NotesIn9 196: No Dependency Page Controllers

We’ve talked about using page controllers before on the show, but typically I’ve used an external library. Today I’ll show a way to get started with page controllers with no external dependency.
I consider my move to page controllers as one of the best things I’ve ever done as an XPages Developer. Now there is no excuse for you to not consider using page controllers in your XPages applications.

NotesIn9 is “Hiring”.

I’m looking to find someone to act as an “XPages Producer” for NotesIn9. This is a volunteer position.  This person would actively recruit and work with contributors of XPages related content.  This person does not have to produce their own demos but of course that interest and ability would be encouraged. Basically I’m looking for someone to do what I do for a typical “contributor” show :

Look for and try and encourage / recruit contributors.

Work with the contributor to make the best demo possible.

Coordinate delivery of videos from the contributor.

Wrap the demos up inside a little introduction section using a NotesIn9 themed template.

Export and deliver to me final videos for publishing.

Assist with updating XPages.TV / XPages MindMap.

 

If you feel you might be interested in this please drop me a note and let’s talk about it.

NotesIn9 Update and Thank You Pete Janzen!

Today will be the last time I talk about XPages at a live event.  As Jesse points out it’s fitting that this coincides with the last day at IBM for Pete Janzen.

Pete has been the champion for the developer for as long as I’ve known him.  He’s like Ghost Rider.  He’s lived in both worlds – the Light Side were you want want to get things done and make better products, and the Dark Side where your hands are tied by “questionable” management decisions and constraints.

Thank you for your all your effort Pete.  May your future find you forever in Light.

NotesIn9 at MWLug

Just a quick MWLug update.

My session “Hello and Welcome to NotesIn9” was moved from today to Friday at 11:30 in Ballroom D.  I hope to see you there.

Outside the session if you see me please say hello!  I love meeting and taking to people about XPages or anything else.

Also – I have a few NotesIn9 branded giveaways.  Collapsible water bags.  I have some with me and will have some at my session.

NotesIn9 192 : Intro to Graph Database in XPages

In this show IBM Champion and all around amazing developer Oliver Busse returns with an EPIC demonstration where he talks about using Graph Databases inside the XPages/Domino world.  I’m far from an expert on them but Graph Databases are what the “Big Boys” like Amazon, Twitter, LinkedIn, etc.. use to more effectively maintain data that relates to other data.  Now you can get started with this inside you’re familiar XPages environment.

This is definitely a show not to be missed!

Note: YouTube is still processing this video. It should be ready shortly.

Announcing the Unofficial MWLUG BBQ Event

On Tuesday at MWLug NotesIn9 will be sponsoring a small “BBQ” event which will be guest hosted by XPages Legend and frequent BBQ critique Paul Calhoun.  This will likely be around 11:30 – maybe a little bit earlier so if you plan on doing the official Alamo/Riverwalk tour that will likely conflict.

Basically I ordered a bunch of food from the famous Franklin BBQ.  Space is limited because I only got so much.  So if a bunch of people want to join then great – but it’ll be more of a BBQ “Tasting”. haha.  All are welcome though.

If interested just drop me an email and I’ll get you any details once I figure them out myself.

Thanks!
