In this show, Keith Stickland, a great new contributor, comes on with an awesome demo on how to add newer Dojo features to an XPages Mobile Controls application. He’ll show you how to create a fixed bottom tab bar – something that can’t be done with just the Mobile controls themselves.
There’s been a bunch of new NotesIn9 shows recently with more on the way. I’m really close to getting through my contributor backlog. I even have a several of my own shows I’d like to do.
Since there’s been these new shows I took a couple of minutes to update the Mind Map that should hopefully have links to all of them. The goal is to make things easier to find.
I hope this is a helpful means of finding other shows and getting into XPages. I’ve not really spent much time on the organization of this map but if anyone has any suggestions, or if there are any problems with any of the links please let me know.

In this show Brad Balassaitis comes back on with a show on how to customize the Data View control. This is the 2nd video that Brad’s contributed on this control. Part 1 is at http://notesin9.com/index.php/2013/06/05/notesin9-115-xpages-data-view-control-part-1-implementation.
This show also has a lot of great detail on how Facets/Editable areas work. He also shows you how to inspect elements on the XPage. Really great stuff in this show.
Do NOT miss this show!
In this episode Graham Acres comes back on to talk about getting started with Mobile Development with XPages Mobile Controls.
I’ve had some other getting started with mobile shows on NotesIn9, and even though they might seem similar on the surface, each contributor really does bring a different perspective and focus. Graham does a great job with his presentation and I hope you like it.
I’m starting to hear form potential contributors that it’s getting harder to find a topic that hasn’t been covered. My response is always “So what? Cover it again with yo’re own spin”. It will be different.
This show also contains a short public service annoucement of two worthwhile causes.
Here are links for Graham’s cause:
And here’s a link for Troy Reimers son’s site.
NotesIn9 is a free service. So far it’s produced 119 shows, from 30 DIFFERENT contributors, for over 34 hours of content. There are some not insignificant costs involved and I fund this myself. I don’t have advertisers or sponsors (yet) and I don’t ask for donations (yet). So all I am asking at this time, is if NotesIn9 has provided value to you, then please consider a donation to either of these 2 community causes, or some other worthwile organization.
Thanks for your consideration.
In this show John Jardin comes back on with an interesting demo on how to Sign a nsf AS THE SERVER from an XPage. John will create a very small custom Java Class that he uses as a Managed Bean. A really good demo.
In this show John Jardin returns to give us a great demonstration in using the XPages Navigator control to do partial refreshes of an XPages Content. By using multiple custom controls you can simulate 2 or more web pages within a single .xsp page. This is a really good demo for this who want to work with the Navigator control.
In this show Paul Withers returns to enlighten us on what Data Contexts and Variable Resolvers are and how to use them in XPages.
In addition I want to send out some Happy Birthday wishes to:
Bruce Elgort and Mikkel Heisterberg and also a belated Happy Birthday Paul Withers himself!
I know of 2 main resources to try and get specific help on XPages issues. StackOverFlow.com and the XPages Forum.
While StackOverFlow (SO) is clearly the best place to go with a specific question, it’s not the best place for every situation. SO is geared more to very specific questions. It’s not a place for higher level discussions.
This is where the XPages Forum comes in. It’s a specific site on developerWorks for XPages focused questions and talk. I was very excited to see this tweet come up on my screen yesterday from Craig Lordan telling us that the Forum template code has been updated:
The forum now has a new UI look and feel and as best as I can tell 1 or 2 minor functionality changes.
While I try to visit there as often as I can, there are a bunch of TRUE experts who try to answer questions. I know XPages Xpert Paul Calhoun, tries to answer many questions and I’ve even noticed more IBM’ers hanging out there more. Including members from the elusive XPages Development Team! That’s a big win for the community.
For various reasons the XPages Forum is near and dear to my heart. I think it’s important to have a complement to StackOverFlow. I’ve even had some private discussions with some great IBMers on trying to improve / add some more features to the forum to make it more workable. They seemed interested in the ideas, so I’m REALLY hopeful that with this update to bring it up to speed some needed feature improvements will be coming soon.
If you’ve not visited the XPages Forum in a while I strongly suggest you checking it out. If you don’t have a question try and answer one, or share an experience of something you’ve learned. There’s a great XPages Community out there but you do need to Join in The Conversation to make the most of it.
Who knows – you might even make some friends. I did!
In this show Brad Balassaitis comes back on to give a great demo on how to get started using the Data View Control. There’s a lot of power in the Data View Control and I highly recommend checking it out.
In other news, recently I did a webinar for OpenNTF.org called “Getting Started with XPages”. I presented that with Marky Roden and we want to thank those who attended.
Niklas Heidloff has now posted the video, audio and slides to the presesentation. Here’s the link to find those. http://www.openntf.org/blogs/openntf.nsf/d6plinks/NHEF-98D7BV
Today Marky Roden and I will be doing a Getting started with XPages Webinar for OpenNTF.
This is a rare event because I typically don’t do many webinars do to lack of time. But one does not simply pass on the chance to speak with Mark Roden.
This session is geared for the person new to XPages or thinking about jumping into XPages. We assume you know something about Notes Client or Domino Web development. It really is true beginner / getting started focus but there might be some things for a slightly more advanced XPager.
We have a ton of content and likely won’t get through it all – but the webinar will be recorded, the slides will be available, and a “directors cut” of the demo at least, will be coming to NotesIn9 very soon.
It’s Free. Please join us if you have time. There will be questions at the end.
