In this show I demonstrate how to build some XPages custom controls to make a Bootstrap ProgressBar and stacked ProgressBar.
I also mention Daniel Friedrich’s blog at http://xpagesandme.wordpress.com/. I highly recommend you check that out.
Category: Notes In 9
This is a different show today. I’m going to be speaking at MWLug at the end of August. In this show I’m going to do a little demo of what I intended to present at MWLug. I’m not going to tell you HOW to do it yet, you’ll need to come to see that. Or wait for it to hit a future NotesIn9.
In addition to the commercial, I’ve taken a small clip from my show 100 (which ran WAY too long). In this clip I give suggestions on how to get more involved in the XPages community and why you might want to. At the end I refute any excuses that you might have.
Hope you like the show.

In this show IBM Champion and everyone’s second favorite Doctor returns to NotesIn9. That’s right, Dr. Marky Roden is in the house with a GREAT tip on ways to speed up Domino Designer by using Design Definition to better control your database resources.
We last saw the good Doctor back on September 13th, 2012, Episode 74, talking about using jQuery. Don’t miss todays demo. You never know if he’ll disappear for another 684 days again.

Also yesterday I mentioned that this month is the 5 year anniversary of NotesIn9. I just want to thank everyone for all the nice messages, comments, and even a blog post. It means a lot and is very appreciated!
Thank You!
UPDATE: The Audio for Marky’s demo isn’t great. I’m pretty sure I messed that up in the processing of the video.
Today we get another great contributor in the form of Oliver Busse. His website is oliverbusse.com. He’s going to do a really neat demo of how to intergrate XPages with Pushover.net to send messages to a phone that has the PushOver App installed.
I think that it’s always nice to see how to mix XPages with other services.
On July 11, 2009 I uploaded the first ever NotesIn9 to YouTube. The topic was this brand new concept in XPages called “Repeat Controls”.
5 years and 260,000ish downloads later and with the help if MANY people I’ve published 147 episodes so far and WILL hit 150 this week, and maybe even more.
Not too shabby for a little show based mostly on XPages I think.
As always I want to thank all the contributors to the show. Without them I could never have gotten this far.
Thanks for all those who’ve watched NotesIn9. I really hope it’s been a valuable resource.
P.S. One of these days I’ll put a reminder so I remember the anniversary on the actual day. I always forget. haha
In this show Brad Balassaitis returns to Ni9 to give us some great instruction on how to start using the “dGrowl” project with our XPages applications. This is a tool that lets you popup messages back to the user. It’s a somewhat common effect and I really really like it. Actually before I got this demo from him I was attempting to do something similar inside Bootstrap4XPages and now I might try and switch to dGrowl for the additional features.
In addition to using dGrowl there’s great information on installing the dojo plugin that could apply to adding other plugins to your applications as well.
UPDATE: Brad’s made a blog post on enhancing this even further.

UPDATE 2:
Here are some additional posts on getting this type of effect in XPages

In this show, we get another great new contributor joining the NotesIn9 family. Please welcome Shean P McManus to the show. His blog is: http://spmcmanus.net I’m really excited to get Shean on as he gives us a great demo on using Bootstrap for an XPages mobile focused application.
Shean manually added Bootstrap to his application. Another option is to use a great project on OpenNTF to do this for you via an update site.

In the beginning of the show I mentioned a, hopefully, future contributor. Greg Reeder. Check out his blog here: http://reederprogramming.com/ He’s starting a video series that’s basically a “Build an XPages app meets Intro to Java”. The first video is here: http://XPag.es/?1DEE I highly recommend you check that series out.
P.S. Sorry it’s been a while between shows. I have several more in the queue so stay tuned!!
This is the last show I have from Tim Tripcony. This is probably the simpliest demo he’s done for Ni9 but no less important. It’s a demo of a way to return a message to a user based on an action.
Tim actually gave me this demo maybe a year ago and I just totally forgot about it and I assume he then did as well. While I hate the thought of forgetting about it I think it makes this show a little special. I was so happy to discover it when I went through our shared dropbox.

A conversation with my Son
When I did the Java vs. JavaScript throw down I included my son in the video for comedic effect.
He got a good response so I thought I’d give you a snippet of a conversation from this weekend.
Me: “Tell the girls we are having popcorn and ice cream for dinner”
Matt: “that is the stupidest idea I’ve ever heard.”
Me: “you think it’s a stupid idea?”
Matt: “I mean, not literally..I think it’s a great idea”
That’s how he rolls… haha
In this show Tim Tripcony explains that while we’ve typically been binding to a value all this time, it’s possible to bind to a component inside your XPages Development.
This show was originally published elsewhere and I basically grabbed this to try and improve the visibility and get Tim’s information as much exposure as possible.
I have 2 new unpublished videos from Tim coming next.
