In this show, NEW CONTRIBUTOR, Patrick Kwinten comes on to talk about using Grunt – a JavaScript Task Runner and font-awesome with XPages. Patrick is an excellent developer and has shared a lot of great content on his blog at : https://quintessens.wordpress.com
This show is also the first show from Oliver Busse, a new Video Producer for NotesIn9. I’m beyond excited to have his assistance in getting more content shared with the community.
This is the big one! The last demo of my presentation at MWLUG 2016. In this show I’ll demonstrate how you can use something called a “Bitmask” and combine it with some Java code and the Apache Poi project to allow the user to create a custom Excel spreadsheet. The user will be able to choose any column they want from the data provided and save it to Excel. Users like that kind of stuff.
In this show I show you how I typically go about converting a Domino Document to a pure Java Object.
In this show I’ll demo a little thing I do where I combine page controllers with a custom java object and the Bootstrap CSS Framework from the Extension Library to easily send useful alert messages back to the user.
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.
In this show I demonstrate how to take an existing PDF form, and use iText from inside XPages to populate fields on the form.
Who likes the built in XPages File Upload Control? Well not me at least. In this show I’ll demo how to use PLUpload to better upload multiple files to your XPages application.
In this show I’ll demo how you can add some code to your application to force a user to logout after a certain period of inactivity.
Thanks to Steve Zavocki for the original blog post that this show is based on.
In this show I demonstrate how I recently improved web pages that let a user scan barcodes with a blue tooth barcode scanner. Big thanks to Declan Lynch for the help on the Client Side JavaScript solution. This also takes advantage of the undocumented XSP.fireEvent() method.
A little more information about this technique can be found here : http://www.notesin9.com/2016/03/29/in-xpages-you-can-add-an-id-to-an-event-handler-and-call-it-from-csjs/
In this show IBM Champion Oliver Busse concludes his 3 part series on getting started with XPages inside IBM Bluemix.
