a great blog article here and also Paul Hannan and Maire Kehoe who are XPage XPerts from IBM!!

Also a big shoutout to my buddy Chris Toohey who actually beat me in blogging about this! Last night when I finished the show I uploaded it to YouTube and hit the sack. Chris Toohey doesn’t sleep, he just goes into power saving mode.

1 Comment on Episode – 006 – A Blueprint to XPages

If you’re a Notes Client person getting started in XPages/Web stuff, you’re going to need to learn CSS on top of other things. Blueprint allows you to place items on your page easily. I really like it.

UPDATE 9/21/2006: Note – Blueprint CSS is a dead project. Suggest you focus on Bootstrap these days.

In this edition of Notesin9 I talk a little more about Scoped Variables. In addition to that I give an example that is the XPage equivalent of a very common UI component for a Notes Client Developer:
A form with an Embedded View on it that uses Show single Category.
