NotesIn9 157: Dabbling in Bootstrap and Font Awesome

In this show Dan Friedrich, a brand new contributor joins the Hackathon! He’s a customer (like me!) that’s been doing a lot with XPages. He’s going to talk about using Bootstrap and Font Awesome in your XPages applications.

Before the demo I take a little time to update the status of the XPages Mobile Controls and iOS8 issues as well as some overall personal opinions on the Mobile Controls themselves.

The demo starts around the 10:00 if you want to skip over my opinion stuff.

Dan’s site is: https://xpagesandme.wordpress.com/

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.
