CleanEpisode 11: OpenNTF, IBM Announcements, and dusting off the microphones | [display_podcast] It's been a while since the last episode, so Paul and David discuss what's happened in the last few months... OpenNTF The second XPages contest has just wrapped with loads of great contributions. Details of all submissions can be found on the Contest page of xpages.info. Niklas Heidloff has also created a 35 minute video. xSnippets, an XPages-enhanced resource to replace the Code Bin, has been launched with lots of great code snippets already. The site includes code highlighting by Serdar Basegmaz and has a shortened URL of http://openntf.org/xsnippets. IBM XWork Server Named from Exceptional Work Experience. The list price is $2000 per annum for a server with 4 applications, each comprising 4 NSFs. A second licence can be added to up the capacity to 8 applications, each comprising 8 NSFs. The server provides flexible use as an entry point to Domino, particularly for non-Domino customers. More information can be found on the developerWorks page. Domino 8.5.3 Domino 8.5.3 was released October 2011 and continued the precedent of 8.5.x releases being more than just point releases. Significant enhancements included: OneUIv2 and OneUIv2.1 themes Dojo 1.5.1 and Dojo 1.6.1 (the latter delivered as a plugin) OSGi as a mechanism for deploying Java plugins without needing to install files on the server, via the new Update Site template XPages and Forms/Views perspectives added to the Domino Designer perspective. All are configurable via the Preferences panel Java design element XPiNC performance enhancements Extension Library and UP1 Two forks of the Extension Library since October - 8.5.3 and 8.5.2. 8.5.3 allows easier deployment through the new Update Site template and has undergone significant refactoring in preparation for Upgrade Pack 1. An extreme example of this can be seen in the Application Layout control, look out for a forthcoming video on NotesIn9 by John Jardin (a link will be posted here in due course). 8.5.3 version includes mobile controls, RDBMS and Social. Current understanding is these won't be included in UP1, but UP2 is already in preparation. Thanks to Bruce Elgort for his help with Garageband.

CleanEpisode 10 - Taking Themes to a Podcast | This episode came out of a request from John Jardin, a developer from South Africa, who’s just getting started with themes. And I knew the man to go to. I first heard him speaking on themes at BLUG at the end of March and it changed the way I develop applications, it was that important. Today's guest - Tim Tripcony, XMage at GBS From Tim Clark: my co-presenters and today’s guest were made IBM Champions a few weeks ago. Thanks to Joyce Davis and the team at IBM for organising this. What does it mean to each of you? Will it change what you do? How we’re perceived, within our company and beyond? Themes are one of those new areas that don’t mean much to traditional Domino Developers. CSS makes sense, that’s to add styling using classes but what are themes? They’re those files on the server, right, for oneui etc. So there are the two areas. Resources and Controls. What kinds of thing can be added to resources? Can only client-side resources be added? Can resources be included based on certain criteria? Looking at the themes on the server, all they do is add CSS classes to a control. Is that all you can do? So a style is just text. Are there any differences to the syntax for setting boolean or numeric properties? Are there any limitations to the properties of a control you can set? How do you find out the control’s name? Can you explain “mode” and “override”. Mode is on the control, override on the property, right? So that’s fine if you’re setting properties for all instances of, say, a pager. What about if you only want to set them for particular instances. Can you do that? Is that where the themeId property comes in?

CleanThe XCast Episode 9 - OpenNTF & We4IT XPages Development Competition | Last episode the Development Competition had just been launched. We talk to a couple of the driving forces from OpenNTF. Bruce Elgort, chair of the Steering Committee Niklas Heidloff, chair of the technical committee For a couple of years now we’ve had the awards for open source developers each year at Lotusphere, so what was the reason for running this competition? They tell us a little bit about the sponsor since the contest wouldn’t be happening without them. We4IT - http://www.we4it.com/EN/ Tell us what needs to be done in order to contribute to the contest for openNTF? What license does the contribution need to be under? What do I need to sign or get approved by my management? How to get involved: http://openntf.org/Internal/home.nsf/dx/Get_Involved We also get answers to these important questions; Is this for newly unpublished code? Are previously published controls eligible? Who do I send the code to? In what format? Do I create a project or just email it somewhere? Techy Talk.... How do I get started creating a custom control? What is it? What’s the difference between a custom control and an XPage? Is it just like a subform? Can I pass in variables to the custom control? How does that work? Here’s a great tip, rather than just showing the code, use a Design Definition. Here’s an article on how http://www-10.lotus.com/ldd/ddwiki.nsf/dx/16102009115724SCAEXA.htm What good Examples of custom controls are there? (Login... Debugger one...) Also, my Audit Comments Custom Control Look at what’s needed to import directly into Domino Designer, using the Import and Export for Designer tool http://www.openntf.org/internal/home.nsf/project.xsp?action=openDocument&documentId=37FB34D05A78F4278625767E0026B2D4 What are good examples of custom controls? Tim - Image lightboxer Paul - Dave - Video Embedder (Actually I’ll be attempting this one myself for XPages.TV) Bruce - Niklas - Links Announcement: http://www.openntf.org/blogs/openntf.nsf/d6plinks/NHEF-8GP9AK http://contest.openntf.org/ Potential controls: http://www.openntf.org/blogs/openntf.nsf/d6plinks/NHEF-8GTB2Q This episode is sponsored by Intec | 17 5 11 | Free | View In iTunes |

CleanEpisode 8 - Mastering XPages | Martin Donnelly, IBM Tony McGuckin, IBM Mark Wallace, IBM XPages Dev Competition An OpenNTF competition for custom controls, driving re usability. Go to http://openntf.org/blog for more information There are 3 iPads up for Grabs!! Introduction We couldn’t do a podcast about XPages without discussing the Mastering XPages book. But instead of making our guests relive the agony and ecstasy involved in writing the book, we want to focus more on the technical aspects of the book. Mastering XPages Who is the target audience for the book? What are some of the techniques that the book highlights that might not be used yet by the developer community at large? What techniques or subject areas are must-read? Was there anything (suggestions/enhancements/fixes) that was fed back into the product as a result of your work on the book? Is there going to be a second book? What's the crucial omission from the book? ;-) and much more... And congratulations to our other competition winner...

CleanEpisode 7 - The XPages Forum | Joyce Davis (IBM Community Manager & Chief Blurbologist) (that’s what her IBM profile says!) ;o) Amanda Bauman (IBM Program Manager) Introduction After Lotusphere a community of XPages thought leaders came together to discuss a variety of potential projects. One of the discussions raised the need for an XPages forum, because XPages was getting subsumed by other Domino issues in the main Notes & Domino 8.5 forum. Niklas Heidloff soon put us in touch with Joyce and things started happening.. The XPages Forum What is the background to the forum template? Did the community "jump the gun" in pushing for it? What internal discussions had to take place? What are the cool features about the forum? What other forums use the XPages template? What is the plan for migrating the other forums to the template? How will the design be updated? Will the template be available on OpenNTF? How will developers be able to feed enhancements / feature requests back into the product? On Other News... Congratulations to Kathy Brown, winner of the first XPages book. But the competition's still open for the other one to be won...
